Unabe to launch in Linux Mint 18.1 Cinnamon 64-bit

[Erkhyan]

Ever since I upgraded from 0.3.0 to 0.4.0, I've been unable to run Manuskript.

Running by double-clicking or from a shortcut gives nothing. Running from the Terminal gives this:

~/Apps/Manuskript $ ./manuskript
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manuskript", line 11, in <module>

Failed to execute script manuskript

All the listed required dependencies are installed and up to date.

Hi @Erkhyan, from the provided output I assume that you are running Manuskript for Linux.

Q1) Which GNU/Linux distribution are you using?
(E.g., Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, openSUSE, etc.)

Q2) Which method did you use to perform the upgrade?

Method 1) Using the manuskript-0.4.0-linux.zip file available on the Manuskript Download page?

Method 2) Using the instructions to Run Manuskript from Source Code on Linux?

If using Method 1 then all of the dependencies should be included in the zip file. In this case the reference from ./manuskript to files in /usr/local/... seems suspect.

If using Method 2 then be sure to use the bin/manuskript file to invoke manuskript.

[Erkhyan]

I'm using Linux Mint 18.1 Cinnamon 64-bit, which is based on Ubuntu 16.04.

I downloaded the manuskript-0.4.0-linux.zip file from the download page, then unzipped its contents into a previously emptied folder. Version 0.3.0 worked fine using that method, but not 0.4.0 on this machine.

[gedakc]

I'm running kubuntu 16.04 and if I unzip manuskript-0.4.0-linux.zip into a new folder, I am able to change into the manuskript folder and run ./manuskript.

Would you be able to try unzipping the *.zip into a brand new folder to see if that works?

[Erkhyan]

Brand new folder doesn’t seem to help. I'm getting the same exact error message.

By the way, I just tested running from source (download the manuskript-0.4.0.zip file then run bin/manuskript), and it works.

[gedakc]

'Glad to hear that you are able to run manuskript 0.4.0 from source code.

To try another test, I unzipped the manuskript-0.4.0-linux.zip file into a new folder on a Virtual Machine running Ubuntu 16.04. When I change into the manuskript folder and run ./manuskript I see the following:

user@ubuntu1604:~/manuskript$ ./manuskript 
bash: ./manuskript: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
user@ubuntu1604:~/manuskript$

From your experience and this recent test it does appear that there are some issues with the manuskript-0.4.0-linux.zip installer.

EDIT 2017-07-08: My bad on the Ubuntu 16.04 VM test. This VM is running 32 bit Ubuntu 16.04, not 64 bit which the manuskript-0.4.0-linux.zip is listed as on on the Download page.

When I test running manuskript-0.4.0-linux.zip on Kubuntu 16.04 (64 bit), it runs properly, though the Tools menu indicates Install PyEnchant to use spellcheck.

[martin3000]

Same here: trying to run "manuskript" from 0.4.0 package, I get the error

ImportError: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1: undefined symbol: drmGetDevices2

I have Ubuntu 17.04 with intel graphics. libGL is version 1.2.0

[gedakc]

@martin3000, the file manuskript-0.4.0-linux.zip is a frozen binary package created with PyInstaller. It seems that many issues arise when using a PyInstaller frozen binary package on multiple GNU/Linux distributions. It works on some, requires tweaks on some, and works not at all on others.

Until we have a better way to package Manuskript the best method is to run from source code: Either from a released source zip file (e.g., manuskript-0.4.0.zip), Or from the git repository source code (e.g., master or develop branch).

Can you try instead to run from source code?

Instructions can be found at Run Manuskript from Source Code on Linux.

[gedakc]

@martin3000, alternatively would you be able to try the most recent binary package I created named manuskript-0.4.0-1-deb9-linux64.zip?

[martin3000]

I tried your new zip and it's the same error.
I wonder why libGL is used anywhere, this is for GPU calculations in the graphic card.

[gedakc]

@martin3000, would you be able to try renaming manuskript/libdrm.so.2 to manuskript/libdrm.so.2.renamed and then running manuskript?

For example:

cd manuskript
mv libdrm.so.2 libdrm.so.2.renamed

The idea comes from this fman bug report 119.

[martin3000]

I deleted the following files and then it worked. I expected an installer to run but manuskript itself was running, not an installer.

Wow, that's a lot of files deleted. I suspect that at this point manuskript is effectively running from source code using the distro packages for python3, pyqt5, etc.

Out of curiousity, what do the following two commands return as output?

uname -a

python3 --version

[martin3000]

uname gives Linux L1 4.10.0-33-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 11 10:55:28 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Python version is 3.5.3

What do you mean with "running from source code"? People think this means they have to compile the whole thing but it looks like this is not the case?

[gedakc]

Interesting. If I understand correctly, Linux Mint 18.1 is based on Ubuntu 16.04.

My Kubuntu 16.04 shows:

$ uname -a
Linux kaby 4.4.0-93-generic #116-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 11 21:17:51 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ python3 --version
Python 3.5.2

So it appears that your Linux Mint 18.1 has more recent versions than my Kubuntu 16.04.

Have you only tried the binary packages of Manuskript?
Or have you also tried to Run Manuskript from Source Code on Linux?

[martin3000]

First I did not try "run from source code" because I thought I had to compile a bunch of .c Modules.
Then I downloaded https://github.com/olivierkes/manuskript/archive/master.zip and realized that there is nothing to compile. But it did not run because I don't have PyQt5 and I did not want to install it.

Btw: I don't have Linux Mint, I have Ubuntu 17.04
