Hi @vincentcox,

We just tried to reproduce this with fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04; app was working as expected.

Do you also have SwiftnessX's older version installed on your system? One more thing, did the app behave same with Appimage?

If SwiftnessX's older version is installed:

1. Open the app
2. Export your data
3. Now remove the app's storage.json (stored in ~/.config/<App_Name>)
4. Remove the older version
5. Reinstall latest version
6. Import the data (which you exported in 2nd step)

Let me know if that works.

Hi @ehrishirajsharma ,

It appears that the error is caused because the program couldn't find the file /opt/Swiftness/resources/app-update.yml. From the releases I downloaded the SwiftnessX.zip file, copied the contents of resources to the /opt/Swiftness to try to fix this:

sudo cp -r ~/Downloads/SwiftnessX.app/Contents/Resources/* /opt/Swiftness/resources/

Now, when I try to launch the application, it throws this error:

I also tried the appimage:

But this gives the same error.

Hi @vincentcox,

Just wanted to update on this thread, still working on this issue. There seem to be multiple problems with Debian environment. I will keep you posted once I hve more updates.

[vincentcox]

Thanks for the update, really kind of you. Take your time. I can test on Kali and Ubuntu for you, let me know how I can help! 💪

[ehrishirajsharma]

Hi @vincentcox,

Please confirm with the latest release, let me know if everything works as expected on Ubuntu.

[vincentcox]

Unfortunately, on Ubuntu it is still happening:
