I see lots of QT5 updates in Unstable, but no qt5-base. @nightmare-2021

Yes, we need new qt5-base please.

Is there still a need have an overlay qt5-base and not take it from arch directly?
I found this in the archived forum:


But the oldest now available kernel is 4.14.

qt5-base 5.15.1-3 is in the repo.
i am going to test it.

edit: i have just rebooted and the most of the functionality is there again.
i still notice some bugs in firefox window borders and conky background.

Hmm, just applied all qt updates and rebooted.
Qt Apps won’t want to start though.

Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (5.15.0) with this library (5.15.1)

They all need to be recompiled against 5.15.1 ?

edit

Not sure what is going on. Even if I recompile an application against qt 5.15.1 on my system I still get that message above.

No problems with launching Qt apps in Plasma after this update, QtEmu built with v5.15.0 runs fine, Cantata (from repos) also works as expected.
Thanks for the quick build of qt5-base, @oberon!

Figured it out. Some theme thing.
I had gtk2 style selected in qt5ct. With kvantum it’s ok.

arch wiki saved my ass again :wink:

All my qt apps failed also. Looks like qt5-styleplugins needs to be rebuilt for Qt 5.15.1. (@nightmare-2021?)

If you don’t want to wait for the new Manjaro package, it can also be rebuilt using AUR. That worked for me.

Ahh, that’s the one. Thanks.
No problem, I can wait. I was just a bit a amazed that a patch version of qt could break so many things.

Unfortunately, plasma5-applets-plasma-pstate causes Plasma to crash now (after updating to Qt 5.15.1) :frowning_face:

Krusader does not start because of conflicting QT-libraries, some other apps do the same.
(12.09.2020) - I reverted to testing.

I had kvantum style selected in qt5ct. Error:

Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (5.15.0) with this library (5.15.1)

installed qt5-styleplugins (5.0.0.20170311-23)
and did the update “unstable” again (13.09.2020):
Krusader works again.

I haven’t ran the update yet, but people on Arch are reporting massive issues after the qt5 update to 5.15.1, and I know some of them seem to be solved here, but the multi-monitor one mentioned on reddit (why can’t we post links here?) isn’t mentioned in this thread. I suppose I can update and maybe downgrade if I encounter issues, but I have to have dual-monitor functionality so it’ll be a PITA if it’s borked. Someone here mentioned that qt5-base is on 5.15.1-3 in the repos, but my update is only showing 5.15.1-1. Fingers crossed, will report back.

Weird, I’m on qt5-base 5.15.1-1 and I don’t have the issue others are talking about with dual monitors. Awesome. Anyways, fully updated, everything is fine (except obviously the gparted bug which I bisected and reverted).

Discussing that question would be very off-topic for this thread, but maybe just a little off-topic would be to suggest that, if you cannot post a link, simply paste it in your post, then highlight it, then click the preformatted text icon (</>)

gparted issue is fixed with 5.8.9-2 (xfce)

One more strange issue is Plasma has begun half-loading on a separate display: laptop’s one loads fine on startup, but the external one shows only Latte dock and top panel, the remaining space is simply black and doesn’t react to right-clicks, for example. Restarting Plasma manually makes it load properly, but on the next login I see the same behavior. Reproducible with another user’s account (test acc, default settings).

Summary

Problems for me too on a triple monitor setup, I have a black box on the wallpaper, and I can’t see and reach the icons on the top of the desktop, the notification appears on the left top angle of the center monitor instead of the top right, even the startup splash screen seems to be off center.

Are you sure?
