Anki - Flash Card program to help studying ;-)

Post#1 by miguipda » 27 Jul 2013, 10:50

Hi,

could somebody help us to have this Anki program as a Porteus module ?
http://ankisrs.net/

It is a Flash Card program allowing to study (langages, ...).

Sincerely thanks and have a nice day,

Miguipda ;-)

10 years later, may I repeat this request. The modules built by getmod or pmod both lack certain python libraries and are older anyway that the latest version on https://apps.ankiweb.net/ (need Qt5 version please) so anki-2.1.65-linux-qt5.tar.zst It has an install.sh but I'm afraid of running it: it'll "install" into my changes but I want a module. If anyone could help please or teach it'd be great.

Make a backup of your changes file/folder, do the "install", test it. If the test fails, restore the backups. :)

OK, it won't run anyway under root, so it's a dead end:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/tmp/anki-2.1.65-linux-qt5# anki --no-sandbox
Anki starting...
Initial setup...
Preparing to run...
[7820:7820:0706/223501.758486:ERROR:zygote_host_impl_linux.cc(89)] Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported. See https://crbug.com/638180.
There is nothing to be done, no more time to be wasted on this.

No, it doesn't work for me anyway:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/tmp/anki-2.1.65-linux-qt5# anki args: ['--no-sandbox']

Did you try:

anki args: --no-sandbox

:%)

And if that failed I would try:

anki args --no-sandbox

Ed_P, None of those work. Let me know if you discover a way to pass that parameter to anki that actually works. Ttop making me do random things :crazy: Anki is broken for root. Case closed. For now.

No problem. Since I have no interesting in Anki I won't be testing or offering any more suggestions.

the sh.install of anki you have to run it as root with sudo, and the path is /usr/local but every day use you have to run it as guest,

or as root:

Code: Select all

su -l guest -c /mnt/sdb3/data/x86_64-packages/anki-2.1.65-linux-qt5/anki
(without installing (copying) anki files)
You have mind and feelings. Be wise and clever.

tome, yes, thanks -- the weird things they make us do sometimes, but yes running under guest works, and with either Qt5 or Qt6 because the binary package includes the whole Qt subsystem it needs. Of course, it'll be placing its data and config under /home/guest. But we can run it in a half-portable mode like this (see https://docs.ankiweb.net/files#startup-options), (it still writes something less important in /home/guest):

Code: Select all

root@porteus:~# su -l guest -c "/tmp/anki-2.1.65-linux-qt5/anki -b /P/Anki"
Anki starting...
Initial setup...
Preparing to run...
Starting main loop...
-- and you're right , no need to "install.sh" it as it's already hacky anyway -- just unzip the archive.

This thread continues with some repetition over at: Anki: improving memory -- please don't post here, unless an actual xzm is produced (which is unlikely to happen as this is one of those AppImage-like all-inclusive bundles)
