kzembower commented 7 months ago

Describe the bug When I try to run linux-show-player on Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS, I get the error:

Additional context Despite the closing of issue https://github.com/FrancescoCeruti/linux-show-player/issues/281, I still experience this problem.

Please let me know if this problem can be easily solved by switching to another version of python3 (3.11?) or another easy fix.

Thanks for looking into this issue, and a special thanks to Francesco for creating and maintaining linux-show-player. I use it to play sound cues during lectures I present.

The fix is included with the 0.5.3 release of Linux Show Player, so it is not surprising you're still suffering from it. It is up to the repository maintainers of Ubuntu to make this available via the Ubuntu software package repositories, not us.

There has been a ticket open on Ubuntu's bug report system for over a year asking for the newer version to be provided, but no joy thus far. (If you have an UbuntuOne login, feel free to indicate on that page that the bug affects you too.)

The AppImage has its own problems, and the FlatPaks contain the upcoming 0.6 version, so if you wish to continue using Linux Show Player 0.5, than you will need to build and install from source.

Duplicate of #238, #245, #250, #261

Thank you so much for your quick and complete response.

I indicated on the UbuntuOne page that this affects me to.

I'm comfortable building from source, so I'll explore that.

Thanks, again, and sorry for not noticing all the other duplicates of this issue.
