Desktop App Beta Testing #13

kspearrin · 2018-02-20T05:02:02Z

We are releasing the Bitwarden desktop application as a public beta to gather feedback and fix any issues before going live. The application is now available on Windows, macOS, and Linux distributions.

Download

You can download the desktop app from the GitHub releases page here:

https://github.com/bitwarden/desktop/releases

Choose the appropriate file with the most recent version for your operating system:

Windows: Bitwarden-Installer-x.y.z.exe
macOS: Bitwarden-x.y.z.dmg
Linux: Bitwarden-x.y.z-x86_64.AppImage
- Note: Make sure you adjust permissions to make the AppImage executable: chmod a+x Bitwarden*.AppImage. More info at https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki

Other available installations:

Windows Portable: Bitwarden-Portable-x.y.z.exe
- Note: The portable version does not auto-update. Manual updates are required (re-downloading a new .exe).

macOS homebrew cask: brew cask install bitwarden
macOS Mac App Store: coming soon
Linux .deb: Bitwarden-x.y.z-amd64.deb

- Note: .rpm installations do not auto-update. It is recommended to use the .AppImage version so that you do not have to update the application manually.

Known Issues

The Windows exe files are not currently signed. Because of this, you may get a warning when trying to open them for the first time. Select the "More Info" link to "Run Anyways". The files will be properly signed when we go live.
The application menu is permanently disabled on Ubuntu 16.04. ref: Cannot change the enabled state of a menu item on Linux electron/electron#11891

Awesome work, thank you so much! :) I'll wait for the Snap to arrive though.

Attoy · 2018-02-20T15:56:35Z

Thanks @kspearrin , I'll download it and start testing it right away!

ghost · 2018-02-21T02:24:36Z

Settings don't work in Mac...

papertigers · 2018-02-21T04:15:20Z

Any chance you will officially support FreeBSD?

kspearrin · 2018-02-21T04:16:45Z

@papertigers I don't really know anything about FreeBSD. What is needed to support it? Will the AppImage not work there?

papertigers · 2018-02-21T04:31:09Z

@kspearrin you can probably ignore my request for now. It looks like electron currently doesn't build on FreeBSD. There are some community patches that need to land first.

kspearrin · 2018-02-21T04:59:46Z

@papertigers I ran our packaging tool with the freebsd option enabled and it produced this. Does it work?

https://github.com/bitwarden/desktop/releases/download/v0.0.7/bitwarden-0.0.7.freebsd

papertigers · 2018-02-21T06:02:22Z

@kspearrin it looks like its an xz file and if I untar everything, then file says its Bitwarden/bitwarden: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, stripped

It's not a huge issue. Like I said I can look at building it from the repo once electron gains support for FreeBSD. Sorry to bug you

EddieFAF · 2018-02-21T08:45:39Z

What's the difference between bitwarden-x.y.z.exe and bitwarden-x.y.z-x64.nsis.7z?

kspearrin · 2018-02-21T13:16:38Z

@EddieFAF One is a packaged portable EXE and the other is not.

kspearrin · 2018-02-21T13:17:22Z

@papertigers So it doesn't work?

zhtw2013 · 2018-02-21T13:30:29Z

Menu bar language translation?

kspearrin · 2018-02-21T13:59:19Z

@zhtw2013 Fixed in next version.

rtloeffler · 2018-02-21T17:25:51Z

@kspearrin thanks much man, a nice surprise!

One thing I like on the web version is when viewing "ALL" it'll still split up each folder. Maybe something we can see on the desktop app.

ghost · 2018-02-21T18:02:25Z

It's looking nice so far. Maybe we could have a flatpak package too.

kspearrin · 2018-02-22T21:33:29Z

@zhtw2013 Can you confirm the menu is translated now in 0.0.8?

zhtw2013 · 2018-02-22T22:48:31Z

Menu is translated!

But
Wndows、Help、Minimize、Close、Zoom in、Zoom out...
Can you add string to crowdin?

dabura667 · 2018-02-25T01:14:39Z

I can confirm some strings are missing from Crowdin.

Japanese is also partially English currently.

kspearrin · 2018-02-25T01:16:11Z

Ok, what strings ?

dabura667 · 2018-02-25T01:28:02Z

Quite a bit.

Lemme take a ton of screenshots :-P

dabura667 · 2018-02-25T01:37:15Z

kspearrin · 2018-02-25T01:38:24Z

These strings are not missing from crowdin. They just haven’t been translated yet.

dabura667 · 2018-02-25T01:38:55Z

@kspearrin I just checked desktop on crowdin, and it was 100%???

dabura667 · 2018-02-25T01:39:42Z

Also, Linux AppImage doesn't have an icon.

kspearrin · 2018-02-25T01:40:29Z

Then they were likely recently translated. It probably needs to just be refreshed for the next build. It’s not automatic.

dabura667 · 2018-02-25T01:44:07Z

Oh yes, I search for some of the words on this and it says "a day ago"

I will wait for the new release. Great job!

Once desktop is settled down will you crowd fund a formal audit? Thanks.

dabura667 · 2018-02-25T01:46:17Z

for the app icon, see this comment on a similar issue for a workaround.

Can you add string to crowdin?
Wndows、Help

Version 0.0.15

on Xubuntu 16.04. The application does not launch.

kspearrin · 2018-02-25T14:47:36Z

@probonopd It seems that a change we made in this most recent version is behaving differently on some Linux distros. For some reason the /home/me/.config/Bitwarden/ folder does not exist yet whenever we try to create the logs folder underneath it. We'll get a patch out soon.

I have tested it on Ubuntu 16.04 myself here, but I can't reproduce so I am not sure why it's doing that for you on the same.

x80486 · 2018-02-25T15:15:01Z

I'm running Ubuntu (Linux uplink 4.13.0-36-generic #40~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Feb 16 23:25:58 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux). I installed the app via snaps, but when I click on the (automatically created) link in the Dash/HUD it doesn't start — but it's launched, so I see that the icon appears in the Launcher but it disappears after some time. I tried several times since I've noticed that, sometimes, there are app(s) that just doesn't run the first couple of times after being installed, e.g.: KeePassXC, Slack, DataGrip...to name a few.

On the other hand, if I go to /snap/bitwarden/current/ and execute bitwarden, I can see the Electron app coming up as expected. So it might be the command executed for the icon.

@x80486 We are actively trying to make snap work still. We run into the same issue. See a thread we have open on snap forums here: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/app-crashes-even-in-devmode-how-do-i-debug-it/4178

kspearrin · 2018-02-26T21:15:20Z

Beta is now over. 1.0.0 will go live soon. Thanks all for the feedback.
