Hi.

I install it yesterday on my vmware debian and was ok for first test.  
Then i had a problem on repo and had to delete it + reboot.

Since i can recreate and connect to repo at cmdline, but kopia-ui doesn’t shows …  
processes seems started, but nothing appears. No other GUI application problems.

```auto
❯ kopia-ui
Checking for beta autoupdate feature for deb/rpm distributions
Found package-type: deb
libva error: vaGetDriverNameByIndex() failed with unknown libva error, driver_name = (null)

```

Don’t know what happens, and how to debug this one.

```auto
❯ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="12"
VERSION="12 (bookworm)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bookworm
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"

❯ uname -a
Linux dc-debian 6.1.0-18-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.76-1 (2024-02-01) x86_64 GNU/Linux

❯ apt list --installed kopia-ui
En train de lister... Fait
kopia-ui/stable,now 0.15.0 amd64 [installé]

❯ apt list --installed kopia
En train de lister... Fait
kopia/stable,now 0.15.0 amd64 [installé]

```

If anyone could help please.  
Regards,  
David

Trick :  
i found an indirect method to access it :

```auto
 kopia server start --without-password --insecure
SERVER ADDRESS: http://127.0.0.1:51515
Open the address above in a web browser to use the UI.

```

Hi,

kopia has been moved to the taskbar i guess. Since it is debian, can you check if you have installed the extension?  
Check [KopiaUI minimizes to tray on desktop environments that do not have a system tray · Issue #3208 · kopia/kopia · GitHub](https://github.com/kopia/kopia/issues/3208)

Cheers,
