Medusa on Ubuntu 24.04.01 vs 22.04.5

[DonMoco]

Medusa on Ubuntu 24.04.01 with Python3 3.12.x; DOES NOT work. I had a python error, which I discovered via journalctl -e (but needed my server up and running soonest, so reverted back to previous Ubuntu version. Sorry don't have the error handy.)

vs 22.04.5 with Python3 3.10.12 works flawlessly

Just in case someone runs into this or saves them from grief : )

Got a work around by installing python 3.11, modifying the script to /usr/local/bin/python3.11 /opt/medusa/start.py -q --nolaunch --datadir=/opt/medusa

Not everything works yet but at least it's up and running

I gave this a shot, but unfortunately, was unsuccessful.

I followed this article and installed python3.11.

I then modified my /etc/systemd/system/medusa.service to utilize python3.11

ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3.11 /opt/medusa/start.py -q --nolaunch --datadir=/opt/medusa

I then performed a daemon-reload:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload

But medusa strartup continued to fail.

Had the same problem.. rolled the OS back and set it not to upgrade.
It still takes updates,,
This affected other apps that used the older version of python also.

Apparently Medusa release 1.0.22 supports Python 3.12 [https://github.com/pymedusa/Medusa/releases/tag/v1.0.22]. I am going to try it on a separate vanilla Ubuntu 24.04 + Medusa and see if it starts/works successfully.

[DugieHowsa]

It does and I was able to successfully upgrade earlier this month.

I was able to upgrade my existing implementation by getting the latest version via the command line:

git config --global --add safe.directory /opt/medusa
git pull
sudo chown -R medusa:medusa /opt/medusa

I was getting some errors regarding upgrade checks and other cosmetic stuff for a couple weeks, but those appear to have disappeared this week.
