So: Keepassxc doesn’t show open or save dialogs. There are no errors.
I’m not sure what the problem is but if I try the flatpak it does work.

did you try to start it from terminal to see if you get any usefull information?.
I don’t have any issue with keepassxc on plasma.

I have the same issue, and started from terminal there is no additional output giving any hint on why its not opening the dialog.
The already cached database it opens without problems though.

Its the version 2.6.1 by the way.

I am not experiencing any problems with KeePassXC 2.6.1 on Gnome 3.36.6. Have you tried uninstalling (and purging/cleaning) and reinstalling?

Mhmm - are you running under wayland or xorg?

oh I see that I (am on testing) am ahead in QT - your on Qt 5.15.0 so both wayland session or QT could be it.

6

Yep, just noticed you are under Wayland. That’s likely the problem. I’m using Xorg because Barrier does not work correctly under Wayland.

7

Having the exact same problem. No file chooser dialogs at all. I’m using Xorg.

Puting on and one together from our debug outputs - it seems its the QT 5.15.1 thats causing it.

Anyone any idea how the package is called so I can try and downgrade it maybe?

9

It might be qt5-base. That’s at least a starting point, I think. I see several qt5-* packages.

10

I tried downgrading qt5-base qt5-svg qt5-x11extras to 5.15.0 but sadly this doesn’t fix it.

I switched to the AppImage version for now. This works. Not the desired solution, though.
