TexMaker F1 Problem After Qt6 Install

ofmrew · S SGaist 3 Mar 2021, 20:13

@SGaist I found one reference to Qt5, namely:

sudo apt remove appmenu-qt5

That was for Linux, but my Win 10 TexMaker has the same problem.

SGaist · 4 Mar 2021, 20:51

I currently do wonder how an isolated installation of Qt 6 might interfere with TexMaker.

Can you run ldd on the TexMaker binary ?

@SGaist Is this swhat you want:

That's what I was suspecting nothing related to Qt 6.

Did you try to run TexMaker from the command line to see if you have any log messages about what is going on ?

ofmrew · 6 Mar 2021, 14:32

@SGaist From the terminal I get:
bob@bob-linux:~$ cd /bin
bob@bob-linux:/bin$ texmaker
qt5ct: using qt5ct plugin
Gtk-Message: 16:21:11.851: Failed to load module "xapp-gtk3-module"

ofmrew · O ofmrew 4 Mar 2021, 21:28

@ofmrew Any thoughts on this problem?

SGaist · 6 Mar 2021, 20:23

Do you get it to work again if you remove Qt 6 ?

ofmrew · 6 Mar 2021, 20:30

@SGaist I haven't tried that but I will on the Win 10 computer. Be back to you.

ofmrew · O ofmrew 6 Mar 2021, 20:23

@ofmrew 6.0.1 is removed but TexMaker is still broke.

SGaist · 7 Mar 2021, 14:33

Looks like it's unrelated to Qt 6 then.

Did you try to check if there's a log or something generated by TexMaker ? Did you try to start it from the command line ?

It seems to indicate that the pdf file was written, but I checked and it was not. I hope it helps.

@ofmrew said in TexMaker F1 Problem After Qt6 Install:

Package ifluatex Info: LuaTeX not detected.

I don't know if it's related but worth a check.

ofmrew · S SGaist 7 Mar 2021, 19:20

@SGaist I looked and it is not required. On the Win 10 computer TexMaker was working correctly, the change was the Qt6 install which resulted in it not working. Mint Linux was a new install.

SGaist · 8 Mar 2021, 19:29

Did you re-install TexMaker ?

ofmrew · S SGaist 7 Mar 2021, 20:12

@SGaist Yes, I uninstalled it and reinstalled, same problem.

SGaist · 8 Mar 2021, 20:17

After removing Qt 6 ?

ofmrew · 8 Mar 2021, 20:20

@SGaist I removed Qt6 and reinstalled it, then I uninstalled TexMaker and reinstalled it. Same problem, note that this is on win 10. Win 10 also has qt5 installed. I have not tried it on Mint Linux.

The question now is should I remove TexMaker and all versions of qt, the try TexMaker with no qt installed?

That was the idea, yes.

ofmrew · S SGaist 8 Mar 2021, 20:20

@SGaist I am getting back to this problem; however, to do so will mean that I will need to remove Qt and the Qt3D that I painfully installed. I would like to move Ninja and Vulkan so that I will not need to build them, also. I would like to save conan3D which was the conan build directory, but will that not work when I reinstall Qt6? Any advise? I wish there was a workaround to this TexMaker problem.
