Tauon v7.2.0 crashes on startup

[Scotty-Trees]

Greetings,

Congrats on a new release btw! Now I'm on a recently newly installed EndeavourOS Gnome setup on my Acer laptop, Tauon was installed from your AUR package a couple days ago by me and just now I updated to v7.2.0, but when I try to launch Tauon, it instantly crashes. Here's the error that shows when I run it from the terminal:

Yep, its a known Arch Linux bug. https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/74611

You can work around it by doing sudo pacman -S python-httpx

[Scotty-Trees]

Is that supposed to be another dependency that should be included with the AUR package of Tauon or no? Forgive my misunderstanding of the bug.

Btw, installing python-httpx pulls in a bunch of other python packages too, thankfully it's only 1.9MB, but Tauon sure is starting to get extra 'beefy'! :smile:

[scott@endeavourOS ~]$ sudo pacman -S python-httpx

:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n] 

EDIT: Once I install this package and it's additional dependencies, Tauon does launch successfully, so it's up to you if you want to mark this solved/closed or leave it open as a reminder about the python-httpx bug for now, you're call :wink:

[ManuLinares]

Hope they fix that dependency upstream

[Taiko2k]

It's a dependency of pylast. Adding httpx as a dependency of Tauon would fix it... But it's really arch linuxes job to fix their package, I didn't expect it would take them this long.

You're right about that dependency tree getting long, I should probably look at making pylast optional.

[Scotty-Trees]

I've been using Last.fm since like 2004. Having that support in my music software has always been a plus for me, but I don't know if most users use it or not. I think Last.fm was popular for a time, but it's hard to say if it's more or less popular today. In any case, as long as Tauon has Las.fm support either by default OR optional, is still a good thing for myself since I know python-pylast is for Last.fm interactions

[talhakerpicci]

Hey there. Just recently got this issue. Tauon does not start. Here is the output from the command line:

No previous window state
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  152 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  3 (X_GLXCreateContext)
  Value in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  159
  Current serial number in output stream:  160

I also have python-httpx installed.

Im on arch linux. Running latest our version of the Tauon. Anything i can do to fix this?

[Scotty-Trees]

Not a solution per se, but I just use the flatpak version, it just works and I don't have to worry about maintaining two dozen python packages from the Arch and AUR repos :laughing:

Tbh thats what im planning to do. It seems its just easier to deal with. Still would love to learn what is the solution for my case

[Taiko2k]

Im not sure what exactly causes it, but I may be able to fix it next release. If it is what I'm thinking, you should be able to fix it by resetting the app, to do so go to the user app data folder and delete the files state.p and state.p.backup, note this will delete all playlists etc. Let me know if that works

[ManuLinares]

Hey, why are you using this issue to post other issues.

[Taiko2k]

@ManuLinares Indeed this issue is unrelated to the original. Maybe they assumed it might have been.

@talhakerpicci I've made a new issue for this, let's continue there #768

[talhakerpicci]

Oh my bad. The error message seemed similar to the one i am having. Sorry for that

[talhakerpicci]

This worked. All playlists are gone tho as u said. Is there a way to backup playlists just in case for the next time?

[Taiko2k]

Is there a way to backup playlists just in case for the next time?

Hopefully once I get a fix out it wont happen again, but you can export playlists as a form of backup (say you have a heavily curated playlist you put effort into making and you want to back it up).

1. Make sure the playlist has a unique name
2. Right click the playlist tab and select Export...
3. Click Export (recommend selecting XSPF)

To import, drag and drop the playlist file into the main window. (Recommend importing all tracks once to another playlist first)
