Arch Linux

Fails to build:

==> ERROR: Missing package() function in /tmp/yaourt-tmp-raziel/aur-fofix/./PKGBUILD
==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build fofix

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.

Merging into fofix.

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

/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.

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

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')
...

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

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.

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.

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....

Fails to run:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./FoFiX.py", line 108, in <module>

import Image
ImportError: No module named Image

Fixed it with:

yaourt -Rdd python2-pillow
yaourt -S python2-pil

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?

needs to solve python-rsvg to python2-rsvg dependency issue:

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.

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

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 ;)

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

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

I have the same trouble.. help!!

I get the following error:
