Qt apps always black

[gcardi]

After installed systemd applications using Qt exhibits always a black window. I've tried with VLC and QtCreator.

What I'm missing?

Hi, I just noticed that starting a QT application as root (sudo su), it works just fine.

This works:

giuliano@PC-GIULIANO10:~$ sudo ./qtcreator QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root' qt.core.qobject.connect: QObject::connect: Cannot connect (nullptr)::usageStatisticsNotifier(const QString) to UsageStatistic::Internal::QmlDesignerUsageEventSource::handleUsageStatisticsNotifier(const QString) qt.core.qobject.connect: QObject::connect: Cannot connect (nullptr)::usageStatisticsUsageTimer(const QString, int) to UsageStatistic::Internal::QmlDesignerUsageEventSource::handleUsageStatisticsUsageTimer(const QString, int)

This doesn't works:

giuliano@PC-GIULIANO10:~$ ./qtcreator qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "wayland" in "" QApplication: invalid style override 'kvantum-dark' passed, ignoring it. Available styles: Windows, Fusion qt.core.qobject.connect: QObject::connect: Cannot connect (nullptr)::usageStatisticsNotifier(const QString) to UsageStatistic::Internal::QmlDesignerUsageEventSource::handleUsageStatisticsNotifier(const QString) qt.core.qobject.connect: QObject::connect: Cannot connect (nullptr)::usageStatisticsUsageTimer(const QString, int) to UsageStatistic::Internal::QmlDesignerUsageEventSource::handleUsageStatisticsUsageTimer(const QString, int)

Hello @gcardi ,

Try with this:

export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/mnt/wslg/runtime-dir

Also, be sure that qt5-wayland or qt5-qtwayland packages are installed

Hi.

Thanks for the suggestion! I've tried, but Qt based apps like VLC are still all black.

Thanks again.

Cheers.

I found that vlc is still black but QT creator, Konsole and others began to work after this change

[crramirez]

Also try export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland

[gcardi]

Hi,

with this “export” Konsole works like a charm!

Thank you!

:-)
