Re: Frescobaldi 3.0 CRASHES

[Blöchl Bernhard]

I am just jumping into that thread and have not read the rest of the 
conversation.
I did not get to run frescobaldi  3.0.0 on my Linux mate 17.04, 
python-ly did not work which version ever i tried. I installed Linux 
mint 18.2 Sonja 64 bit a couple of weeks ago and gave frescobaldi 3.0.0 
another try and got it to work after lots of updates of libraries to the 
python3 (!) versions. As far as I remember
python3-pyQt5 (from repository?)
python 3-ly 0.9.3-1 from https://python.org/pypi/python-ly.tar.gz (as I 
remember (?) had to install pypi as well - if it is not necessary it is 
not wrong)
Then got the message popplerqt5 cannot load, the error message 
popplerqt5 is misleading as python3-poppler-qt5 is needed
installed python3-poppler-qt5 0.2.4.2-1build1 from repository

The warnings and error messages are misleding as often it is not 
mentioned explicitly that the python3 version is needed. <Mostly there 
are different versions and builds in the repository. I needed some time 
to figure that out. I recommend to make this messages more specific, 
that could smoothen the installation process.

At least frescobaldi was starting an running for my needs.

If I try to import from "Vorlage", in english eventually "template" ? 
frescobaldi crashes -> PyQt5.QtSvg. I can use frescobaldi as long as iI 
do not use that menu item. Maybe some more issues arise while using?

Regards
