Could someone please help? The path containing the null looks erroneous.

Im on manjaro and it works great, im on kernel 5.13, and gnome 41

[rexkogitans]

Is it possible that I am missing a dependency? Did I run the wrong command?

[yavko]

Maybe, just try again ig

[rexkogitans]

Haha, just try it again is something I did about 100 times, also in many variants.

[yavko]

maybe try doing it in a vm to test, or check the dependencies of qode
