@antecrescent nice catch, thanks! Will use from now on.

This is a nitpick, but I think the hash you record for anki via git rev-parse $pkgver isn't the one that upstream uses, because your hash is that of the tag itself, not that of the underlying commit (upstream uses HEAD at build/runner/src/build.rs:168).

You could use git rev-parse $pkgver^{} as per https://stackoverflow.com/a/16818141.

@testingwithfire It's not anki itself that is having issues here, it's a dependency of anki (the package is python-pyqt6-webengine). python-pyqt6-webengine depends on libxml2 and it is important that your installed versions of these two packages are aligned with each other. Normally this is what your distro maintainers do. It seems like on your side this was messed up somehow.

Without further information I don't think I can help too much, but try this command to enforce an up-to-date and fully aligned install between libxml2 and python-pyqt6-webengine

pacman -Suy libxml2 python-pyqt6-webengine

Maybe you have installed a weird AUR version of one of these or have done a partial system upgrade (hence the uy to update everything). I explicitly recommend pacman here, not pamac.

If that does not want to help give me the output for these commands:

pacman -Ql libxml2
pacman -Qs libxml2
pacman -Qs python-pyqt6-webengine

And if the two libxml2 commands above throw errors:

pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libxml2.so.*

Hi Alex, I can't make head or tail of what I should do next based on what you wrote, unfortunately.

It's too bad that anki itself is such a behemoth; wish they offered skinnied-down versions.

@testwithfire Thanks for the report! This sounds like a python-pyqt6-webengine issue. Mainly, that it has not been built against your installed version of libxml2. I'm not sure how libxml2 and python-pyqt6-webengine are installed on your side as I do not use Manjaro. My tip would be to see whether you can force a rebuild of python-pyqt6-webengine against your installed version via a re-install (clearing any relevant caches before) or down(?)-grading your libxml2 to be at at a suitable version. Note that for me /usr/lib/libxml2.so.16 is present with the current Arch repo version 2.14.3-1 of libxml2. Hope that helps!

I'm running Manjaro 25.0.1 "Zetar", XFCE desktop. Note that this is the minimal install.

I just ran pamac build anki.

anki 25.02.5-1 will not run in this environment. In the CLI, I see the following errors:

Edit: SOLVED

So it turns out a recent kernel update wasn't compatible with my nvidia driver (for a really old card). I switched to open source driver and now it works fine. Not a problem from Anki it seems.

Hi.

Anki segfaults for me without any error message:

$ anki 
Starting Anki 25.02.4...
2025-05-01 12:07:41,774:INFO:aqt.mediasrv: Serving on http://127.0.0.1:33545
[1]    189287 segmentation fault (core dumped)  anki

I used to have Anki installed in past and it worked. I reinstalled it after a long time.

I was suspecting that maybe my old config/data was a problem, so I did:

rm -rf ~/.local/share/Anki2 ~/.local/share/Anki

Is there a way to identify what is causing this to happen?

Thanks.

(P.S. I am building from 111cc4de0742 which is where master is at the time of writing.)

Hello @annatar1995 Many thanks for your report. I don't believe this is an anki issue, more likely, this is a graphics driver issue for you. Recently, some changes were done to the ownership of drivers on Arch iirc. Adapting your user to be part of the relevant group (check the ownership of /dev/dri/renderD128 or similar files and add your user to the relevant group).

An insecure but quick fix would be a chmod 666 /dev/dri/renderD128 but I would not recommend giving your entire system rw rights.

Hello.

When trying to run Anki I get the following:

This is using Wayland Plasma. Adding 


QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland
ANKI_WAYLAND=1

beforehand did nothing. anki-bin does not work either.

Thanks in advance, and apologies if this is a dumb question.

Edit: I tried on X11 i3. It did run, but the GUI contained a lot of blocks, some black. It was not usable.

Edit: The fix here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Anki/comments/1jtozfe/anki_failed_to_start_after_update_linux/ worked for me.
