Error when running wsdd command

[Spectroxx]

Hello, I'm trying to run wsdd on popOS, after installing and executing it I receive the error below. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Could you please check if wsdd isn't running already? The socket wsdd binds to is already in use. So either wsdd has been started (e.g. by systemd) or another process occupies that port. You can issue ss -tlnp | fgrep 5359, e.g. to look at the ports...

My bad, that was the issue. Thank you, I completely overlooked that.

Could you please open a new issue for that since the original one was resolved?
