The GUI application does not work when built from release tarball with python 3.12

[Jakuje]

• YubiKey Manager version: yubikey-manager-qt-1.2.5
• How was it installed?: RPM package built from official release tarball
• Operating system and version: Fedora
• YubiKey model and version: does not matter
• Bug description summary: The GUI application does not work when built from release tarball

The Fedora packages are not distributed as appimages, but as RPMs, that are built from the official release tarballs provided on https://developers.yubico.com/yubikey-manager-qt/Releases/ The package stopped working with Fedora 39 with exactly same code (likely some dependencies were updated).

The users report that the AppImage still keeps working for them (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2251082) so I wanted to figure out what is a difference in our build from the AppImage from our packages, but so far I noticed only the difference in python version, where Appimage forces 3.11, while Fedora 39 updated to Python 3.12, which might cause some issues with the bindings?

Running with --log-level DEBUG does not show any output nor failures.

I am not completely sure about the application architecture to be able to pinpoint the issue, but I suspect it is related to the python version. Is there a way to get some more debug logs or trace logs to see what is failing where?

Steps to reproduce

• Install yubikey-manager-qt package in Fedora and run it

Expected result

The application should show connected Yubikeys.

Actual results

No buttons are active, the app does not react to any inputs except for Help and About.

Other info

I do not know what more I can provide. Please, let me know what information would be helpful to debug this further.

I've been experiencing same, it's not working with Fedora 39

[Fenrihr]

I have the same issue in Fedora, packages installed from the Fedora repos

• ykman detects the keys
• yubikey-personalization-gui detects the keys
• ykman-gui don't work

This PR fixes it for me: thp/pyotherside#131

[Jakuje]

Thank you for the pointer @Aloxaf ! Filled Fedora bug to get this fixed: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2277686

[robsdudeson]

Ran into a similar issue on Manjaro(Arch). I was able to work around this by installing python-pyotherside-moment-git and then installing yubikey-manager-qt

[orjawell]

Can you run this command : ykman-gui --log-level DEBUG and send us the error.

[uaqben]

@orjawell There is no error..

Try this and redo the same command but with your yubikey inserted

It worked ok when I tested the package but it fails now in the same way,

@rathann Try downgrading yubikey-manager

sudo dnf downgrade python3-yubikey-manager

It seems this hit stable after I fixed it https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2024-8c7e2799df

[ricardobranco777]

@rathann Try downgrading yubikey-manager

sudo dnf downgrade python3-yubikey-manager

Now it works. I also ran sudo dnf versionlock add python3-yubikey-manager yubikey-manager to avoid any unwanted updates.

This was resolved in Fedora by backporting patches from #363. I updated all Fedoras, but I have only F40, which is where I verified this works:

https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2024-7fdb5f56e8

Closing. If the issue persists, please make sure you have the above version and open a new issue.

The same issue on Fedora 40 (Kinoite).

rpm -qa yubikey-manager-qt
yubikey-manager-qt-1.2.5-6.fc40.x86_64

[Jakuje]

Ugh ... wondering what I tested then. Now I can reproduce the issue. Let me have a better look.

[Jakuje]

Updating Fedora now with one more change that I reported in #363, which was preventing the GUI to start up. And tested locally that it works ok now.

Thank you! Now YubiKey Manager (ykman-gui) works in Fedora 40 (with the latest updates)

[Jakuje]

Thanks for verifying!
