Ulauncher: KeyError: '\x00' on launch

Created on 13 Sep 2018  路  6Comments  路  Source: Ulauncher/Ulauncher

I installed Ulauncher from AUR and it worked fine. But some weeks ago, it stopped working. I tried updating and reinstalling, but the problem persists.

Steps to reproduce:
Start ulauncher

Ulauncher version:
Linux distro: Arch
Desktop environment: i3wm

Logs:

@ibot3 looks like an pickling issue, my guess there was an upgrade somewhere. Try clearing cache ...

  1. exit Ulauncher
  2. open terminal
  3. run rm ~/.cache/ulauncher_cache/*.db
  4. start Ulauncher again

@ibot3 did the @goodwillcoding's suggestion work for you?

Apparently Ulauncher was run with Python3, which caused that issue.
I agree, removing ~/.cache/ulauncher_cache should fix the issue

I've added a patch that forces Python 2 to avoid issues like this in future

Deleting the cache folder solved the problem. Thank you.
