As an experiment, please try to extract the files first: This will extract the app files to Then download and unzip the following file: And move it to Then try again Does that work? If so, we can start bundling the wayland platform lib in the future so it will automatically work, also inside the normal AppImage. |
|
@nicheosala nevermind, the above will not work because some more libs are missing and libraries are not linked properly. Related: probonopd/linuxdeployqt#189 Does the app run via X11 on your system? If so, what's the downside so that you want to run it via Wayland? |
|
Yes, the app works using X11, however it appears blurred. If you zoom in on this screenshot, I hope you can see the difference in resolution between the top bar and the rest of the screen.

Do you know the cause for this? Some googling turned up fractional scaling: https://www.reddit.com/r/gnome/comments/x1qbd2/has_anyone_solved_blurry_xwayland_apps_with/ Not that I am against wayland support in the app, but maybe you can more quickly solve the problem by tweaking settings etc. |
|
I have tried many of the environment variables listed online ( |
|
People using Chromium/Electron have the same issue under Wayland. Maybe "enabling the experimental fractional scaling feature in Gnome" is worth a shot?

I should specify that I am using Arch Linux with KDE Plasma. In fact, when I run the above |

@nicheosala could you try this build? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ShEmcIBpPA7UTkNAW-JIPPFBKch7tp4_/view?usp=sharing It is built from this PR: #3117 |

@nicheosala did you set wayland explictly like Edit: it seems there are more libs missing that need to be bundled. Without support from linuxdeployqt, this is a bit annoying but should be doable. |

Way better. The application starts correctly in a Wayland session: ➜ Downloads QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland ./BitBoxApp-wayland-attempt2.AppImage

I should mention that everything works also not prepending |
That was one of the reasons why the linuxdeployqt maintainer refuses to support wayland 😓 |
|
I reopened BitBoxApp to better analyze the new situation. I noticed that the cursor is wrong. When you position yourself on the top bar, the correct cursor appears; as soon as you move on the BitBoxApp GUI, a different cursor appears. I can't take a screenshot that shows this cursor 😅 |
I managed to solve this explicitly pointing out the theme and the size of the curosr: XCURSOR_THEME=breeze_cursors XCURSOR_SIZE=24 ./BitBoxApp-wayland-attempt2.AppImageHowever, it feels wrong: I never had to do it with other applications... |
Please add Wayland support to the AppImage. I use BitBoxApp on Arch Linux and I couldn't find any way to run the application via Wayland. Failed attempt:
Results in:
I should point out that I have already installed
qt5-waylandandqt6-wayland.All other applications installed on my computer work fine with Wayland, except BitBox App.
I am available for any clarification. Thanks for your work.
