Arch Linux User Repository

@escape0707

Could you please share a method to reproduce that error? (I was't constantly using Anki recently so I didn't tried recent versions except for whether it runs.)

1. I'm using the kde-unstable repository.
2. Install anki-bin with yay -S anki-bin.
3. Run anki from the terminal.
4. See the error.

Did you perform a system upgrade while Anki is already running and didn't rerun it so that you run into this problem?

No

What solution have you tried?

Couldn't think of anything to try other than reporting it here.

Does restarting the app or reboot your system solve it?

No. The problem persists.

That's quite possible. My system has qt 6.7.0beta1 since I'm using the kde-unstable repository.

EDIT: Additional info: I tried the anki AUR package and I still get exactly the same error.

Hi. I have already tried all those steps to no avail when I posted that comment. In the meantime I used "Anki Official Bundle" AUR package. But looks like it disappeared.

But I am happy to report that now this package, anki-bin, is working without issue. Thank you for your work!

@fmang Double-check your system package dependency.

$ pactree -r xcb-util-cursor | head -n4
xcb-util-cursor
└─qt6-base
  ├─python-pyqt6
  │ ├─anki-bin

When attempting to run anki, the application refused to start because of the following error:

Qt debug: "/usr/share/anki/lib/PyQt6/Qt6/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so" cannot load: Cannot load library /usr/share/anki/lib/PyQt6/Qt6/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so: (libxcb-cursor.so.0: Ne peut ouvrir le fichier d'objet partagé: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type)

This got solved by installing xcb-util-cursor.

@prometheus I've never encountered your problem.

But due to some Googling, I'd suggest you fully upgrade your system, then try to rebuild and reinstall this package to see if this solves your issue.

Please do report back the result.

@AsukaMinato Thank you for adding these amazing features to Anki!

Normally, a -bin package shouldn't follow the upstream beta channel, but since you joined the development of Anki and contributed significant features to the latest beta release, could you please tell me if it's suitable to follow the beta tag this time? Like, is it stable enough to let everyone upgrade to 23.10 right now?

Doesn't start:

@Ignotum thank you for your kind words! Yeah, the original build process can be resource intensive.
