Error when opening deck options

Anki Desktop
1

I’m running Fedora 35 and installed Anki 2.1.15 from the Fedora repository.

After clicking the gear icon to the right of any deck, and then clicking “Options” from the dropdown menu, I get this error:

Can anyone offer suggestions about how to fix this issue?

Thanks.

Thanks for the tip. It makes sense. Anki has a small team and can’t cater to every niche user. I appreciate what Damien does and his hands are probably full with higher priorities. Plus, it’s really the responsibility of the distro repo maintainers to sort this one out.

Having the same trouble on Ubuntu20.04, with versions Anki 2.1.15 (442df9d6) Python 3.10.6 Qt 5.15.3 PyQt 5.15.6
NB : I started Anki without any addons activated via the MAJ key.
Platform: Linux Flags: frz=False ao=True sv=1

I saw that others have the same issue (for example unable-to-open-shift-deck-options-to-find-settings-for-speedfocus-add-on 22773, who has this config Anki 2.1.49 (66689c91) Python 3.10.5 Qt 5.15.4 PyQt 5.15.7)

I suspect the problem is caused by python3.10, as it appeared when I switched from Ubuntu20.04 to Ubuntu22.04, and all the people reporting this issue have python3.10 (but different versions of Qt5 and Anki).
