Cannot start epoptes_1.0.0

[homerlinux]

I have epoptes_1.0.0-1+t201809210732~ubuntu18.04.1_all.deb installed on Linux Mint 18.3 (from the ppa:epoptes/ppa repository)

Whenever I execute /usr/bin/epoptes, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/epoptes", line 99, in
main()
File "/usr/bin/epoptes", line 89, in main
egui = gui.EpoptesGui()
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/epoptes/ui/gui.py", line 83, in init
self.get('mi_remote_assistance').set_property('visible', False)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'set_property'

Note: downgrading "epoptes" to version 0.5 workarounds the issue, but thumbnails are not shown when clients are running version 1.0.0

Note 2: commenting out line 83 from "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/epoptes/ui/gui.py" seems to do the trick and everything looks good
