I'm afraid I'm going to have to orphan this package as the upstream maintainer has made katrain exceedingly difficult to package in a way that aligns with AUR best practices (at least, it's beyond my skill/ability to do so). Using pip to install packages within a pkgbuild is not the "proper" way to do it, but the setuptools workflow has been removed making pip the only method of installation AFAICT.

For now it looks like installing directly from upstream using pip and/or poetry is probably the best way to go until someone with more knowledge of how to package build systems like this is able to take over.

Just an update on kivymd, it looks like the katrain maintainer started work on bumping the kivymd version to 1.x but the branch has been idle since September. It would be a big help to the project to contribute if anyone has the skills or interest!

For now, the workaround unfortunately is to manually downgrade to python-kivymd 0.104.2/0.104.1.

Figured the sounds issue.

The INSTALL file mentions to install Kivy 2.0.0rc2 instead of whatever is was currently installed. However, it was mentioned here to use Kivy 2.0.0rc3

Yes, sdl2_mixer was also installed.

Do you have sdl2_mixer as well? They should be pulled in by python-kivy but I'm curious why you didnt get the message saying audio_sdl2 was loaded. sanderland might also have a better idea of what's going on.

Can you paste your debug log katrain -d after running the version you installed with pip3? I'd like to track down any dependencies I've missed if possible.

Thanks!

SDL2 is already installed.

extra/sdl2 2.0.12-3 (727.1 KiB 3.1 MiB) (Installed)

I installed using the following instead:

pip3 install -U katrain

It now works, except for audio, which I still need to figure out.

Can you try installing the sdl2 package and see if that helps? That error looks like it occurs when kivy tries to load audio files (using audio_sdl2) and cannot. I have the following in my log before it loads the user config, and audio works fine for me:

[INFO   ] [Audio       ] Providers: audio_sdl2 (audio_gstplayer, audio_ffpyplayer ignored)

It took a while for me to get Katrain 1.5 running on my Lenovo E14 with Manjaro. Audio still didn't work.

Upgraded to 1.6 few days ago, and it crashed when I tried to run it. Uninstalled and reinstalled, but still crashed.

Turned the debug switch on, katrain -d, and saw it was complaining about missing xclip, so I installed xclip. However, it still crashed when I ran the katrain with debugger on.

So I'm not sure if it's the issue with katrain or the install package.
