This is due to the usage of Python 3.12 which is not supported by pyotherside (yet, see https://github.com/thp/pyotherside/pull/131 etc).

As a workaround you can download https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Yubico/yubikey-manager-qt/main/ykman-gui/py/yubikey.py to ~/.local/lib/python3.12/site-packages

Thank you this also worked for me! However I had to add the file to /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/yubikey.py

This doesn't fix the issue for me. strace shows that yubikey.py is found and opened, but the GUI still shows no key.

This might be fixed with #363

the patch in #363 has so many unrelated changes. not sure how this happened. the minimal patch is:

My changes in #363 are not unrelated, your minimal patch just fixes the python code while still leaving a broken UI if you click in the wrong buttons etc. my patch also removes the functionality from the UI

the changes in .github/workflow/ seem unrelated still.

[apollo13]

It is not really unrelated. It removes a patch for macosx that was needed for the otp upload functionality which your and my patch removes.

FWIW yubikey-manager-qt is apparently deprecated since three months: https://github.com/Yubico/yubikey-manager-qt/commit/28dc02d11b081683b59d16d12043aaa3c0a6c75f

As such I have switched to the Yubico Authenticator which works well enough. So instead of trying to patch this in distros, they should probably get rid of this package and switch over to the authenticator.

[darix]

yeah. I already asked them to maybe archive the now deprecated projects via https://github.com/Yubico/yubikey-manager/issues/627
