[Edubuntu-bugs] [Bug 1825722] Re: Anki fails to start because QWebEngineView is not defined (missing import)
This worked for me, thanks! Anyway, I would like to point out that this is a problem upstream and it would be nice to port the fix to Debian. I have emailed the maintainer a couple of times because of this issue but never got an answer. It would safe to consider upstream to be unmaintained at this point, I guess. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Edubuntu Bugsquad, which is subscribed to anki in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1825722 Title: Anki fails to start because QWebEngineView is not defined (missing import) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/anki/+bug/1825722/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~edubuntu-bugs Post to : edubuntu-bugs@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~edubuntu-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

SRU template applied. ** Changed in: anki (Ubuntu Eoan) Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed ** Description changed: + [Impact] + + Due to changes in PyQt (according to Arch), the Anki application fails + to run because library imports have been altered in a way that causes + the application to not execute and start under any circumstances. + + This makes the application as is currently unusable. + + + [Test Case] + + (1) Install Ubuntu Disco or Ubuntu Eoan. + + (2) Install anki from repositories as-is (2.1.8+dfsg-1) + + (3) Attempt to run `anki` on command line, you get the traceback stated + in the original description. + + (4) Use the PPA or the version in the repos/proposed. + + (5) Anki properly runs without error and starts up as expected. + + + [Regression Potential] + + From a code perspective, the only thing we do is we pull in all the + libraries and classes from PyQt5.QtWebEngineWidgets.

[Edubuntu-bugs] [Bug 1825722] Re: Anki fails to start because QWebEngineView is not defined (missing import)
I did my testing locally in an Eoan and a Disco VM, and this fix does indeed work. Further, I dug into the imports, we would need to import a long string of plugin bits to import each bit individually, so since we're past 3 or 4 imports at that point it makes sense and is easier to just import * to import the entire set of QtWeb bits that the program is going to use. I've taken the patch and adjusted it to be compliant with SRU requirements and Packaging requirements. I will upload this to Eoan and prep the SRU as well. ** Changed in: anki (Ubuntu Disco) Importance: Medium => High ** Changed in: anki (Ubuntu Eoan) Importance: Medium => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Edubuntu Bugsquad, which is subscribed to anki in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1825722 Title: Anki fails to start because QWebEngineView is not defined (missing import) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/anki/+bug/1825722/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~edubuntu-bugs Post to : edubuntu-bugs@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~edubuntu-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

To those affected, there are Disco and Eoan builds here for testing: https://launchpad.net/~teward/+archive/ubuntu/anki-1825722 They include the aforementioned patch with a few tweaks to be Debian packaging compatible. They should be testable within an hour, please test the packages to see if this solves the issue on Disco and Eoan.
