NoSkE stopped working after Ubuntu update

[Mihail Mihailov]

Hello everybody,

I have (or rather had) an instance of No Sketch Engine running on an Ubuntu server. I could not find information on the version; it was the latest stable version of 2025 (Cristal 2.178.2). Everything worked until I upgraded from Ubuntu 24.04 LTS to 26.04 LTS.

After that it stopped working.

Our IT-admin says the problem should be in the version of Python. The new Ubuntu has Python 3.12 (and NoSkE works with 3.10), and error messages are coming, e.g. about the line

self.assertTrue(is_full_cql('[ws("test-n", "... (of|in|at) "%w"", ".") | ws("test-n", ""%w" (of|in|at) ...", ".")]'))

What shall I do? Any ideas?

Best,
