Odp: Re: Snap kate package fails to start in wayland session

[Marek Byk]

Thank you for the suggestion.   Unfortunately, but this commit doesn't solve my problem. I'm using the latest version of the package (kate 23.08.4), which includes this commit.   libqt5waylandclient5 provides the QtWayland client library, and libqt5waylandcompositor5 the QtWayland compositor library. The error indicates that the QtWayland platform plugin is missing.   Here is the result of running kate with QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1:  pastebin.com https://pastebin.com/QeZMmuap   On startup, kate searches for the Qt platform Wayland plugin in /snap/kate/171/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/platforms. It's not found and the application cannot be launched (This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized.).   List of files in the platform plugin directory of kate snap (/snap/kate/171/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/platforms):  pastebin.com https://pastebin.com/qr4b39Rs   List of files in the platform plugin directory of my system with qtwayland5 instaled (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/platforms):  pastebin.com https://pastebin.com/JfksqM3N   When I set QT_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins, kate runs correctly. qtwayland5 provides the missing files ( packages.ubuntu.com https://packages.ubuntu.com/mantic/arm64/qtwayland5/filelist ). Therefore, I think qtwayland5 should be added to the snap kate package.  Finally, information about my system:  Ubuntu 23.10  Gnome 45.2 with Wayland session  Snap 2.61.1   Greetings  Marek.

Of course, this is a temporary  solution, for the purpose of verifying the problem.   It seems to me that in the snapcraft.yaml file in the stage-packages  should be added qtwayland5 (reference:  forum.snapcraft.io https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/problem-launching-qt-snaps-in-wayland/7055).   Hi,   I think that was fixed with:   invent.kde.org https://invent.kde.org/utilities/kate/-/commit/ea465e32a5c5ef429165ef124002e410825ad7b9   Greetings  Christoph    Regards, Marek
