Are you able to open About window?

Just installed it earlier this day, got the same issue. Tried to compile it from the source. The Error I got was libawiata 1.1 not found when compiling. ( Command was sudo meson builddir --prefix=/usr/local )

Well I have libadwaita 1.1 installed. Could it be that it requires 1.2?

[tfuxu]

Yes, it requires libadwaita >= 1.2.alpha

[tfuxu]

Looks like Fedora 36 is stuck on version 1.1.0-1

[tfuxu]

Hmm, @LyesSaadi provides version 1.2.beta for Fedora 36 in his copr, maybe you should be able to update from this?

[LyesSaadi]

Hello, you need to do :

sudo dnf upgrade

I don't know why dnf doesn't do that automatically...

[LyesSaadi]

Oh, the fact that it didn't update automatically was an error, my bad, will solve that!

[nlogozzo]

Oh ok I will check out the copr and update libadwaita...thanks!

[nlogozzo]

@LyesSaadi just a heads up...libadwaita 1.2.0 official was released a few days ago you might want to look into updating the copr with that new version

[LyesSaadi]

Yup, thanks for the reminder!

Last thing after updating everything worked fine but there was an error for a python module pluggy which was not installed automatically.

    import pluggy

The error was solved by installing the package through pip. Just letting you know this.

@LyesSaadi, we need to update the spec with pluggy because i'll use that for the plugin system

Uh, when was it added? In 0.2.2 or still is in master?

[0xMRTT]

Don't know 😅

[LyesSaadi]

It was... :/... At least it is in Fedora.

Anyway, I think I'm writing release instructions :sweat_smile:. The issue is that pluggy was not installed in the flatpak either :/...
