Now Working On Ubuntu 18.04?

• I am on the latest Cerebro.app version
• I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

• **Linux Lamba-PC 4.15.0-54-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jun 24 10:55:24 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux **:
• cerebro-0.3.2-x86_64.AppImage:
• Can’t open devtools as Cerebro is not working (See above how to open it):

If this is helpful:

Issue

I have downloaded the latest version of Cerebro from the releases, then chmod +x it, then ran it. It got installed.

First of all, the application does not auto-start on startup. I have to run it manually. Then, when I press Ctrl + Space, I do get the search popup, but nothing happens when I start typing. The auto-complete works, so if I type “C”, I get “Cerebro Settings” as autocomplete, but nothing else.

What I noticed, is that if I Alt+Tab, or click just underneath the popup, a transparent box appears, as shown in the image below:

I’m really in love with the concept, and need it as an alternative to Spotlight. I hope it works. Thank you ❤️

Hi, I have the same problem in Mint 19.3. Did you find a way to solve it? thanks

I just make it work with this solution

~/.config/Cerebro/config.json

Change the line “trackingEnabled”: true,

for “trackingEnabled”: false,

solution link thanks tioguda

I’m closing this as it has been fixed in latest releases (deleting traking)
