Hey @pemd-sys, thanks for reporting. I think this happens because you're running a Wayland session and not an Xorg one, which can be inferred from the first line of the messages shows when Spyder is launched:

Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.

The message also seems to give the solution to your problem, i.e. that you need to start Spyder like this:

QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland spyder

Please try that and let us know if it works for you.

Thank you @ccordoba12. Spyder Works ! I got a few messages in the terminal (see below) when i run with the suggested command, but otherwise it loads just fine. On another note is there a install guide for using it inside a docker. I got a scientific package which runs inside docker container and i was wondering if there is already documented guide to doing this properly.

Thank you @ccordoba12. Spyder Works !

Great! I'm glad it works for you now.

No, there isn't. But in that case I wouldn't recommend you to install Spyder inside your docker instance. Instead, you should install Spyder-kernels and then connect to it using our instructions here.

Hm, for me it doesn't work even when specifying the Qt platform plugin:

(base) berniyh@orionis:~ [i] $ QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland spyder              

Could not load the Qt platform plugin "wayland" in "" even though it was found.

zsh: IOT instruction (core dumped)  QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland spyder

Just did a fresh anaconda installation + conda update. Out of the given options, only eglfs starts up, but it's fullscreen and not really usable. Also, I removed ~/.config/spyder-py3, just to be sure it's not some config problem, but that didn't help either.

Here is what I get with coredumpctl: https://gist.github.com/berniyh/f9f2e0e0a47ea185a3ea710b33bebd66

Feb 10 '23 15:02 berniyh

Ok, I got it working. The problem, which I already suspected, but wasn't sure about, was that it tried to use the system Qt instead of the one by anaconda. Doing unset QT_PLUGIN_PATH in the anaconda environment did the trick and spyder came up fine.

Feb 13 '23 10:02 berniyh

Great! I'm glad you figured it out how to solve that problem.

Feb 14 '23 21:02 ccordoba12

QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland spyder

Based on yours recommendation. It works! Thanks a Lot
