Python SyntaxError

[Kentaree]

I'm having various issues running this on Linux Mint, including the tray app but also the service itself seems to fail:

$ journalctl --user -b -f -u arctis-manager

The version of python I'm running is 3.11.11:

$ python -V
Python 3.11.11

I've tried uninstalling and re-installing which also hasn't helped. If I need to provide any more info, please let me know

Hello @Kentaree,

are you using an up-to-date version of Linux Mint? I'd try to install a VM and try to reproduce the error. Syntax seems to be correct though, it is strange that it complains about a missing parenthesis.

Hi @elegos,

I recently updated to the very latest version:

$ inxi -Sxxx
System:
  Host: desktop-linux Kernel: 6.8.0-52-generic arch: x86_64 bits: 64
    compiler: gcc v: 13.3.0 clocksource: tsc
  Desktop: Cinnamon v: 6.4.6 tk: GTK v: 3.24.41 wm: Muffin v: 6.4.1 vt: 7
    dm: LightDM v: 1.30.0 Distro: Linux Mint 22.1 Xia base: Ubuntu 24.04 noble

I'm also confused by the syntax error, I've opened up the code in an IDE and it doesn't flag anything wrong with it. Maybe a locale issue? This is what I get as output for that:

LANG=en_IE.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_IE:en

Hello @Kentaree

I've freshly installed Linux Mint 22 on a virtual machine and attached the Arctis device. It is working as expected, so I can't reproduce the problem, unfortunately :(

P.S.
The distro comes with Python 3.12, so I changed the Pipfile accordingly, and I also had to manually install libxcb-cursor0, which apparently is a requirement for the PyQt6 library not handled with the library itself.

I don't think it's a LOCALE issue (how could it possibly be, being a python interpreter error?)
