Installing Microsoft Edit in Debian or Ubuntu based distros

Ismael Lamberty
Tech Lead / Creator

Microsoft Edit provides terminal editing with full mouse and copy-paste support.

???+ note The current version of Edit (1.2.0) is not available via the package manager apt yet. This could change at some point in the future, making for an easier deployment.

Install pre-requisites

Section titled “Install pre-requisites”

Install zstd, needed to decompress the downloaded archive:

Terminal window
sudo apt install zstd

Install the latest Edit version from GitHub for x86_64

Section titled “Install the latest Edit version from GitHub for x86_64”

Download and install the latest release: EDIT_VERSION=$(curl -s “https://api.github.com/repos/microsoft/edit/releases/latest” | grep -Po ‘“tag_name”: “v\K[0-9.]+’) wget -qO edit.tar.zst https://github.com/microsoft/edit/releases/latest/download/edit-$EDIT_VERSION-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.zst sudo tar xf edit.tar.zst -C /usr/local/bin edit edit –version rm -rf edit.tar.zst

The commands above can be turned into a script for repeat installs.

The issue

Section titled “The issue”

Upon connecting the GOG Galaxy client to Ubisoft Connect, it goes into a disconnected state again. This happens just seconds after signing in to the Ubisoft Connect account using the plugin’s login.

How to fix the issue

Section titled “How to fix the issue”

???+ note This seems to be an open issue in the GitHub repo referenced below. A definitive solution has not been found as this method needs to be re-applied from time to time.

A solution shared on a Reddit post applies here:

And this is also shared in this GitHub issue:

https://github.com/FriendsOfGalaxy/galaxy-integration-uplay/issues/33#issuecomment-1444362239

The basics are here for reference:

  • Click on the “Connect” button in the Ubisoft Connect integration settings on GOG Galaxy
  • Upon getting the screen, copy the (1) appId and (2) genomeId values from the pop-up URL

  • Modify the file %localappdata%\GOG.com\Galaxy\plugins\installed\uplay_afb5a69c-b2ee-4d58-b916-f4cd75d4999a\consts.py
    • If using VSCode, you can just execute in a powershell shell this command
Terminal window
code %localappdata%\GOG.com\Galaxy\plugins\installed\uplay_afb5a69c-b2ee-4d58-b916-f4cd75d4999a\consts.py
  • Find the lines shown below and replace the values with the ones you got from the Ubisoft Connect login screen
CLUB_APPID = "f35adcb5-1911-440c-b1c9-48fdc1701c68"
CLUB_GENOME_ID = "5b36b900-65d8-47f3-93c8-86bdaa48ab50"
  • Save the file and log in on the Ubisoft Connect login screen
  • The client should now stay connected, as shown below

!!! info inline end “Remember” Remember that this fix, so far, needs to be re-applied if Ubisoft changes the values on their side
