sudo error when using the plugin the first time

The first time I used this plugin i got this error:

error t=2019-08-12T12:22:18Z Failed toggling WireGuard interface

Error details:
sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified

Could you please add a description in your github README.md on how to fix this error?

Replacing pkexec with sudo

If you get tired of entering the password requested by pkexec, you can use sudo.
Add in /etc/sudoers:
user ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/wg-quick

and replace in ~/.local/share/cinnamon/applets/[email protected]/applet.js:

$diff applet.js.bak applet.js 
124c123
<                 ['pkexec', 'wg-quick', enable ? 'up' : 'down', iface],
---
>                 ['sudo', 'wg-quick', enable ? 'up' : 'down', iface],

Icon is not shown.

Cinnamon version: 4.2.3
OS: Linux Mint 19.2
Plugin version: 1.0.1

The Icon of the plugin is not shown:

Not showing connections, icon is present

Hi, in my case I have installed the "miniapplet" using both "git clone" from todays version and using the wizard that linux mint debian edition 5 has.

The problem is that I see the icon but is not detecting the wireguard connnections.

I have managed to create a pair of icons with scripts nmcli connection up 'peer5' and nmcli connection down 'peer5'

Pressing the icon does nothing:

More data for your info:

System: Kernel: 5.10.0-13-amd64 x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 10.2.1 Desktop: Cinnamon 5.2.7
tk: GTK 3.24.24 wm: muffin dm: LightDM Distro: LMDE 5 Elsie base: Debian 11.2 bullseye

I had to install something related with python prior that asked me when doing command install for installation from git but still doesnt work

In case it helps you.

Thanks.

Can't list more than 30~ configs at a time

Just an issue i'd imagine not many people would run into, but for those of us who use this as well as mullvad which can have about 175~ different wireguard servers using this applet is a bit limited in the fact it can only show about 30~ configs at a time and as far as i can tell, cant scroll.

It would be nice if scrolling capabilties were to be added for those of us with many different wireguard configs.

another suggestion would be to show folders in /etc/wireguard/ and be able to expand folders and select from there.

Failed toggling Wireguard interface

I receive this error when toggling a wireguard configuration:

If I run the command manually I get RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted
