When you update Python, you need to rebuild all python AUR packages, including Ulauncher.

@C.Schmidpeter I also got that error, but the pinned comment shows how to fix it. I did a clean build, and that fixed it for me. My guess is your python was updated too, and ulauncher only requires a rebuild now

Starting ulauncher fails since system update (and ulauncher reinstall)

$ulauncher                                                                                               
Traceback (most recent call last):

@bnjbvr, @arekan127, @hex32211 @JohnPiers I think you all have been having issues with a how Arch handles Python upgrades, which is not an issue created by Ulauncher, but it's pinned here: https://github.com/Ulauncher/Ulauncher/issues/930

After a full system upgrade ulauncher fails to start with the following error: ''' Could not load image /usr/share/ulauncher/media/gear.svg. E: gdk-pixbuf-error-quark: Couldn’t recognise the image file format for file “/usr/share/ulauncher/media/gear.svg . . .

I've also been struggling with Ulauncher for about two weeks now. managed to get it sorted after a huge mission and then this morning there was a bump in version and it installed without any problems and Ulauncher not giving problems and working as expected.

python setup.py > python3.11 setup.py in PKGBUILD workaround works, but this is really strange why python setup.py uses lib directory of 3.10

bnjbvr commented on 2023-05-08 20:40 (UTC)

Hi! This was broken, as of today, on my machine: turns out for some reason, the lib is installed in /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages, when my python interpreter is on version 3.11, so the package couldn't be found. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling this, and it didn't help unfortunately; not sure what I'm doing wrong.

A workaround I've found was to force the PROJECT_ROOT_DIRECTORY variable to the above directory in the /usr/bin/ulauncher script.

@friday I followed the instructions from that link, i.e., paru -S ulauncher --rebuild, but I still get the same error. I removed the AUR package, clone the repo and compiled from there, but still get the same error.
