I'd like to follow-up on the "cards not shown" issue with Mnemosyne on Ubuntu. I too experienced this problem on a new Jammy Jellyfish installation, and I was having great difficulty fixing it. However, downgrading Qt as per Peter's suggestion did indeed fix my problem. My initial PyQt package configuration, that was incompatible with Mnemosyne, was:
>pip list | grep PyQt PyQt5 5.15.7 PyQt5-Qt5 5.15.2 PyQt5-sip 12.11.0 PyQtWebEngine 5.15.6 PyQtWebEngine-Qt5 5.15.2 I uninstalled and downgraded packages until I eventually reached a configuration where Mnemosyne would once again show cards. The working configuration I found is: >pip list | grep PyQt PyQt5 5.15.6 PyQt5-sip 12.9.1 PyQtWebEngine 5.15.5 Note that uninstalling "PyQtWebEngine-Qt5" and "PyQt5-Qt5" was insufficient to make Mnemosyne work. I found it necessary to both uninstall those two packages and downgrade the remaining three. I hope this proves useful for any other Mnemosyne users on Ubuntu.
