PyQt5 Charts no longer available in the Arch Linux Repo

[DTRGator]

Apologies, for my tardiness :D. I was trying to document the procedure to install it on Arch Linux. It seems they removed pyqt5.qtchart equivalent from the Arch [extra] repos. I tried using the PyQtCharts through the pip command but it refused to work.

It would be to much to ask you to port it to Qt6. I would try and do it myself, but I dont know where to start. If you couls point me to the right direction I would be thankful :).

Link to the Arch Package : https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/python-pyqt5-chart/

I'll try and take a look into it. Can you share any of the instructions you use so far for Arch?

Sure, All I did was activate the ec_sys module, this is just a guess as to why it is needed, to read or write to the ec values.

Secure Boot must be turned off.

• Create a file called acpi_ec.conf (it can be named anything.) in /etc/modprobe.d/acpi_ec.conf

with the contents

modprobe ec_sys write_support=1.

• Install acpi_ec from the Git repo (dkms must be installed as a prerequisite)

• install the dependencies python-pyqt5-charts python-pyqt5

• Optionally install msr-tools from the ArchLinux repo msr-tools and pip install git+https://github.com/georgewhewell/undervolt.git

Following the rest of your instructions made it work in my case.

I hope this helps.
