    Hi all,

     

    Thanks everyone who submitted tickets (and also the ones that helped here with info). 

     

    We've implemented a fix (as you some of you already reported) however, if you're still seeing that problem, you may be running into a separate issue.

     

    We can definitely look into it that for you if that's the case. 

     

    Thanks again!

    Sam

Hi there muxxum, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

 

Can you please let me know if you're getting a specific error and send us a screenshot so that we can have a visual too?

 

Also, if you're on the Basic plan, have you ensured that you have no more than 3 devices connected to your account as you might be hitting the device limit?

 

Let me know and we'll take it from there.

    I upgraded Kubuntu to 23.04 from 22.04 and I'm getting now the error on Chrome Browser. My laptop still running 22.04 and has not a problem. I have only one device registered in my account.
