SABnzbd failing to launch on macOS Sonoma Beta 1

[kvenden]

Just curious if anyone else has ran into this, yet? and if you've found a solution? It seems like its errors are python related. I'm getting the following:

Apparently I can't paste the log because it says new users aren't allowed to post links even though there's no links in the post.

I know all apps aren't expected to run on OS beta's, but if anyone else has found a workaround to get this working, I'd sure love to hear it as I use this daily.
Thanks,

I think the keywords are

PyInstaller
osxmenu.py
FBSSceneTransitionContext

... but if I google that, nothing comes up. Even "FBSSceneTransitionContext" alone (with quotes), gives only 7 hits.

I would say this is something upstream: in PyInstaller, or even in macOS Sonoma Beta 1 itself.

So no solution for you for now

Check question: are you running the SABnzbd installer? You don't have SAB installed on your Sonoma?

Yes, I run the installer, if you're meaning the one that copies the SABnzbd.app file to my Applications folder. Is there something else I should try? I tried the latest early release one yesterday to see if it made any difference but it did not.

[sander]

I wondered: if you had SAB running on an earlier version of MacOS, and then did the MacOS upgrade ... was SAB still runnable as it was still installed?

That was exactly the scenario and it wasn't still runnable after the upgrade. So, I tried downloading the latest pre-release version to see if it would work but same issue. It won't launch. I even tried installing the latest version of Python, but no dice.

I even tried installing the latest version of Python, but no dice.

Installing Python did not work?! That's serious. I suppose a very different error?

No, I meant, I installed the latest version of python and SABnzbd still failed to load with same errors. Python installed fine and runs.

Really? Because PyInstaller is only in "builder". AFAIK that is not run when you just run SABnzbd.py

So ... do you want to go the path of running SABnzbd from source? It's only a few steps; see https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/installation/i ... ff-modules

If you can't handle git, you get also just download the source code from https://sabnzbd.org/downloads . Note: the download named "Source Code". Not the Mac stuff

Ok, I tried installing it via all of those steps for macOS on that page and then ran it like it said, and I get the following:

I think you can now post plain URLs like https://paste.ofcode.org/342qZSUTXS5qthgxiyBAyBd

Code: Select all

sabnzbd % python3 SABnzbd.py

What happens if you do:

python3 <enter>
