[saaska]

Version 2.0.935+8b4735fc7b

Operating system Windows 11 Pro x64, WSL, Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS. Installed a fresh Ubuntu in WSL, downloaded https://github.com/git-ecosystem/git-credential-manager/releases/download/v2.0.935/gcm-linux_amd64.2.0.935.deb, installed it with deb -i, installed gpg and pass, ran

gpg --gen-key
pass init <gpg_id>
export GCM_CREDENTIAL_STORE=gpg
git-credential-manager configure

What Git host provider are you trying to connect to? A private GitBucket host.

Expected behavior When I git clone a new repo, a GUI window with login/password form appears.

Actual behavior An exception "System.DllNotFoundException" is thrown, and a standard console prompt Username for '<repo_url>': apears.

Logs

Can you run git-credential-manager diagnose and attach the output?

[saaska]

Reports nothing wrong

Can you attach the full output log file?

I had this same issue. For me the solution was just to run git config --global credential.guiPrompt false since my wsl ubuntu has no GUI

[leonardopn]

My solution using arch linux: install the lib git-credential-manager-core-extras

This lib add many UI's support for your git-credential-manager

Thank you this worked for me 👍

Possibly related: just hit this on completely fresh install In my case error message is a bit different and the actual culprit is missing libfontconfig "apt install build-essential" pulls it in and fixes the problem (you could install it directly, but i needed it for node anyway)

Maybe deb package should have some dependencies set? Or documented (which is probably more cross-distro compatible solution)
