Katrain, Freezes after my move, OS warns of unresponsive prog

Hi. I have the Baduk-training program, Katrain, and today I resolved the engine from not working by installing needed libraries. Now I need to deal with another problem–the game freezes to the point of the OS saying it’s not responding. I just installed 1.15 and would like to go back to 1.14 because it always worked; I installed 1.15 by pip. I think I need to remove all of 1.15, but don’t know what to enter because the computer doesn’t list it in Synaptic under Manually Installed and --purge katrain is a no-go too. If I can wipe out all of 1.15 and install a fresh copy of 1.14, I think it would work. If there’s any other way of getting katrain to unfreeze and thus working, that would be great. Thanks. I’ve also asked in another forum.

Hi Is the link to the other post just a way to help others find a solution if they share my problem, and it happens to be answered on the UM Community’s website, or is it just unnecessary asking two different places–I was told to just notify of the double post. Thanks.

A number of us are using multiple sites, and seeing the same question multiple times can be a tad annoying; we may not recognize its the same person (asking at various places) but see it as a potential clue that multiple users maybe encountering a new issue that needs exploration (ie. result of update, change etc, but soon will discover its not).

On this post you mention you asked elsewhere (that personally I do appreciate); on Ubuntu-MATE’s discourse there was no mention of other sites being used.

I’m not aware of any such rule on this or Ubuntu-MATE’s discourse that disallow ‘cross-posting’; but some sites do have rules against cross-posting.

Your thread will be seen by a good portion of users twice; how they react to that is their decision; though yes you will have potentially have you question(s) seen by more eyes. For those that want to respond, my providing a link maybe useful so they can view what other responses you’ve got; myself I tend to just move on when I see cross-posting.

It certainly would be helpful to provide more information about the system, like what version it is, etc.

Hi–sorry man; I usually do a better job at posting in forums. The OS is UM 22.04. I no longer have problems with Katrain and now know how to install a specific version, with 1.14 being the case here: “pip3 install ‘KaTrain==1.14.0’ ‘Kivy==2.3.0’”

Sounds good. I encourage you to mark that last post (i.e. yours) as the solution to your problem.

Sorry I did not do that on this website–maybe it’s the changeover from UF, but did it automatically on UM Community.

I doubt it was automatic. Probably more that a moderator decided it for you. Someone else from the forums (@Wild_Man?) can confirm or deny. I think it’s nicer to have the OP decide what their solution is rather than someone mandate it in any case.

I meant the decision for me was to automatically click the post that was the Solution. UF–I miss it… Sorry for the mixup.

Oh that makes sense! Yeah, figuring out something new is hard. I think (can’t say for certain as I didn’t use the forums much personally) you’ll find Discourse to be incredibly powerful. Give it some time.

I like that it is like the UM Community, with the button right at the post to mark Solution. Ubuntu Forums, I think I would have had to scroll to the top and click the drop-down and click Solved

@wxl looks like he answered for me but no the the thread was not marked solved automatically on the old forum but occasionally after some time went by a mod might mark one solved but not very often.

Hi WildMan. I don’t think I ever had a topic marked as Solved by a moderator on old forum–I though having the topic marked as Solved helped others with similar problems–in this case KaTrain and Kivy.
