Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/issues/514

I just installed a fresh copy of Manjaro Plasma and switched it to the testing branch and after installing Whoogle and after enabling and starting it's service I check it's status and get the below. Other than this I'm not seeing any other issues with Manjaro or other apps I've already installed. Any idea what's going on? Thanks

    ~  sudo systemctl status whoogle                                               ✔ 
[sudo] password for whacker:

@benbusby commented on GitHub (Nov 1, 2021):

Seems to be an issue with Manjaro/Arch, as reported in #476 and #488.

Are you using pip to install whoogle? If so, could you try using the test release for the app to see if it fixes your problem? It seems unlikely, but worth a shot. If that does work, feel free to reopen this issue, since that would indicate to me that it's a Whoogle-specific problem that I can fix.
