Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/SillyTavern/SillyTavern-Launcher/issues/49

Environment

🐧 Linux

System

Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS Release: 22.04 Codename: jammy

Describe the problem

On Kubuntu 2022.04 LTS, the launcher fails. After selecting "Start SillyTavern", the following messages appear
in the console

Choose Your Destiny: kf.config.core: "KConfigIni: In file /home/andreas/.local/share/color-schemes/Matrix-Dark.colors, line 1: " Invalid entry (missing '=')
kf.config.core: "KConfigIni: In file /home/andreas/.local/share/color-schemes/Matrix-Dark.colors, line 2: " Invalid entry (missing '=')
"Could not find binary: " "cd"
"Could not find binary: " "cd"

I believe the kf.config.core messages to be a red herring - similar messages are given by programs that successfully launch. cd is only a builtin, i.e. which cd does not return anything.

launcher got a massive update which fixed most bugs so should now be fixed at github.com/SillyTavern/SillyTavern-Launcher@240badb9c9 (diff-070e0054c9)

please update the launcher and let me know if everything works stable
