Latest upstream release tartube v2.3.367 doesn't have this problem
https://github.com/axcore/tartube/releases/tag/v2.3.367

Update downloader window

I did an additional test with tartube v2.3.042 from upstream (the version which we have packaged).

Upstream version works. The problem with our package is that an important step whilst initial tartube setup is skipped.
Atached a screenshot from upstream version v2.3.042 that shows that tartube want to update the downloader (youtube-dl). This step is not possible with our packaged version: this dialog doesn't even show up whilst initial tartube setup.

Upstream update downloader window

When the attempted update of the downloader (in upstream tartube version) is done, everything works fine.

Thank you Lloyd for reporting, and sturmvogel for the analysis

I tried manually installing tartube 2.3.367 from source. After creating a couple

of directories for Python 3.8, it seemed to install correctly. The command I used 

to install Tartube (as per the instructions) was python3 setup.py install I have 

the tartube executable in /usr/local/bin. However, when I start it from a terminal 

(Konsole) I get errors. I'm sorry, I can't see anywhere to attach error files...so 

I'm just showing the terminal output.

You have to delete your old tartube config under ./config as the upstream package will try to use your old config which is already borked with the non existing upgrade path.

I did run it without installation as described here:
https://github.com/axcore/tartube/blob/master/README.rst#5310-run-without-installing

I will try that. Thank you. I’ll let you know if it worked.

This is for Thierry (and Lloyd if he wants to use the Mageia package).

@Thierry: This applies to our actual packaged version v2.3.042-1
After first start of tartube the settings.json file gets created. I found the relevant part in it which causes this problem.

Not working:
58 "ytdl_bin": "youtube-dl",
59 "ytdl_path_default": "/usr/bin/youtube-dl",
60 "ytdl_path": "/usr/bin/youtube-dl",
61 "ytdl_update_dict": {
62     "ytdl_update_disabled": []
63 },
64 "ytdl_update_list": [
65     "ytdl_update_disabled"
66 ],
67 "ytdl_update_current": "ytdl_update_default_path",



if i change line 67 to 
67 "ytdl_update_current": "ytdl_update_disabled",

everthing works fine.

I'm not sure if you can achive this within the spec file or how it could be done that the setting file get changed to this working version.

I don't know exactly what I did, but I deleted pretty much everything tartube-related. Just now, I installed tartube-2.3.332.rpm. When I clicked on "about", it came up as 2.3.367 and system preferences is now working!

Where do you have tartube-2.3.332.rpm from? It's no Mageia package. That fits to my findings that upstream versions work. We have to disable additional download of ressources whilst the application is run. There the problems arise, because maybe the  environment variable "TARTUBE_PKG_STRICT=1" from upstream doesn't properly disable the download function, so that packages will brake.

I think I may have gotten tartube-2.3.332 from rpmfind.net or sourceforge. At any rate, it is working now. I'm hoping that tartube-2.3.367 makes it into Mageia 9.

I pushed tartube-2.3.367-1.mga9 to Cauldron

If it works fine for you, we can backport it to mga8 as an update

On a freshly updated Cauldron system tartube-2.3.367-1.mga9 wont start at all. Error:
$ tartube

After manual installation of python3-matplotlib-gtk3-3.3.3-3.mga9 tartube starts. But why is this python lib a dependency for tartube?

The originial problem that System Preferences won't open is solved with tartube-2.3.367-1.mga9

> But why is this python lib a dependency for tartube?

My bad. It is a dependency according github page. But we are missing it in our cauldron tartube package.

(In reply to Thierry Vignaud from comment #15)

That would be good...:-)

Thank you!

So, I just updated my Mageia 8 installation to Cauldron. After creating a couple of directories that said were missing (by the tartube installation script) and updating and installing more dependencies...I'm happy to say that tartube-2.3.367.mga9 is working!

I honestly can't rember if I installed Tartube from the RPM or whether I installed it from source code. It might have been a combination of both.

Good that it works for you now. But to be able to build a properly working package for all people we need to be precise as possible. Mixing packages/configurations will propably lead to an unsatisfactory result for others who will install this package.

> and installing more dependencies...

Can you tell at least if you also had to install python3-matplotlib-gtk3-3.3.3-3.mga9 to get tartube running or was it pulled in as dependency?

I have setup a completely new cauldron VB (Plasma 64bit) for testing purposes.

tartube-2.3.367-1.mga9 doesn't start because of a missing dependency.

$ tartube
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/tartube", line 40, in <module>
    import mainapp
  File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/tartube/mainapp.py", line 96, in <module>

    from matplotlib.backends.backend_gtk3agg import FigureCanvasGTK3Agg
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'matplotlib.backends.backend_gtk3agg'

The packet python3-matplotlib-gtk3-3.3.3-3.mga9 needs to be added as dependency. After that everything works fine including all menues.

Fixed in tartube-2.3.367-2.mga9

Fresh test (deleted settings and deps before):

- tartube-2.3.367-2.mga9 installs without problems
- all deps get pulled in
- tartube opens
- all settings are accessible, so the originial problem is solved

Plasma MGA9 64bit OK

I think I may have found another bug in Tartube 2.3.367

Under Edit->System Preferences->Windows->Websites, there are four checkboxes. Three of them work when I click OK. The one that does NOT work. The checkbox for "ignore YouTube age-restriction errors" does not stay checked. As soon as I hit OK, the window disappears, as expected. Re-opening the window shows that particular box is unchecked.

We stopped supporting Mageia 8 almost 8 months ago

That means we also stopped fixing Mageia 8 bugs and that this bug report needs to be closed, regardless of whether it was fixed for Mageia 8 or not.

If this particular bug did not get fixed for Mageia 8, then we do regret that.

If this issue is still present in Mageia 9 or cauldron, then please reopen this report, write a comment and adjust the "Version:" field.
