Does anyone use qpaep in -current? It seems it is there since running it gives
Code:
There was an error importing needed libraries
Make sure you have qt5 and dbus-python installed
The error that occured was:
No module named PyQt5
So I'm going to have to try to build pyqt5. However, I have to use the pyqt5 from SBo using Eric's qt5 and qt5-webkit for current. I'm not sure if it will work. Am I doing the right thing or does anyone else have any more effective suggestions? Is there another way to get qpaeq to work?
Thanks cwizard, it's installed, now I am getting an error saying "no module named sip". Any idea what this could be about? I wonder if python is not the right version for what is needed.

Thanks CT, you know your suggestions are always valued and appreciated, but I still get the same error saying that there is no module called sip.
I am close to giving up, getting an EQ installed is a huge amount of hassle, I have also failed to get alsaequal to work in spite of disabling Pulse and trying the steps that previously worked on 14.2. I'm starting to think it's not possible.
Thanks to both of you. I tried ChuangTzu's link. Now I get something new:
Code:
lysander@lysultra-vi:~$ qpaeq
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, webgl, xcb.
Aborted
Reinstalling libxcb didn't make a difference. I found
No later than in the latest of his posts from blog, Mr. Hameleers (again) says:
Quote:
qt5: the toolkit for creating graphical interfaces
libxkbcommon: support library for Qt5, handling keyboard descriptions.
OpenAL: support library for Qt5, implementing a 3D audio API.
SDL_sound: support library for Qt5 handling the decoding of various sound file formats.
Apparently, those are the minimal dependencies to run a Qt5 based application, according with him. Food for thoughts?

Haha, those are only for things that took a lot of work or that are out of the ordinary. This is neither, though it is very useful to know, especially seeing as getting alsaequal to function properly is a massive pain.

The error that occurred was:
libicui18n.so.64: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Looks like the recent icu upgrade may have broken it. When I say 'broken', things still sound great, but I can't make any adjustments to qpaeq should I need to.
it's not uncommon for things depending on eric's qt builds to break, in fact every time there's an update to boost or icu, stuff will be unusable until a rebuild is done.
Consider installing eric's compatibility packages (icucompat and boostcompat) to mitigate the damage
