Bug ID: 371561
Summary: Appimage aborts when started on Wayland
Product: krita
Version: 3.0.1.1
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: mgraess...@kde.org
When trying to start Krita (appimage) on Plasma Wayland the application aborts
and doesn't start:
./krita-3.0.1.1-x86_64.appimage
QCoreApplication::arguments: Please instantiate the QApplication object first
krita.lib.pigment: Compiled for arch: 7
krita.lib.pigment: Features supported:
krita.lib.pigment: "SSE2" --- yes
krita.lib.pigment: "SSSE3" --- yes
krita.lib.pigment: "SSE4.1" --- yes
krita.lib.pigment: "AVX " --- yes
krita.lib.pigment: "AVX2 " --- yes
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt
platform plugin "wayland"
in "".
Available platform plugins are: minimal, offscreen, xcb.
Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Aborted (core dumped)
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a Plasma/Wayland session
2. Download Krita appimage
3. Try to run the appimage
Actual Results:
Abort
Expected Results:
Starts
It looks to me like the appimage has Qt bundled but does not include QtWayland.
That's fine, at the moment Krita wouldn't run on Wayland anyway due to missing
tablet support in Qt. Given that I suggest to add the following to Krita prior
to instancing the QApplication:
#if HAVE_X11
qputenv("QT_QPA_PLATFORM", "xcb");
#endif
This will ensure that the appimage doesn't crash on Wayland.
Please note that the next Fedora Workstation release will default to Wayland. I
highly recommend to fix this issue prior to Fedora release.
