Unable to load all GUI requirements on ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS

[robertnurnberg]

After cloning the repo and (trying to) install the requirements, I get this error:

2024-11-18 11:26:57: Unable to load all GUI requirements: [ValueError('Namespace AyatanaAppIndicator3 not available'), ImportError("cannot import name 'Unpack' from 'typing_extensions' (/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/typing_extensions.py)")] - did you mean to run in `--no-gui` mode? If not, please run `python -m pip install -r requirements-gui.txt` or install from PyPI with GUI requirements included: `python -m pip install emailproxy[gui]`

Running python -m pip install -r requirements-gui.txt gives

This is mentioned in the readme already. From the specific error you've encountered, my guess is that installing gir1.2-ayatanaappindicator will fix things for you.

[robertnurnberg]

Thanks for your quick reply, much appreciated. I did a quick sudo apt install gir1.2-ayatanaappindicator3-0.1, but this changed nothing for the above error. Will take a closer look at the readme section you linked to now.

Edit: Also after

sudo apt install python3-gi python3-gi-cairo gir1.2-gtk-3.0 gir1.2-webkit2-4.1 
sudo apt install python3-pyqt5 python3-pyqt5.qtwebengine python3-pyqt5.qtwebchannel libqt5webkit5-dev
sudo apt install python3-webview    

as suggested here, the original error persists.

[robertnurnberg]

Right, so doing pip install --upgrade typing_extensions fixed this for me. Thanks for your help, and your overall work!

[robertnurnberg]

For completeness, here the output of my upgrading, in case you want to add the particular version of the package to your requirements file:

> pip install --upgrade typing_extensions

Thanks for following up – I'm glad this was resolved. I'll link to this issue along with the other ones at that part of the readme.
