Common Issues

"ValueError: Namespace AppIndicator3 not available" (Linux Only)

This error message indicates that the AppIndicator3 module, which the application uses to display tray icons on Linux, is not available on your system.

To resolve this issue, you will need to install the libayatana-appindicator3-dev package, which provides the necessary files and libraries for the AppIndicator3 module. To install the package, use the following command:

sudo apt-get install libayatana-appindicator3-dev
