Thanks @Adrian
25.08.04 solved the issue on my end. I'll let others report back if the update worked for them.

Thanks @Adrian for the quick response and update.
Just installed it, seems to work fine now.

Thanks for confirming, actually I release a .05 which doesn't need those dependencies, I was using them for convenience mostly because jq is very small and also because awk is on most of the systems but why use them if there's no need.

I am also thinking to remove that tooltip when hovering over the items, it's not terrible useful and sometime the writing gets mangled. Any opinions?

@Adrian .05 is broken. Program won't launch at all now.
.04 worked.

mx-service-manager updated today and is broken on my system.
I haven't used it in 2 or3 days and did not have the popup warning before.

Today after the update I get the popup that says:
Administrator Access Required
This operation requires administrator privileges. Please restart the application and enter your password when prompted.

Clicking ok then restarting and same thing happens.
Rebooting didn't fix it.
I apt-purged mx-service-manager and it took mx-apps with it.
Rebooted and installed mx-apps and mx-service-manager and still get the popup.

@Adrian .06 is working great. No popup authentication windows anymore.

As far as the tooltips go, they seem to display just fine on my end.
