Some issues after last update

Hi
I’m not good in English.
after the last big update that python updated to 3.11, there is so many things that don’t work same as before.
I have Qtile as my DE, when I logged in to it, my config didn’t load. I asked the developers of Qtile and it solved.
but now there is two problems that I have in my mind.
I use howdy, if you don’t know it’s like windows hello. not it doesn’t work. I got this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/lib/security/howdy/compare.py", line 17, in <module>
    import dlib
  File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/dlib/__init__.py", line 19, in <module>
    from _dlib_pybind11 import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_dlib_pybind11'
Unknown error: 1

emojis don’t show correctly. the rofi powermenu is working but some emojis don’t show correctly.
the Volume widget that changes the text when system volume level changes, always show the full emoji. I changed the config to show the percentage and that emoji both of them and I’m sure volume changes and there is no error.

here is the screenshot. you can see emoji issues. at the top of screen is the volume widget, and at the right side powermenu

Rebuild all your AUR packages, cleanbuild them to fix.

how should I do that?

yay howdy, when asked whether to clean build say “a” for all.

Example using nwg-shell:

Tried to install but it needs python2:

python2      2.7.18-9      76.79 MiB

I don’t want python2 on my system, so cannot proceed, somebody else may have some ideas.

Hello,

Did you try to reinstall python-dlib ?

from the AUR page it looks like howdy can use any of the pythons…
Must be some dep not rebuilded against current python…

there is no package named python-dlib in Arch repositories, so I uninstalled it with pip, and then installed it with this ways: pip install dlib, pip install dlib --user and sudo pip install dlib but none of them solved the problem.

No, because it’s in the AUR (like howdy) :

yay python-dlib                                  
2 aur/python-dlib-cuda 19.22-1 (+1 0.00) (Obsolète : 2023-03-23) 
    Dlib is a general purpose cross-platform C++ library designed using contract programming and modern C++ techniques.
1 aur/python-dlib 19.24-1 (+13 0.37) (Obsolète : 2023-05-04) 
    Dlib is a general purpose cross-platform C++ library designed using contract programming and modern C++ techniques.

I got this error

Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required:
python-dlib - exit status 4

Any solution??
I have another issue now!
two days ago I updated my system and after that some of my applications take to long to open.
Firefox, Thunar, nautilus, image viewer and…

Try removing xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
