IDJC Argument Parser Error

General system Applications
1

I am using IDJC on XFCE, but since the latest general update of today IDJC won’t start anymore. IDJC itself was not updated, so must be something with the general system I guess, python maybe ?

These are the errors:

Already tried to rebuild idjc ?

Yes, I did, but didn’t solve it.

In Manjaro it still works, but they have an older version of the kernel, so I don’t know if it is related to the kernel.

I have posted this problem at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/idjc/

And on the support pages of the developer:
https://sourceforge.net/p/idjc/support-requests/103/

The solution given to me was to start it in the terminal with idjc run, and then it starts.

If that works look in usr / share / applications if there is a desktop starter if thats also a gui copy it to .local share applications and edit the starter to start like that?

Sorry for late reply, yes, it works fine like that.

Couple of days ago a new version, 0.9.2, has been released, the additional run is not needed anymore, and besides that some other bugs have been fixed, I have already tested it and works fine for me. At the time of writing the aur has not the new update yet, so hopefully that doesn’t take too long.

I have no idea if I am the only IDJC user on this forum, I just wanted to share this.
