Problem with new version of python3.9 #154

Closed tygroo closed 2 years ago

tygroo commented 2 years ago

Hello, I updated my raspberry pi and since then I have problems launching video_looper. Indeed, it seems that python 3 has been updated and that since then, the pygame library no longer works as expected.

I have the error: " Current thread 0x76f0b7e0 (most recent call first): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/Adafruit_Video_Looper-1.0.11-py3.9.egg/Adafruit_Video_Looper/video_looper.py", line 78 in init File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/Adafruit_Video_Looper-1.0.11-py3.9.egg/Adafruit_Video_Looper/video_looper.py", line 471 in File "/usr/lib/python3.9/runpy.py", line 87 in _run_code File "/usr/lib/python3.9/runpy.py", line 197 in _run_module_as_main " There seems to be a problem with pygame. python 3.9.2 pygame 1.9.6+dfsg-4+b1 How can I fix the situation? Thank you for your help.

Maybe try to update pygame to the latest version. pip3 install --upgrade pygame Probably run it with sudo and also without. And is there more output in the supervisor logs?

Hello, I tried to install this way with and without "sudo" but I still have the problem, but the error has changed. Here are the logs from the stdout file: pygame 2.1.2 (SDL 2.0.14, Python 3.9.2) Hello from the pygame community. https://www.pygame.org/contribute.html Starting Adafruit Video Looper. The path /dev/dri/ cannot be opened or is not available The path /dev/dri/ cannot be opened or is not available

And the logs of stderr file : pygame.error: No available video device error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set in the environment. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.9/runpy.py", line 197, in _run_module_as_main return _run_code(code, main_globals, None, File "/usr/lib/python3.9/runpy.py", line 87, in _run_code exec(code, run_globals) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/Adafruit_Video_Looper-1.0.11-py3.9.egg/Adafruit_Video_Looper/video_looper.py", line 471, in <module> File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/Adafruit_Video_Looper-1.0.11-py3.9.egg/Adafruit_Video_Looper/video_looper.py", line 75, in __init__ pygame.error: No available video device

I'm on a raspberry pi. uname -a => Linux raspipetitetv 5.15.53-v7+ #1572 SMP Wed Jul 13 17:13:02 BST 2022 armv7l GNU/Linux

What I understand is that I lack a video output interface. However, the hdmi port is functional.

Did you install the Legacy version of Raspberry Pi OS Lite?

tygroo commented 2 years ago

Hello, Yes I installed the legacy version of raspberry pi os lite. The problem happened after an sudo apt update then an sudo apt upgrade. I have since changed my sourcelist to upgrade to bullseye. But I have the same problems. Maybe I should downgrade my version of python3 (and pygame because it's the problem) but I'm not sure how to proceed.

Hello, Finally, despite the fact that I didn't want to physically touch the raspberries, I reinstalled a "legacy" buster version of Raspberry pi OS. Everything works as before. And I will no longer update my raspberry. Thank you for your help.
