Thanks for the report! It looks like you're using the Snap install which is unofficial - can you confirm if you have the same issue using one of the official installation methods?

[kunjeshn]

Always welcome. Yes. The earlier install was Snap. I uninstalled it and then installed atom using package manager. Installing from the package repository seems to solve the error partially. But i still not able to fetch pull or push. error shown is as below.

Ahhh sorry, I see this was already reported so I'll close in favor of https://github.com/atom/github/issues/848 and you can subscribe there for updates if you'd like.

Fixed it by doing this on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS:

apt install libcurl3 libcurl-openssl1.0-dev

Fixed it by doing this on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS:

apt install libcurl3 libcurl-openssl1.0-dev

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  apache2 apache2-bin clamav clamtk curl dirb gnome-user-share
  libapache2-mod-dnssd libapache2-mod-php7.1 libapache2-mod-php7.2 libcurl4
  libcurl4:i386 php7.1 playonlinux
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libcurl3 php7.2-fpm

Nah no! That is not good for me (Debian 10)!
I downgraded atom to 1.30.0 and it works okay. Waiting for the fix in next version.
apt install atom=1.30.0

Also see a workaround mentioned in https://github.com/atom/github/issues/848#issuecomment-429575264 and feel free to subscribe to that issue for updates.

Thank you for your help!

apt install libcurl3 libcurl-openssl1.0-dev

[Spitfire1900]

The workaround no longer works in Ubuntu 18.10 as libcurl3 has been replaced with libcurl3-gnutls and libcurl-openssl1.0-dev (which depends on libcurl3) has been replaced with libcurl4-openssl-dev (depends libcurl4); /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4 is now owned by package libcurl4.

Fixed it by doing this on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS:

apt install libcurl3 libcurl-openssl1.0-dev

This removed my r-base-core files.
dpkg: libcurl4:amd64: dependency problems, but removing anyway as you requested:
r-base-core depends on libcurl4 (>= 7.28.0).
Apparently, libcurl3 and libcurl4 cant be installed together. For people who want both libcurl3 and libcurl4, I found a solution here:

If you are still experiencing this problem with a current version of Atom please file a new issue, thanks!
