Hi there.
As you had already posted this problem two days ago, maybe noone knows the solution, or had the time to look at this yet.
Please don't cross-post or double post for the same problem. Be patient, and if someone can help you, they will answer.

For the popup, can you maybe take a screenshot of that? Also, which desktop environment are you using?
