Hi Ian,
I'm assuming you ran the "python3 -m pip install ." part from the README?
Is the older laptop running a 32 bit OS?
It looks on the face of it like an issue with the version of PyQt5
installed.

Folks,
Have just acquired a NanoVNA - installed on NanoVNA-saver on OSX no
problem but I have an old but powerful laptop running Xubuntu 18.04LTS that
I want to use as a dedicated workshop machine.
I have tried to follow the instructions here:
When I type "python3.7 nanovna-saver" I get a lengthy tracedump (between
the "***"s:
***

I'm not familiar with Python and it appears that something may not have
been installed as part of the Python3 installation. I followed the
guidance on the github site closely but I don't seem to be able to get past
this error.
Grateful for any input.
Best regards,
Ian
