Arch Linux User Repository

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.

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.
