What distro are you on? Did you run the executable directly or install the deb or rpm file? Can you try installing libsecret-1-0 and libjsoncpp1 (or the equivalent of your distro) and see if that helps?

Hi @TomBursch, thank you for your reply 🙏

I'm on Manjaro Gnome 23.1.0. These are the two packages installed on my system:

local/libsecret 0.21.1-1
    Library for storing and retrieving passwords and other secrets

local/jsoncpp 1.9.5-2
    C++ library for interacting with JSON

I'm extracting the tar.gz archive:

Screencast.from.2023-12-07.10-07-19.webm

I'm the maintainer of the kitchenowl package on AUR and it used to work with previous versions

[TomBursch]

Apparently, an exception was thrown if the app's secret was empty when trying to delete something inside it. I've added a check to only delete keys if they exist, which should solve this.

Additionally, from what I've found, libjsoncpp1 is not needed anymore.

Thanks for maintaining the AUR package!

Awesome, thank you 😃 I'll test it again with the next release then
