[panospap004]

• I have read the Usage and the Troubleshooting pages of the wiki
• I have made sure that both my config and system packages are up to date
• Linux distro: arco-linux

after i updated my system with yay today the ags stoped working i restarted my arch based distro sinced i was thinking it might neded a reboot for some package (idk) when i loged back in the ags stoped showing and when i run ags -r it said ags is already running so i did killall ags and re run ags with ags -r and hot the following error

[end-4]

make sure both hyprland and ags are up to date, as recently hyprland introduced a breaking change
run the update-ags.sh script and it should be fine
