OpenLP doesn't work with Ubuntu 22.02
Hi, OpenLP doesn't work on Ubuntu 22.02.
I tried to download and install the newest version I could find (2.9.5.-1-all), but it crashed.
Any suggestions?

I found the solution here: https://forums.openlp.org/discussion/5813/openlp-not-working-on-linux-mint-21-ubuntu-22-04# It works for me.
I can't find there a solution, what do you mean?
They mean go here:

download the 2.9.5-1 version and install that. Just reinstalled on my Ubuntu 22 system and it works well.
To install in Ubuntu: apt install ./openlp_2.9.5.-1_all
I startet this thread because openlp_2.9.5.-1_all crashes on my system. (Ubuntu 22.04)
It looks like that bug might have been fixed since 2.9.5, as I cannot find the line of code referenced in your error message. I do remember seeing something like that, and I may have fixed it.
So what can I do?
@Theophilus Another version of OpenLP will be released soon that will hopefully resolve this issue.
Now I installed 3.0.0.0-1. But I doesn't work either. :-(

I tried to install openlp in an fresh installation of xubuntu 22.04 in a virtual machine.
The same problem:

@Theophilus did you do any of the steps in this forum post?
There is a dependency issue with installing 3.0+ version of open LP on the 22.04 LTS version of Ubuntu-based distributions. The dependency in question is python3-websockets. The dependency needed is version 10+; however, the version shipped with 22.04 is version 9. You can manually install the 22.10 version of the package here: https://packages.ubuntu.com/kinetic/python3-websockets by clicking on the "all" link and selecting a download source.
Once downloaded, you can install it by using 'sudo dpkg -i [filename]' command.
Once python3-websockits is installed, you can download version 3 of Openlp from https://get.openlp.org/ and install it using the dpkg command.
This is a workaround, but it seems to work for now.
Finally it works. Thank you so much!
I am happy to help!
I upgraded to Ubuntu 22.10 and it ships with that version of python3-websockets. Then OpenLP 3.0.1 installed successfully and seems to work fine (for now). I'll give it a good workout on Wednesday at Kids' Club.
I was going to try that after I discovered the dependency issue. But since it was one library with no dependencies, I figured the best option, in my use case, was to use the new library in the LTS version of Ubuntu. It is good to know that 22.10 works as an alternative.
@raoul @ninjakiwi Is there a feature in python3-websockets version 10 that is needed for the functionality of OpenLP, or will it work with version 9? Is this dependency something that can be resolved for compatibility with the LTS version of Ubuntu? If not can you include the current version 10 in the OpenLP repository so that it can be installed without this workaround?
@AndrewCCSGM version 9 of the websockets is broken, and no, we're not going to ship a package that we don't maintain. We have very little time as it is.
@AndrewCCSGM Thank you so much. With your post, I was able to update to OpenLP 3.0.1 on my Linux Mint machine. And it works!
God bless you and all the devs of this wonderful software!
