Eos-quickstart core dumped

Hello,
on a fresh install, I get this when trying to run eos-quickstart

segmentation fault (core dumped)  eos-quickstart

Any idea?
Thanks.

Are you using qt5ct/qt6ct by any chance?

Someone recently reported an issue with newer versions of qt5ct and eos-quickstart.

Yes, I do (both).

Thanks for the tip. So I changed my /etc/environment from

QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct
#QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=kvantum

to

#QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct
QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=kvantum

It solves the issue.

Then you could mark this thread as “solved”, by clicking on “Solution” under the post that helped you most, solving the issue you had. - Thanks. :wink:

I did some further testing. It seems to be an issue the latest version of qt6ct. It isn’t only eos-quickstart that crashes. Certain other qt6 tools also dump core. Downgrading qt6ct solves the issue.

Interestingly, changing the qt6ct theme also seems to resolve the issue.
