Running on arm64 (Pinebook Pro) about stargate

Hello, thanks for reporting. Stargate has first-tier support for ARM platforms, but I have only tested it on Raspberry Pi4 and a 2015 era oDroid, using Raspbian, Ubuntu and Fedora. This appears to be an issue with the PyQt packages that your distro provided, that they will need to fix. But I will help as much as possible.

First

Try running this from the command line:

python3
>>> from PyQt5 import QtGui, QtWidgets, QtCore

I assume you will see the same error. If so, file a bug report with your distro, they will need to fix the package

Potential work-arounds

Install PyQt from pip

python3 -m pip install PyQt5
# Or
python3 -m pip install PyQt6

Upgrade Python

Check your version

python3 -V

If it is an older version, or a very new version, try installing 3.8, 3.9 if possible

If you have multiple version of python installed, you can select them like this:

python3.7 $(which stargate)
python3.9 $(which stargate)

Try another distro

As previously mentioned, Stargate is known to work on ARM64 Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora, there is no reason to believe it would not work on a Pinebook.

@loplkc , Also feel free to chat with us on Discord, might be easier to assist.

Have not heard back from you, and this is almost certainly an issue with your distro, so closing the ticket. Feel free to discuss further with us in Discord, we are eager to know if Stargate works on Pinebook.
