Hello,
in case of 9.7 and 9.8 Ubuntu versions we are facing with the following issue during salome start up:
File "/opt/Salome/SALOME-9.8.0-UB20.04/BINARIES-UB20.04/GUI/lib/python3.8/site-packages/salome/salome_pluginsmanager.py", line 94, in <module>
import SalomePyQt
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sip'
As I found on several forums, the sip module can be imported as part of PyQt5(6),
and indeed
from PyQt5 import sip
works very well in salome enviroment so the sip module is available (also for PyQt6).
So is there any workaround to avoid this import error? The result of that error, is that none of the salome plugins are imported.
(just a side note, this error does not occure when using the universal binary version, however the universal binary version throws error and salome crashes when we want to start the ParaVis module. Probably this error is related to graphics(card/library) problem, but happens in both cases if we are starting with salome or mesa_salomeā¦ So if you have any idea what we should try/check, I would really appriciate it, but as I said this is a side note only, the main issue here is with the ubuntu version).
Thank you in advance!
