Error after installing Mnemosyne on Xubuntu

[Arvin Mathur]

Hey,

I just installed Mnemosyne on Xubuntu 14.04 and I got the following message:

Traceback (innermost last):

ImportError: cannot import name QtSql

[Peter Bienstman]

You're missing the dependency of the QtSql module. If you install an older version of Mnemosyne using the Ubuntu package manager, it will pull in most of the dependencies (apart from python-webob). Then, you can more easily upgrade to 2.3 from source.

Good luck!

I have the same problem. Thing is, I already had 1.3 installed. After getting this error I uninstalled 1.3 and tried again. I then tried reinstalling 1.3, but now I get the same error when I try to run it as well.

You mean Mnemosyne 2.3 instead of 1.3, right?

Anyway, if you get the error 'ImportError: cannot import name QtSql', it means Qt it not installed properly.

If you install an older version of Mnemosyne (at least 2.x) using the Ubuntu package manager, it will pull in most of the dependencies (apart from python-webob). If there is still a problem with that, than it's best to ask on an Ubunntu list.

Then, you can more easily upgrade to 2.3.1 from source after installing python-webob.

Good luck!

Peter
