OK I have to apologise (mostly) to Qt5 I have finally found the problem. Qt5 is incompatable with icewm (window manager). Apps launched through it cannot get the current X server. There is a bug report http://sourceforge.net/p/icewm/bugs/909/ which says it is fixed, but it is not, I just built from sources and still does not work Qt5 obviously does something different regards X access to all previous versions, which causes problems I have used icewm for upwards of 15 years, it is the first thing I install on a new system. It is a very fast light wm, great pity it cant be used. I only discovered this because my user uses lightdm by default and I logged in without switching to icewm. Having previously hung without any error, Qt5 now ran. When I had built and installed by download, I probably just used the defaults as well, as I was just doing that one thing in a terminal then leaving it to complete. So finally I can get to look at Alex's QtQuickVcp without wanting to throw something out of the window:-P regards ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start Your Social Network Today - Download eXo Platform Build your Enterprise Intranet with eXo Platform Software Java Based Open Source Intranet - Social, Extensible, Cloud Ready Get Started Now And Turn Your Intranet Into A Collaboration Platform http://p.sf.net/sfu/ExoPlatform _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
