Pince doesn't start

[Alib234]

So after running the install script then running pince by doing sh PINCE.sh it gives this and then doesn't do anything

/home/alib234/Gits/PINCE/libpince/libscanmem/misc.py:24: PyGIWarning: Gtk was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('Gtk', '4.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.

Which distro are you on?

[Alib234]

I'm on arch linux

[Alib234]

so I finally did something towards trying to make this work I added import gi gi.require_version('Gtk', '4.0') below the import sys in the /libpince/libscanmem/misc.py script

now it tries to start but can't connect to display?

like if I run ./PINCE.sh it gives me `QStandardPaths: runtime directory '/run/user/1000' is not owned by UID 0, but a directory permissions 0700 owned by UID 1000 GID 985 QSocketNotifier: Can only be used with threads started with QThread QStandardPaths: runtime directory '/run/user/1000' is not owned by UID 0, but a directory permissions 0700 owned by UID 1000 GID 985 Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key

(python3:114608): Gtk-WARNING **: 03:50:53.268: cannot open display: :0`

and if I run QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb ./PINCE.sh it gives me `Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display :0 qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found. This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, webgl, xcb.

/home/alib234/Gits/PINCE/PINCE.sh: line 25: 114756 Aborted sudo -E python3 PINCE.py`

so not sure what's wrong after that one change but it seems to go further than without it

I fixed this by just adding sudo before sh PINCE.sh

@Fruitloopins Thanks for the input, I've updated readme accordingly

Linking this to #153

If you are still getting this error you can try the solutions in there

Both installation and launcher scripts has been updated, there's no need to use sudo beforehand anymore
