Arch Linux User Repository

@blackhole It's possible that this might be caused by a bug in qt/pyqt. As a temporary workaround, try opening pkgbrowser.conf in an editor, and set the following: [search] strings=python qt linux [bookmarks] names=python qt linux The actual values don't matter too much - just make sure each one has a space-separated list of at least two or more words.

OK, First I launch pkgbrowser without doing nothing more. Result: [audiolinux@archaudio ~]$ pkgbrowser LxQtGuiPlatformPlugin constructed WARNING: config key has an invalid type: search/strings WARNING: config key has an invalid type: bookmarks/names But if I launch and seek for some package inside pkgbrowser and close, the following time the result is this: [audiolinux@archaudio ~]$ pkgbrowser LxQtGuiPlatformPlugin constructed Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/pkgbrowser/main.py", line 9, in <module> sys.exit(app.run()) File "/usr/lib/pkgbrowser/pkgbrowser/app.py", line 114, in run app.window().setup() File "/usr/lib/pkgbrowser/pkgbrowser/app.py", line 59, in window self._window = Window() File "/usr/lib/pkgbrowser/pkgbrowser/window.py", line 229, in __init__ strings[:self.searchBox.maxCount()]) TypeError: QStringListModel.setStringList(list-of-str): argument 1 has unexpected type 'list' and the app will not start

@blackhole What exactly do you have to do in lxqt to produce the problem? What happens if you just try starting pkgbrowser in a console?

I have 2 pure archlinux systems. The problem is only on the one with lxqt-desktop from aur. Both are up to date (today!)

@blackhole I can't reproduce this. Are you using older versions of Qt/PyQt? Or maybe one of the derivative arch-linux distros?

The bug is always there. I have to start like this: bash -c "rm -r /home/user/.config/pkgbrowser; pkgbrowser"

@Dasonk Please read the existing comments - the workaround for this has already been provided.

When trying to run pkgbrowser I get the following: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/pkgbrowser/main.py", line 9, in <module> sys.exit(app.run()) File "/usr/lib/pkgbrowser/pkgbrowser/app.py", line 114, in run app.window().setup() File "/usr/lib/pkgbrowser/pkgbrowser/app.py", line 59, in window self._window = Window() File "/usr/lib/pkgbrowser/pkgbrowser/window.py", line 229, in __init__ strings[:self.searchBox.maxCount()]) TypeError: QStringListModel.setStringList(list-of-str): argument 1 has unexpected type 'list'

The packet needs to be rebuilt against the latest alpm bindings from updated Python packages. The package maintainer should increase the build number. If you get the error message "alpm not found" simply reinstall (rebuild) the package.

@kachelaqa Thanks. That was it.
