Which music player do you run under Linux?

1.36 is the latest stable version so no need to downgrade its the latest repro version

I got 1.4.0 a while ago via updates. It was bad. That’s why I rolled back.

Just checked 1.35 was updated to 1.40 and the same day flagged so it must of been that bad its gone back, as this is a new install

I still have it waiting for me:

I’m going to block it.

just installed lollypop-next-git from AUR working fine

Now is 1.4.0 gone for me. I only see 1.3.6. I do not know what’s happening :smiley:

Edit:

It was not gone and I install it and now Lollypop does not work again :confused:

I just tried launching lollypop also and it doesn’t work either. 1.4.0-1

Edit: What does this mean then?

[ricklinux@eos-xfce ~]$ lollypop
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/lollypop", line 45, in <module>

Edit: I know it’s related to python but?

It looks like it’s an issue with the libhandy version:

Well … can i fix it? I want my lollypop! :worried:

Edit: The only libhandy i see on here is for widgets for mobile phones. :thinking:

It looks like a quick and easy fix might be to install this libhandy 1 package from the AUR:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libhandy1/

Note that it states “can be installed alongside 0.0” so that’s good. I’d say it’s worth a try.

What about the version in the official repository? libhandy 0.0.13-2

It looks like Lollypop is looking for handy 1, and the official Arch package is 0.0.13.

Since the AUR package doesn’t require removing/replacing the regular version, it seems like that would be a quick (temporary) fix.

EDIT - do you mean you don’t have any libhandy package installed at all? In that case, yes, maybe the official package might work fine; I was assuming you had the official package already (note that I use neither Lollypop nor libhandy, so I’m not personally familiar with either).

Well it’s strange to me as python 3.8 is installed. So i don’t know?

Edit: There is no libhandy installed.

All I can tell you is, there’s a libhandy 1.0.0-1 in the Arch Staging repo.

https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?q=libhandy

There’s also the AUR package called libhandy1 1.0.0-2.

I don’t use Lollypop, so I can’t give you any more than that. Good luck.

Okay i tried libhandy and it didn’t launch. So i uninstalled it and installed libhandy1 from the AUR. Now it launches but the program looks a little different so they must have changed it a bit.
