"Could not connect: No such file or directory" when trying to sign in

The problem

When I finish logging in in the browser and the browser redirects back to Github Desktop, I get a modal with "Could not connect: No such file or directory".

The repo folder is all ok (I can commit, push and pull it via command line or other Git clients).

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, no luck.

Release version

3.3.12-linux2 (x64)

Operating system

Ubuntu 22.04 WSL

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Start with a failed login (not sure how to reproduce it or why it happened to me), in an already clonned repo
   

2 Do the standard login procedure via browser

3. Complete the login and wait for the browser to take you back to Github Desktop
   

Log files

From DevTools, it makes three requests, and they all work well, giving some of my data:

And in the console (starting from the error message that says I'm not logged in, through the login process until finally the issue raises):

Desktop logs are similar:

And this is when I run github-desktop on the command line. Same thing, but I have several "No such file or directory" for "/run/user/1000/bus" that start throwing every time since the app is launched.

Screenshots

Additional context

After the error, Github Desktop remains not logged in. The File > Options > Accounts screen still has the "Sign into GitHub.com" button.

It seems that the messages in the terminal are related to the issue.

I created a directory with sudo mkdir -p /run/user/1000/bus (as in the message) and chmod 777'ed it, and now the message changed to:

Strangely, I installed GitHub Desktop on WSL on 17 March and it worked well until last Friday... Since then, the computer only slept over the weekend...

I'm still researching but it seems to be related to WSL not having systemd...

EDIT: Due to the pressure on recent projects' deadlines, I had to wipe and reinstall Ubuntu on WSL to have it working again.
