Has anyone gotten Corectrl to work on Arch Linux?
Yes. The installation was like any other AUR package. No problems here.
I installed the git version -> yay -S corectrl-git
Arch Linux has switched from hwids to hwdata causing AUR difficulties until next stable update
No advanced OC in Corectrl 1.3.1
How do I add CoreCtrl to the autostart?

Hello everyone,
Yesterday I've tried installing corectrl from the AUR but, when I tried to run it, I get the following error:
[09-06-20 21:31:00.457][W] No translation found for locale en_US [09-06-20 21:31:00.457][W] Using en_EN translation. [09-06-20 21:31:00.584][W] Cannot start helper [09-06-20 21:31:00.584][W] Initialization failed [09-06-20 21:31:00.584][W] Exiting...
What should I do? My machine's language was always set to en_US; I installed corectrl with yay -Sy corectrl (I also tried corectrl-git, still didn't work), and I also installed the optional dependencies, with no luck whatsoever.
cat /tmp/CoreCtrl.log:

I've also found this issue on upstream's gitlab: https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl/-/issues/89
My setup:
Arch Linux
WM: i3wm (no DEs installed)
Display Manager: LightDM
Display server: X11
I've checked Polkit and it runs just fine. I also tried installing the qt5 package group, but that did nothing to fix the issue.
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!
EDIT: fixed by running corectrl with sudo
