[error] Failed to register as toplevel manager

I've upgraded to latest waybar from ppa to get wlr/taskbar After that I see:

[error] Failed to register as toplevel manager

While launching waybar.

Waybar v0.9.3
ubuntu 20.04

[kepet19]

The PPA sems to not be updated, the lastest released version is 0.9.5
Can you try to compile from master branch? I think I remember something like that got fixed in the latest release?

Waybar v0.9.5 (branch 'HEAD')
