Issues running on Ubuntu 18.04

[StanleyGoldman]

Reported by @stanishev @firebaugh @kmcdowelljr in #950 They are experiencing issues with using GitHub for Unity on Ubuntu.

These errors appear in their logs rather consistently, leading me to agree that it is a platform issue rather than a user issue.

1. Error during initialization of RepositoryWatcher & SFW

[mineus64]

Is there some sort of solution or workaround to this bug? It completely prevents usage of GitHub for Unity on all Linux OSes.

[datavikingr]

I'm having the same issue here. I can't login from Linux at all. Pop Os! 19.04 (Ubuntu fork) Latest Unity build for Linux Latest version of the extension.

[treierxyz]

Any news? Still doesn't work on Ubuntu 19.04.
