GUI won't start for Ubuntu 16.04

[poisonowl]

Please see my previous comment on issue #52

I decided I'd give it one more shot installing 0.8.1

I removed and purged the working version 0.7.3 (works fine for me) and then I installed 0.8.1 from the terminal.

The outline of the GUI only flashes on the screen for 1 second.

I rebooted, but same issue- GUI only flashes on the screen.

Then I tried to reinstall. Nothing changed. I cannot get the gui to start.

Perhaps you can see what is wrong. I would really like this to work.

All the dependencies are installed and current.

This issue has been reported and discussed here: https://airvpn.org/topic/26327-alternative-airvpn-client-with-provider-independent-double-hop-support-gnulinux/?p=81843

I think he's working on a solution, but you can probably try to force an update to PyQt5

Thank you @mikeza :)

Yes, unfortunately this bug affects the current release if the Qt version installed on your system is lower than 5.7. I'm working on a fix.

Should be finally fixed in the latest release.

Installation of 0.8.2 (from deb) is a success!

Prior to installation, removed previous version using: sudo apt-get --purge remove qomui

However, the qomui files in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/qomui/pycache were not deleted during the removal, so I removed them separately (the removal had been necessary for previous installations- I will attempt to install on another machine without removing them first and see how that goes).

Thank you for all your hard work!
