I also ran into the the checksum issue. Using yay, the checksum verification can be skipped with:

yay -S mnemosyne --mflags '--skipchecksums'

This patch file now has a sha256sum of 086691d23ab73354af338ba69c42d7facf36c2a6663271c95e242b35679a8ead - https://github.com/mnemosyne-proj/mnemosyne/commit/b0e85fbb54a23add1fe8a0d56123b2ddb056b325.patch

Not sure if the commit was ever c5a57..... maybe the author force-pushed a new commit?

Anyways, pacman is failing to install with the PKGBUILD as it is currently..

@Lukas1818: I've followed your suggestion and updated the PKGBUILD accordingly. Let me know if you have any issues :-)

@billypilgrim I do not think waiting until the next release make sense. At the current state the application can not be used by anyone who has not already installed python-googletrans. So this package is useless for many users at the moment.

Furthermore the pull-request was already merged to the upstream.

Hi CI-Lukas1818. Thanks for doing this. I think I'll hold off on updating the PKGBUILD until the upstream maintainer releases a new version though (hopefully incorporating these patches) before updating.

@billypilgrim if you make the following change to this package, it can be build again:

@billypilgrim I have created a pull request, which make both packages optional.#201

Using the following patch should fix the python-httpx issue: https://github.com/mnemosyne-proj/mnemosyne/pull/201/commits/b0e85fbb54a23add1fe8a0d56123b2ddb056b325.patch

@billypilgrim I had already create an issue for this: #200

They do not have any interest to implementate this. So if we would like to have this features, we must create our own path. May the mnemosyne maintainer will accept a merge request.

Thanks for the clarification @Lukas1818.

Neither of the issues you raise involve any changes I could make to this package, however. It looks like the python-httpx issue has already been mentioned on the python-googletrans page, so hopefully a fix is in hand. You're right that this should be optional functionality though -- how about raising an issue with the mnemosyne folks upstream?

@billypilgrim I think n1ghtmare does mean the python-httpx package, which is a dependency of python-googletrans. The problem is that python-googletrans is not compatible with the current python-httpx package and need an outdated version of it.

It would be very nice if python-googletrans and python-gtts will be only optimal dependencies, but sadly mnemosyne does not allow this.

May user can apply this patch manual, if they do not need google translate: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/mnemosyne/-/blob/master/debian/patches/disable_google_translator.patch

@n1ghtmare: Your comment is a bit vague. What exact error message are you getting? Which dependencies seem to be missing?

Does not build because of missing dependencies.

Weird. It did build on my local machine before, but you're right that the checks aren't passing anymore. I've fixed that now.

The sha256 sum fails the validity check.

I believe that mplayer should be an optional dependency for sound playback in cards

Thanks @jmehne! I've updated the package to v2.7.3 now and I'll report the bug to upstream.

Edit: Oh, it seems like you're an upstream maintainer! Nvm then :-p

I flagged the package out of date, but the commit I linked was flawed. Somehow the bin file now has windows line endings ... I fixed that here: https://git.sr.ht/~jmehne/mnemosyne-aur/commit/722745200346087cedc1528783617e5898c84e2d

Does the sound of the cards work for you? I can not hear anything, if i add sound. In the webinterface it does work.

Ta!

I disowned the package so that you can pick it up :) Have fun! :)

Sure!

@billypilgrim: do you want to become a new maintainer of Mnemosyne? I switched to Anki TBH, so I can give the maintainership to you :)

Ok, so somewhat embarrassingly I forgot that this wasn't my package and fixed up the PKGBUILD with the patch + new version and only noticed when I tried to push the changes. So @marmistrz, feel free to do: git pull https://github.com/alexdewar/mnemosyne master

...if you'd like my updated PKGBUILD.

Looks like my custom repo somehow produced a borked build of mnemosyne. Forcing it to rebuild the package fixed my issue. I then hit the issue described by Hal5000, and the urllib-related fix detailed there worked for me. Thanks for submitting an upstream patch!

Resolved it for me -- edited the file

/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/openSM2sync/server.py

by adding 

import urllib

and changing

        args = cgi.parse_qs(environ["QUERY_STRING"])

 in line 155 to:

        args = urllib.parse.parse_qs(environ["QUERY_STRING"])

Works for me again...

@Hal5000 can you wrap your console output in markdown code fences (triple backticks)? It's unreadable. (EDIT: Thank you!)

I can no longer start mnemosyne at all, whether the GUI client or the sync server. Both fail with the same error:

$ mnemosyne 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/mnemosyne", line 46, in <module>
    from mnemosyne.libmnemosyne import Mnemosyne
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mnemosyne'

Yesterdays update of python broke the ability to start a sync server, please see the error message below. Has anyone else faced this problem an can suggest a fix?

Thank you and best regards,

hal

Edit: Thank you for the pointer regardin the code wrap, jerebear!

I believe that arch should be any for this package, rather than x86_64. It doesn't seem to contain any architecture-specific code.

@lchimonji10 thanks!

Mnemosyne failed to start for me, with the console output listed here. Installing python-opengl fixed the initial warning. Installing python-pyqtwebengine fixed the crash error. Perhaps these should be added to optdepends and depends, respectively.

Updated PKGBUILD: https://gist.github.com/f0ea7000b121fe6bad6c6b50f18256ae

smls you can add me as a co-maintainer if you wish, I'm quite an active Mnemosyne user :)

Contacted the author about the crash issues and here’s the reply: “Perhaps changing the minor version of Qt5 helps. Anyway, 2.6-2 is not an official Mnemosyne version number, I guess it has been packaged by your specific Linux distribution. I would contact the packagers, as they will probably better be able to figure what exactly is going wrong in your distribution.”

With that being said, can someone please repackage Mnemosyne to use version 2.6-1 please. Maybe that’ll get rid of the problems. Thanks.

@Perico This looks like something that should be reported upstream. Have a look at https://mnemosyne-proj.org/getting_help.php for details. This is not an bug with the PKGBUILD.

mnemosyne 2.6 crashes as soon as I hit "add card". The rest of the program seems to work correctly. I paste the errors from the console. Thanks.

smls, can you either cherry-pick for the package or take the release from git until 2.6 is released? See https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mnemosyne-proj-users/FuxpQ4079w0

@marmistrz Fixed now. (The upstream package had received a small post-release bugfix update without a new version number.)

I get an integrity check fail
