Running qutebrowser - Calling _exit(1)

Useful information

python3.5 and pip3.5 are installed by default on gallium OS 16.04

I tried installing qutebrowser on gallium OS. As the operating system is based on xubuntu, I followed these steps:

https://qutebrowser.org/doc/install.html#_ubuntu_16_04_lts_linux_mint_18

I used pip3.5 to install all the missing packages the python program needed. I faced several problems and after doing some research on Stack Overflow, I found these links:

-AttributeError: module 'attr' has no attribute 's': solved with AttributeError: module 'attr' has no attribute 's'

Problem

When I run qutebrowser using:

$ python3.5 qutebrowser.py

I get this error output:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mO8e6PQzAJArqINQwTd2FrBScTTf25BYcSS5hMuUg2c/edit?usp=sharing

I tried to search about the error and found this:

https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/3731

It seems the issue has not be solved yet.

  • That issue was closed because "...and you still haven't answered any of the questions we asked above ". If you have the same problem, file a new bug, or reopen that one, and make sure to answer all the questions they asked the previous reporter. – abarnert Apr 30 '18 at 21:16
  • Meanwhile, I'm not sure how anyone on SO, or anyone else but the qutebrowser team, can help you with a bug in qutebrowser, unless you're asking how to ignore them, learn their code, fork it, and fix it yourself. – abarnert Apr 30 '18 at 21:17
  • My issue is different but it can be related to his as we are both using chromebooks - My error output is: `Could not find QtWebEngineProcess` – Luka Lafaye de Micheaux May 01 '18 at 06:55
  • @abarnert Found a fix anyways, refer to accepted answer below. – Luka Lafaye de Micheaux Jan 16 '20 at 07:45

The error was: Could not find QtWebEngineProcess

After doing more research, I found this link:

https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/3662

This solved the error:

As sudo or root:

$ pip3.5 uninstall
$ pip3.5 install --user PyQt5==5.10.0 # Do not specify username

Qutebrowser is incredibly fast and uses vim shortcuts.
