I have a qt 5 application that I'm trying to run on Fedora 29 running Wayland. The app was built from source and was working correctly on Fedora 28. After upgrading to 29 I am receiving the following warning and the application doesn't start "Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway."
Did you try using that?
If I run it as root using sudo I get "QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root' No protocol specified qt.qpa.screen: QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display :0 Could not connect to any X display."
Right, you can't easily run applications as root on Wayland.
Running the command with QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland-egl (per https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_Wayland_problems#Looking_for_similar_reports) I get the error "QSocketNotifier: Can only be used with threads started with QThread"
That looks like an application bug.
I have the WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 output as well but it means nothing to me. I dont know much about display backends and compsitors, but it seems like the QT application is trying to connect to an XWayland display but can't find one in Fedora 29. Does anyone have any suggestions to try and get the application to display?
If you want it to try connecting to XWayland, then run it with XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11. Like:
"XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 myapp" _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
