[niknah]

That's the "warning" message.
The error message is...
configparser.NoSectionError: No section: 'mai

Maybe there's more and it was cut off.

Do you have a [main] section In the file... ~/.config/kazam/kazam.conf

Try removing/renaming that file and starting it again.

[bazzscript]

this is the correct error message
its saying no section 'main'

[bazzscript]

how do i add main

[niknah]

In the file ~/.config/kazam/kazam.conf

There should be a [main] section

If you remove that file, it'll be recreated automatically.

good to close, purging

~/.config/kazam/kazam.conf

seems to work
