stopped working

[padreputativo]

Since last update in Manjaro its stopped working... I cant solve it using an older version or reinstalling it... I think it must be some corrupted configuration or something like that...

Logs show:

I think this is related to issue #187

[padreputativo]

I think this script is dead... Time for a fork?

Assuming your on Python 3.8, you could try my fork. On Arch it requires the python-distro package to be installed. I'm guessing Manjaro has that package too.

@CodyRude, I think you should request this to be merged into master

[CodyRude]

I made a PR, #188 , as far as I know it's up the repository owners to accept it
