Service failed to start (code=exited, status=101)

Hi, I've installed font helper but it can't run. I don't know what causes this error.

This is the result when I checked the status

● fonthelper.service - Font Helper for Figma

Hi, thanks for your quick reply!

The last four log files doesn't contain anything, and this is the 5th log file fonthelper_2020-05-19_06-33-26.log

it looks like this, the remaining is same as the last line all the way down

In my case the problem was due to a missed comma in the config file

I'm also getting this error now! I made the latest update to 0.1.8

This is my output on start / status check

in the logs I see this error info:

I had a similar issue - my solution was a clean uninstall then reinstall - since there is no uninstall script it's a bit tricky but I uninstalled using the commands suggested in this comment - https://github.com/Figma-Linux/figma-linux-font-helper/issues/11#issuecomment-1670917457

I reinstalled again from curl and now it works!
