Can't open screenpen

[mhalano]

Hi,

I'm trying to open the screenpen but I get this error message instead of the window to select the screen. I'm using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with X11 and Python 3.

Hi @mhalano,

Qt requires to have mentioned module installed in your system. Please install it:

sudo apt-get install appmenu-gtk2-module appmenu-gtk3-module

(more: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1074926/failed-to-load-module-appmenu-gtk-module-canberra-gtk-module)

Let me know if it helps.

Cheers, Robert

Hi @rsusik,

I installed both packages as requested and still doesn't work. Any more tips?

[mhalano]

The updated error after install both packages and canberra mentioned in the link. I think it looks pretty the same.

[rsusik]

Thanks, I fixed it now. Please update the program and let me know if it works now on your side:

pip install screenpen==0.1.12

[mhalano]

I think it doesn't work yet.

[rsusik]

Please check again: pip install screenpen==0.1.13

[mhalano]

Thanks. Now opens correctly. Doesn't write in the screen, but at least open. :) I will open a new bug to keep separation by problem. Thank you!

[rsusik]

Thanks!

I'm having a similar issue in 0.1.16 even after installing the packages mentioned above. Any advice?

[rsusik]

It will not work with PySide. Install PyQt5:

pip install PyQt5 PyQt5-Qt5 PyQt5-sip

[MellowKyler]

Thanks for the reply. I installed those packages and restarted my computer to be extra sure, but I'm still getting the same error. Sorry if I'm making another basic mistake.

Can you provide me with the output from pip freeze, uname -a, and python -V so I can reproduce your error?

Hi, thanks. I was able to reproduce the error. It looks like there is a conflict between PyQt and PySide. Please remove PySide6, and the conflict should be resolved:

pip uninstall PySide6

It looks like PySide should not be installed alongside the PyQt. Hopefully, it helps. I will handle this case in the next version, but currently, I'm snowed under with other work.

[MellowKyler]

This worked! Thanks so much for taking the time to help me out while you're busy. :)

[rsusik]

Thanks for confirming :)
