OS 3.2.8 crash on Ubuntu 16.04 in keyboard response item #671

Closed alisdt closed 5 years ago

On a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04, I get the following when a keyboard response item runs:

This was installed from the PPA and is at version 3.2.8b1. Another identical computer with OpenSesame 3.2.7 does not have this problem.

This is due to the version of PsychoPy. If you update PsychoPy (e.g. through pip), you should be fine again. It's a bit annoying, I realize that. But I don't feel it's worth providing backwards compatibility with (substantially) outdated versions of PsychoPy, so I'm closing this issue. Thanks for reporting it though!

Apologies for this -- I had somehow missed the line in the install instructions directing me to pip install a number of packages (including PsychoPy). Hopefully this issue will point folks making the same mistake to the right solution!
