Hi Aznorth.

Thanks for the report :). Seems like there are two issues:

  • python2-pillow depends on python2-pytest, which is not very useful for the end user
  • python2-pytest is missing several dependencies.

If you can install pillow without pytest, you should be released of those missing dependencies, I think.

Hi, Arch repositories are missing some python2 dependencies that fofix need. Is it a known problem ? I do known that fofix is still using python2, but is there a way to build it and anyway make it work properly ?

yay indicates me that these are the concerned dependancies:

        python2-setuptools-scm (Dependencies of: fofix -> python2-pillow -> python2-pytest)
        python2-py (Dependencies of: fofix -> python2-pillow -> python2-pytest)
        python2-pluggy (Dependencies of: fofix -> python2-pillow -> python2-pytest)
        python2-more-itertools (Dependencies of: fofix -> python2-pillow -> python2-pytest)
        python2-funcsigs (Dependencies of: fofix -> python2-pillow -> python2-pytest)
        python2-atomicwrites (Dependencies of: fofix -> python2-pillow -> python2-pytest)
        python2-wcwidth (Dependencies of: fofix -> python2-pillow -> python2-pytest)
        python2-pathlib2 (Dependencies of: fofix -> python2-pillow -> python2-pytest)
        python2-importlib-metadata (Dependencies of: fofix -> python2-pillow -> python2-pytest)

thank you, there are more issues though.

chmod -R 777 $pkgdir/opt/fofix

mode 777 is certainly not a good thing.

needs patching due to this problem (putting 2 spaces in front of return does it):

File "/opt/fofix/src/Audio.py", line 225
    return numpy.zeros(size, dtype='h')
         ^

MD5 sum updated. Thank you :).

jose1711 commented on 2019-12-04 09:09 (UTC)

needs sum update for fofix.desktop

diazkun commented on 2019-10-26 03:07 (UTC)

Can also confirm that it just completly crashes and have to force kill in multiple random places while navigating the menu.

mefistofeles commented on 2019-04-27 22:41 (UTC)

I'm experiencing random freezes with this, already tried removing the old configuration and starting a new one from scratch (that is new .fofix folder) and it still happens. Any ideas?

It just get stuck/frozen, nothing works and nothing shows up in terminal.

Linkid commented on 2017-08-18 17:48 (UTC)

The sheband was added. Thanks.

MCMic commented on 2017-08-17 11:04 (UTC)

The shebang is missing the "!" in /usr/bin/fofix

Linkid commented on 2016-09-01 20:51 (UTC)

Patch added for the 'tostring' error.

Hello, again me, with the fretsonfire patch, I can start the game, but when I load a song, the game crash with this error: [malah@arch-desktop ~]$ fofix libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/tls/r600_dri.so libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/r600_dri.so libGL: Using DRI2 for screen 0 Fatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Floating Point Exception /usr/bin/fofix : ligne 3 : 14012 Abandon (core dumped)python2 ./FoFiX.py Some users have point that pyvorbis can be the error, but I haven't found the patch which was on google code :'( any tips to have this game working ? Edit: never mind, it was a bad song pack, it works now ;)

Linkid commented on 2015-08-06 13:35 (UTC)

Fix: there were some errors in the version 3.121 that were patched. So I manually added them.

Salamandar commented on 2015-08-05 21:07 (UTC)

Nope, still doesn't work…

Linkid commented on 2015-07-09 18:47 (UTC)

Fix: the new PKGBUILD should work.

oswald-p commented on 2014-02-08 10:08 (UTC)

Replacing "import Image" by "from PIL import Image" in video.py file fixes the error allowing to launch fofix. Songs must be placed in /opt/fofix/data/songs directory with 777 settings (!) The game is still unplayable as it crashes during sound initialization (I tryed solo>quickplay) returning this error: "Fatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Floating Point Exception". according to this : https://code.google.com/p/fofix/issues/detail?id=1278 it is probably due to pyvorbis.

alucryd commented on 2014-01-25 16:13 (UTC)

Merging into fofix.

MCMic commented on 2014-01-09 16:25 (UTC)

Thanks for looking into it. It seems replacing "import Image" by "from PIL import Image" fixes the error.

doorknob60 commented on 2014-01-08 23:12 (UTC)

And it looks like as of today, python2-imaging was removed from the official repos, and is now orphaned in AUR, and doesn't build. Hmm, not sure what to do here. Looking at the file list for pillow, it looks like it provides files relating to PIL and Imaging, but Fofix doesn't seem to accept them. I'll see what I can do, but no promises.

doorknob60 commented on 2014-01-08 23:04 (UTC)

I'm not sure if there's a way to make it work with pillow. Because pillow conflicts and provides python2-imaging, I would probably consider it a bug with the pillow package that it doesn't work with pillow, because it's not properly providing the other package. If anyone finds a way to easily patch fofix to work with pillow, I can switch the dependency over, but I would file a bug report since pillow isn't doing its job at "providing" imaging.

MCMic commented on 2014-01-08 22:59 (UTC)

I don't have python2-imaging, I have python2-pillow which provides python2-imaging and is needed by several other packages so I can't switch package :-/ Is there any way to make it work with python2-pillow?

doorknob60 commented on 2014-01-08 19:50 (UTC)

python2-imaging should contain that module, so I don't know what could be missing. I don't have time to troubleshoot it right now though, and might not until sometime next week.

MCMic commented on 2014-01-08 19:46 (UTC)

/usr/bin/fofix is missing a "!" on first line. It should be "#!/bin/sh" Even after fix, I get : "ImportError: No module named Image" so I guess there is a dependency missing.

kdb424 commented on 2013-12-13 05:06 (UTC)

Also note that I force reverted from pillow to pil, so that isn't an issue for me (though that does need fixed eventually)

kdb424 commented on 2013-12-13 05:02 (UTC)

Having an issue with a crash when song loads. It's numpy on 231 (around there). If you fix it so the game doesn't crash, the audio track doesn't play for guitar. If you don't fix it, it crashes on song load. I had to change to this just to keep it from crashing ... import numpy def zeros(size): return numpy.zeros(size, dtype='h') ...

Vorzard commented on 2013-11-24 15:50 (UTC)

This is a duplicate package (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fofix/) and a dependency is missing (python2-numpy).

doorknob60 commented on 2013-11-17 21:26 (UTC)

Never mind, I think I fixed it :D Pyxml apperantly isn't required anymore, and it seems to work without it. As for python2-imaging, the python2-pillow package is a fork of it, and supposedly provides it. However, when I replace the imaging package with pillow, fofix fails to load. I consider this a bug with python2-pillow, because it does not properly provide the libraries fofix needs, and there's nothing I can do about that.

doorknob60 commented on 2013-11-17 21:18 (UTC)

I'm not sure if the pyxml package exists anymore. Apperantly, it was old, unmaintained code, and I didn't find any articles about Arch, but I think Fedora dropped it: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/RemovePyXML . I assume Arch must have done the same. You can try building it without the package, but that will probably fail. Unless they updated the Fofix code to run with a different library, it probably won't build unless someone makes a pyxml package (which I don't have time to mess with). The problem is, that the Fofix code hasn't been updated in years, and it uses some obscure libraries, so I don't know how easy it will be to get working again.

blablubb1234 commented on 2013-10-14 21:47 (UTC)

Cannot install this package as "pyxml" is not available anymore :/ Furthermore python2-imaging conflicts with python2-pillow (which is, f.e., needed by calibre). A pity, because I really love Frets on Fire....

doorknob60 commented on 2012-11-19 02:17 (UTC)

Whet exactly is wrong with this package right now? It's flagged, but all the dependencies seem to be referring to their proper python2 names, and it seems to work fine on my system as is. I don't have python2-rsvg installed, does it need it?

nico666 commented on 2012-10-29 19:34 (UTC)

needs to solve python-rsvg to python2-rsvg dependency issue: https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2012-September/023558.html

doorknob60 commented on 2011-04-14 16:18 (UTC)

Oh, I've seen that bug plenty of times, and never really found any solutions. I'm pretty sure it's on their bugtracker, go look at that and see if it has any useful information.

matse commented on 2011-04-14 12:22 (UTC)

Another addition to my bug: Sometimes the songs really work! But in nine of ten times fofix crashes, what is really annoying.

matse commented on 2011-04-14 09:58 (UTC)

I get the following error when I try to play a lot of songs: Fatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault /usr/bin/fofix: Zeile 3: 17540 Abgebrochen python2 ./FoFiX.py (and the songs worked once under the windows version of fofix). Using an up to date stable arch, advice is welcome ;)

doorknob60 commented on 2011-02-07 03:43 (UTC)

It works fine for me with a fully updated [testing] system.

commented on 2011-02-06 19:17 (UTC)

i found the solution!... you have to downgrade this packages, blas and lapack to their previous version
