Update to wxpython 4.1.1 breaks UI client

[SeaOrb]

Hi, I'm on Arch and yesterday the python-wxpython package updated from version 4.0.7.2 to 4.1.1 and it breaks the UI client. Downgrading to 4.0.7.2 fixes it.

This is what I could get from the terminal after the update to 4.1.1:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/nuxhash-gui", line 33, in <module>
sys.exit(load_entry_point('nuxhash==1.0.0b2', 'console_scripts', 'nuxhash-gui')())

Thanks!

I could not install it in manjaro how did you manage it?

[MatthewRalston]

I'm having the same issue, also on Arch, installed the source code via nuxhash-git on the AUR.

I tried to downgrade the package with no luck. We need to discover which version is compatible preferably they could provide us a requirements file so we can create a conda environment to run the app.

same problem in Arch. GUI crashes with infinite output to the terminal

Im tempted to try to fix it.

[thetuxinator]

Maybe a fork contains a fix already, didn't have time to checkout

I think he goes to a fixed older wxpython: https://github.com/folkien/nuxhash/commits/master

I dont see one. I did a test on a VM and updated the code. I was able to load the GUI and no longer see the deprecation error.

jason@kubuntu:~/IdeaProjects/nuxhash$ nuxhash-gui

(nuxhash-gui:12822): Gtk-WARNING **: 00:08:24.531: Negative content width -13 (allocation 1, extents 7x7) while allocating gadget (node button, owner GtkButton)

Running on my other machine without the code update, it does this but still loads the gui.

jason@gucci:~/.config$ nuxhash-gui
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/wx/lib/pubsub/init.py:23: wxPyDeprecationWarning: wx.lib.pubsub has been deprecated, plese migrate your code to use pypubsub, available on PyPI.
warnings.warn('wx.lib.pubsub has been deprecated, plese migrate your '

Im gonna test on my main machine and see what happens.

I opened a pull request and updated the file. I can now load the gui on 4.1.1

Check your mining.py file and make sure you have line 91 that looks like this

bottomSizer.Add(self._StartStop, wx.SizerFlags().Center())

Then you have to uninstall the nuxhash and reinstall.

You can also try my fork as it has all the updates I made.

You are my hero! Your fork works!

Glad to hear it :)

@idkau I pinged AUR maintainer to switch to your fork. Hopefully that's okay.

Yes, that is fine with me.
