[Bug]: Panicked when running both with sudo and not

Hello, the errors you are getting are in screen capturing part of the app (wlroots.rs), which only currently works on wlroots-based Wayland window managers. Looks like you are using some other desktop environment, is this correct? If so, you'd have to disable that entire functionality in config, using capturer=none.

Thanks for your timely reply, but I think I am using Wayland window manager since I type echo $XDG_SESSIONTYPE and it output

wayland

I don't know if this is the case, since I am using Arch with KDE Plasma default settings.

And when I try to set capturer=none and make build and run, it output the following

./target/release/wluma 
[2023-07-30T08:04:50Z WARN  wluma] Skipping 'keyboard-dell' as it might be disconnected: No such file or directory (os error 2)
[2023-07-30T08:04:50Z INFO  wluma] Continue adjusting brightness and wluma will learn your preference over time.

Is this output means that wluma is running normally ?

[maximbaz]

Correct, it now works normally. KDE is indeed not based on wlroots, so wluma can't take into account what's shown on your screen to decide the best brightness levels, but it still uses ambient light around you. Just continue adjusting brightness to your own preference, and you should expect wluma to pick up on your habits (more or less, light sensors are quite not precise).

Ok, thank you for your help!
