**Workaround:** ask your organization admin to [approve access](https://docs.github.com/en/organizations/restricting-access-to-your-organizations-data/approving-oauth-apps-for-your-organization)
to the GitHub Desktop development app.

### My shell/terminal is not detected and is stuck on GNOME Terminal

On non-GNOME desktop's the GitHub Desktop application may not correctly set the
environment's shell, despite the shell being selected in the application settings.

Attempting to launch the shell from the application will show the error
"cannot read property 'path' of undefined".

**Workarounds:**

- Option 1: install a second different terminal, switch to it, then switch to the terminal you want to use, and then uninstall the second terminal.
- Option 2: open the application's developer tools and step through the JS calls to correctly set the shell. Further details at https://github.com/shiftkey/desktop/issues/344#issuecomment-1001287110
