Bug: Missing library in default Ubuntu 22.04 installation. (Includes fix.) #11

Closed haxys closed 1 year ago

haxys commented 1 year ago

While attempting to install and use this application in Ubuntu, I followed the installation instructions, yet couldn't get the app to run. There was a complaint about a missing QT5 runtime. It turns out, libxcb-xinerama0 is not installed by default in 22.04; since this library was required by your application (whether because of the app itself or because of Python), the application wouldn't run without it.

To fix the issue, I simply did: sudo apt install libxcb-xinerama0 -y — after this, the app loaded fine.

I haven't had a chance to continue testing, but hope you can add this to the README.md to help future taggers using Ubuntu.

Ubuntu also has the package python3-pyqt5, which seems like the canon way to install pyqt5. did you try this?
