Linux: not getting the assistant to run properly

Hey, first of all: great project!

I wanted to run the assistant under a Linuxmint 20.1 environment but couldn’t get it to work. I installed g-assist via snap (https://snapcraft.io/install/g-assist/mint) and followed the setup for the Google authentication (https://github.com/Melvin-Abraham/Google-Assistant-Unofficial-Desktop-Client/wiki/Setup-Authentication-for-Google-Assistant-Unofficial-Desktop-Client). The Problem: When I launch the client and click on the settings button on the top left corner nothing happens. Therefore I can’t complete authentification. When I first started g-assist from the console I got the following warnings:

:~$ g-assist
Gtk-Message: 11:34:26.502: Failed to load module "xapp-gtk3-module"

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Hey, this was exactly the problem. In the wiki for authentication it wasn’t describe as there is probably assumed you already got beyond this point. (Also I didn’t restart my system after installation, so I had to start the client from the console - maybe there could be left hint for either restarting or accessing from terminal) Juust reopened as I wasn’t sure about the policies. Thank you for your quick support!

Ok. I’ll close this issue as resolved then…
