    Hey @iwansal64 I'm sorry to hear this.

    This might be a duplicate of #675.

    Things you can try to do:

    • try running Sniffnet after having set the environment variable ICED_BACKEND=tiny-skia
    • launch Sniffnet from terminal with sniffnet --logs to see some output with the error cause

    Ah, thanks for the answer! I've tried to run it with ICED_BACKEND=tiny-skia and it still doesn't seem to fix the issue...

    and then when I type sniffnet --logs to the terminal just like what you've said, I got this error in the logs:

    thread 'main' panicked at library\core\src\slice\sort\shared\smallsort.rs:860:5:
    user-provided comparison function does not correctly implement a total order
    note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
    

    I don't know if this helps, but I have found this article about that error in another rust project on github: fish-shell/fish-shell#10763 (comment)

    Thanks for the logs.
    As I suspected this is a duplicate of #675, and will be likely be fixed with the next version of the iced library.
