Wallpaperdownloader doesnt launch

[Christian Pranskau]

Ive tried installing using both PPA, PoP os flatpak and snapd and am getting the same error. Logs from attempted terminal launch (to see if i could find the issue)

Resolved by uninstalling, purging and manually deleting /root/.wallpaperdownloader

Hi and thank you very much for your feedback and clarification. Nevertheless, I don’t get why .wallpaperdownloader directory was created in /root

Maybe you executed wallpaperdownloader script being root user? It is weird but I’m glad it is solved now
