Re: Next round on frescobaldi dependencies

[bb]

As I remarked, I could not install frescobaldi 3.0 on ubuntu version 17 (as I remember that is true for 16 as well).
I had success with ubuntu 18.2 brands (and higher). I sent some mails to frescobaldi and the lilypond list. i.e see lilypond list from 09.12.2017 10:21.
As I can reconstruct out of that, the crucial program was
python3-poppler-qt5
and I posted "the error message popplerqt5 is misleading as python3-poppler-qt5 is needed".
As i think to remember that was not offered in the repository older than ubuntu version 18? (Cannot check that, do actually not have any version older than 18.2 runing. May be it was aded in the meantime?) 


In my posting mentioned above I reported a frescobaldi crash  in using the template function of the menu, a problem with PyQt5.QtSvg. After some distro updates this is not longer true! A positive message!

As I mailed frequently to frescobaldi and to the lilypond mail list it was/is definitely impossible for me to get frescobaldi 3.0 to work with any ubuntu 17 version and any linux brand based on ubuntu 17! I tried to install frescobaldi 3.0 multiple times on that version(s), especially following some large updates - without success and gave up at least.

I work with different linuxes since about 40 years and was a fluent programmer in my active live. I recommend(ed) frescobaldi to make the error messages more specific to tell the user which version (2,3,4 or 9.5 or whatever) of something is needed. The python install file of frescobaldi knows (hopefully), which version of s
omething is missing.

I got running frescobaldi on version 18 up and do not longer use any ubuntu 17 based version or brand. I erased ubuntu studio (I think based on ubuntu 17.04?). Eventually I give a new release of ubunto studio based on an ubuntu 18 another try. Anybody can setup and install the required programs of ubuntu studio by hand to any linux version.

I recommand anybody not to waste any time with ubuntu 17 and frescobaldi 3.0. The frescobaldi version in the distribution repository  of 17 (I think 2.20.0?) is working without any problem.

Hello everybody,

 

just to let you know: After gathering from the recent thread that the situation with frescobaldi dependencies and conflicting versions of python would be easier to handle with Ubuntu 17, I tried getting it to work on a pristine 17.10 live system – unsucessfully, with another weird bug (?) preventing to build sip from source. Here’s all the details: https://github.com/wbsoft/python-poppler-qt5/issues/14#issuecomment-353697574

 

Best, Simon
