Re: Behold of qt5x11extras5

Many users experienced crashes after dist-upgrade yesterday, including myself. kdm started going in a loop and would not reach the desktop, so I set sddm as default, which caused a completely black screen, known unresolved issue. So I installed lightdm, no luck either, but at least no black

Re: Behold of qt5x11extras5

The solution is to downgrade libqt5x11extras5 to libqt5x11extras5_5.4.2-2+b1_amd64 (or 385 if your system is 32bit). You should find libqt5x11extras5_5.4.2-2+b1_amd64.deb in the /var/cache/apt/archives directory if you haven't run "apt-get clean" recently. Mine was dated Aug 9. Use "dpkg -i

Re: Behold of qt5x11extras5

I forgot After downgrading to libqt5x11extras5_5.4.2-2+b1_amd64 use "apt-mark hold libqt5x11extras5" to hold the version so you can do normal upgrades without this bug hitting you again. ...Bob

Re: Behold of qt5x11extras5

I understand, thought of that solution on a previous crash and installed xfce. I could go to xfce by selecting it in kdm, but now not even kdm works, I think that I will have to install lightdm again. sddm was touted as a great improvement, it does work on one of my computers, but on this one

Re: Behold of qt5x11extras5

KDE4 works so great in my Jessie VM, but time will tell if version 5 (or 6) will be that feature-rich and robust. I posted this in the kde IRC channel without any response so far, maybe nobody knows. That is why I am trying it here: OK, so I downgraded and held back the villain in testing:

Behold of qt5x11extras5

It seems that qt5x11extras5 migrated to testing when it shouldn't have. This seems to be causing crashes for many. The workaround is to keep the 5.4 until the rest of qt 5.5 enters testing or update to sid's 5.5, but beware we have a problem with vlc there... -- On the side of the software
