Tried to start but

    ❯ psychopy
    ❯ echo $?
    1

    ❯ psychopy --firstrun
    ❯ echo $?
    1

    ❯ psychopy --coder
    ❯ echo $?
    1

only stracing I found that there is now a log file where it dumps its errors

    ❯ cat /home/yoh/.psychopy3/last_app_load.log
    Traceback (most recent call last):

which comes from python3-wxgtk-webview4.0 which I installed to address that one. Trying again produced another error in that file:

	0.0747  DEBUG   Opening message catalog /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/psychopy/localization/../app/locale/en_US/LC_MESSAGE/messages.mo for locale en_US

which might be due to incompatibility with available version of pyglet?  the one I have is 2.0.17+ds-3.

I have not run into this problem when working on the upgrade to
version 2026.1.0, so I'm confident that the newer upstream
version will be suitable to close this issue and plan to adjust
the d/changelog accordingly.

Have a nice day,  :)
