[Solved] Debian 12, Wayland, Can't start after installation

Post by xyen2001 » Thu Sep 14, 2023 12:33 am

Hi,

I installed qcad-3.28.2-trial-linux-qt5.14-x86_64 in Debian 12 Wayland KDE
But it shows nothing after I click the Qcad icon.
I tried to start from terminal:

y@43s-1:~/opt/qcad-3.28.2-trial-linux-qt5.14-x86_64$ ./qcad
QCAD version 3.28.2

Warning: Attempted to load the following shells ("xdg-shell", "xdg-shell-v6", "wl-shell", "ivi-shell")

And it stops here.
What might be the problem?

Thanks.
Yen

Can you try to start QCAD with:

Code: Select all

./qcad -platform xcb
For more information on this, please refer to:
https://qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?t=7866

Bottom line, your system likely tries to enforce running QCAD and other Qt apps using Wayland which is not recommended.
