TexMaker F1 Problem After Qt6 Install

ofmrew · wrote on 3 Mar 2021, 14:29

I have TexMaker installed on two computers, a Mint Linux and a Win 10. TexMaker was working correctly on the Win 10 computer before I installed Qt6, after the installation the F1 key compiles the LaTex document but the pdf file is not up dated. Because of prerequisites I was forced to install Mint Linux 20 and the install Qt6 and TexMaker, which has the same problem. I believe that TexMaker is based on Qt5. Anybody know why this is happening and how I can get my TexMaker working correctly again? Thanks for any help.

Hi,

Do you mean you are building TexMaker with Qt 6 ?

ofmrew · 4 Mar 2021, 16:47

@SGaist I had a working version of TexMaker and after I installed Qt6, the F1 key did not work. My statement is that I had seen stating that TexMaker was base on Qt5.

SGaist · 4 Mar 2021, 18:05

What you do not explain is how you installed TexMaker, nor Qt 6.

Qt 5 and Qt 6 have explicit different so version so there's no risk for an application to pick the wrong major release by accident.

@ofmrew

For TexMaker I downloaded texmaker_5.0.4_ubuntu_20_10_amd64.deb and ran it.
For Qt6 I ran the open source version of qt-unified-linux-x64-4.0.1-1-online.run.

I am looking for the site were Qt5 is mentioned as the base for Texaamaker, I will post it when I find it.

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 ?

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.

SGaist · 7 Mar 2021, 20:01

@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.
