Garuda Assistant Errors on Hyprland

Hi,

I’m getting a couple of issues with Garuda Assistant on Garuda Hyprland. If I click on any of the options (such as “Refresh mirrorlist”), the command is run twice, and both times I fail to authenticate:

reflector-simple: info: reading file /etc/reflector-simple-tool.conf

Authentication is needed to run `/usr/bin/bash -c cp /etc/pacman.d/mirr ... p.XP9S5L1Jqi /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist' as the super user

==== AUTHENTICATION FAILED ====

This incident has been reported.
Press enter to exit

Where would I need to look to start investigating these issues?

Have you modified ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf? Double-check you still have this line:
