Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

I tried updating Psst to the latest on Arch (installed via AUR) and now I can't open Psst. I see the icon flash in my taskbar for a second but then it goes away.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior.

Install via AUR. Try to open. Doesn't open.

Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.
See above.

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Environment

  • OS: Arch
  • Version: latest? Built off the psst-git

Additional context
Add any other context about the problem here.

Happy to provide logs or anything else that would be of use, just not sure where to look. Know Arch isn't technically supported but wondering if there's some other issue I may be missing.

Can you send run psst from a terminal and send the output?

That worked.

Tried running as sudo and it worked. Correction, it works until I attempt to log in and then I get the same above error. I deleted the config file from my normal user and had the same issue.

Update: fixed by installing pipewire-alsa and running normally.
Still, I think psst should use the PulseAudio frontend when running with pipewire.
