The pending update to ubuntu - 22.04 - upgrades python to 3.10. As the current version (non-beta) of OpenLP doesn't work with this version of python it might be advisable not to upgrade your ubuntu system if you are using OpenLP in your church. I had to switch back to ubuntu 21.10 when arch upgraded its python.

Would it not make sense to build Flatpak or Snap packages so you have more control over the Python version used and that way provide stability? Or is that a useless endeavour considering the integration with Open/LibreOffice and other components?
We're not far off releasing OpenLP 3.0, which works fine on Python 3.10. So trying to produce a Flatpak or Snap would just take more of our already limited time and delay the release even more.
I see Raoul, when I find the time, I could give it a try, making a flatpak or appimage. But only to hand over the recipe or yml, since only you the authors should make and distribute such packages.
But then probably for the 3.0 or the last 2.x version just to check how it all works.
@hyperl0gic that would be awesome!
