Immediate Crash: X Connection to :0 broken

[voidfactory 0]

Hi,

after being able to install eddie-ui-git again on my CachyOS system, with Niri and DMS, the program starts, asks me for system permission and then initializes, only to immediately crash once it has finished initializing. Interestingly, it also immediately crashes Discord when it happens to be open. his is the entire process of what happens when I type eddie-ui into the terminal: 

❯ eddie-ui

I see that this is a display issue of some kind, but I'd appreciate any kind of guidance on how to diagnose and deal with the problem further. To note: I have previously tried installing eddie-ui, eddie-cli, eddie-ui as an appimage as well as through the git clone process. This is the eddie-ui-git version. Are there any remnants from those installations trying to interfere?
