Solaar randomly stopped working
When I try to open Solaar it doesn't launch.
I have absolutely no idea what I could do since I'm pretty fresh to linux. (I did try to reinstall it)

you run it in the terminal to get more info
& we go from there
hmm interesting
Well I have totally no idea what it could mean beside seeing something (on reddit) about solaar having problems with python 13
lemme install it & see on my end
"flatpak override --user --env=LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 io.github.pwr_solaar.solaar"
this fixed it
its something related to language
I still dont understand the root cause though
yeah doesn\t happen on my end
Well I think I know what was the problem basically I had locale gb, but my only language was set as polish?
but im not 100% sure
not sure of that's a factor for flatpak apps
coulld test though
Well I found this https://github.com/pwr-Solaar/Solaar/issues/2889

But still big thanks for help
Hopefully this could be helpful to someone if they have similiar problem (even if its ducktape solution it works)
probably not ducktape
i've had to do similar stuff before
some programs/scripts just kinda expect english
this also doesn't affect any other apps
just sober
so doing this fix doesn't hurt anything
