You can use the QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb environment variable to launch the app in XWayland, which allows the application to open, but does not fix the application not running on Wayland desktops. You can edit your .desktop entry to include this by default when launching for a temporary fix.

I tried again on a fresh plain cachyOS install, and it's still happening. I'm wondering if it's an NVIDIA thing now, are you on an nv card too @Sammy-0?

Yup! I'm on a 4060

I use Debian with wayland. I have the same issue. But if i launch it with sudo, it works fine.

I think it is a result of the QT upgrade. Some other QT linux apps have this issue, but never really resolve it. @celisej567 are you also on Nvidia?

Thespikedballofdoom avatar Nov 13 '25 22:11 Thespikedballofdoom

Yes i do.

I have rolled included Qt back to 6.4 since upgrading broke compatibility with everything still based on Debian 12. If one of you could download the latest compiled build from the Actions tab please let me know if it works out of the box again

Yes, now it works fine without sudo. Ive downloaded gcc release installer.

Thank you! Closing this issue, I'll keep this in mind when thinking about upgrading Qt again
