Cannot initialize UI

[wabbit212 0]

I am running Ubuntu MATE 1.26.2 with GUI and everything on a hypervisor, and i'm fairly new to linux.
When in the terminal, trying to run "eddie-ui", it gives the following error:

Gtk-Message: 19:56:02: Failed to load module "atk-bridge"
F 2024.05.11 19:56:02 - Cannot initialize UI. Probably a DISPLAY issue, ensure your are not running as root. Error:A null reference or invalid value was found [GDI+ status: InvalidParameter]

Running it with "sudo eddie-ui", i only get the "Cannot initialize UI" error

I think i got it running in the cli with the --cli option, but not sure what happened after that as it didn't seem to connect to anything.
I have been googling trying a bunch of stuff for a couple hours, and i am now running into a wall...
What i remember trying:
Installed x-tools
Installed xorg
read the man eddie-ui

See if you can install libcanberra-gtk-module.

libcanberra-gtk-module is already the newest version (0.30-10ubuntu10).

I'm getting the same error on Debian now. I've been using Eddie UI fine for months but it's suddenly stopped working, I suspect this is down to a dependency update or OS upgrade but I still can't get it working. I've tried all things listed above, and that there is a valid DISPLAY=:0.
