Arch Linux User Repository

@daniel_shub I had tried to install psychopy using pip a long while ago and was unsuccessful so that might be why psychopy was in that directory. I uninstalled it using pip and the package manager. Rebooted, made sure there were no traces left, and installed it via the package manager and it's starting up fine. I'm getting a different error now when I try to run an experiment but I'll post this problem on the discourse forums. Thanks for you help.

@bassam It looks like psychopy is running from and calling a version of python installed in /home/bassam/.local/. Unless you did something tricky, that is not the packaged version. It looks like there is some issue with gitlab and not being authorized. I do not know if this is because you installed it in .local, there is something broken in your install, or if there is something about your configuration. Regardless, I do not think it is this package that is causing the problem.

@daniel_shub I do get an audio warning but the same warning is there in the windows log.

1.3025  WARNING     We strongly recommend you activate the PTB sound engine in PsychoPy prefs as the preferred audio engine. Its timing is vastly superior. Your prefs are currently set to use ['sounddevice', 'PTB', 'pyo', 'pygame'] (in that order).

There seem to be other errors present however. The full log: https://pastebin.com/LCvUakwC

Unfortunately I'm a novice linux user so I'll need to look into how to create an Arch chroot first.

@bassam I get those messages also, but psychopy works fine for me. Is there anything relevant in the .psychopy3/last_app_load.log? I wonder if it is related to the port audio changes or maybe the X11 setup. I do not have a way to test the package on Manjaro. Can you create a clean Arch chroot and try it in that container?

My psychopy stopped starting a couple of days ago, so I uninstalled/reinstalled it from the package manager in Manjaro. When I type psychopy in terminal the welcome screen almost becomes fully visible, then it disappears and I'm back at the terminal. This is what shows up in the terminal:

06:30:54 AM: Debug: Adding duplicate image handler for 'Windows bitmap file'
06:30:54 AM: Debug: Adding duplicate image handler for 'Windows bitmap file'
06:30:54 AM: Debug: Adding duplicate image handler for 'Windows bitmap file'

Also want to add that I never got it to actually run an experiment file in linux but things are working fine in Windows 10.

Anyway to fix this?

@TheGoliath It now builds in a clean chroot. I deleted the "packaging" directory. I am not sure that is the right thing to do, but the resulting package passes most of the package tests with pytest==4.0.

please add the missing python-questplus, python-opencv-python, python-glfw dependencies

The package does not run for me. My guess is questplus needs to be packaged and added as a dependency.

So I manually installed the missing python-bidi just to find out that psychopy crashes with the following exception:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I made sure to install everything wxWidgets-related to no avail. Any idea?
