Jami-qt and bleachbit issues

Jami-qt hasen’t worked for me in awhile now . It installs normal from Community repo ,but all I get is icon on system tray . There I’m not able to do anything . Right clicking on icon gives selection of show jami and quit , but neither work . I have to use ksysguard to force close .
I did a fresh install yesterday (KDE) , but still same results . Is there a fix ?

Bleachbit installs and works , only issue is it closes immediatly after running scan . Removed checkmark in preferences ( exit after cleaning ), no change . Not a deal breaker but is annoying .

Really hoping to get Jami working again ! Thanks …

Launch the application from the terminal and see what error messages it returns.

Here’s the report through terminal:

Still lost on solution to fix . I’m i the only one having this problem?

Check whether the package qt6-shadertools is installed on your system.

pacman -Qi qt6-shadertools

And please reply to my comment so that I will get a notification.

Hi , anthony93 . Thank you , working now !
I ran this command (pacman -Qi qt6-shadertools ) and recieved error (error: package ‘qt6-shadertools’ was not found ) . Ran this command ( yay -s qt6-shadertools ) found and installed . Now all working !
Not sure why it wasen’t installed while installing Jami-qt + deamon . .
Anyway all working now and thank you for help . HAPPY HOLIDAY’S

If qt6-shadertools isn’t installed, then that’s exactly what you need to do to fix it.

Since jami-qt needs the package and it wasn’t included in its dependency list (that’s why it wasn’t installed when you installed jami), you need to notify the developer of jami-qt to include that dependency.

Also, please “mark as solution” to make it easier for other users to refer to this post.

Cheers, and happy holidays.

qt6-shadertools is referenced in a jami-qt bug report from October. It is currently an optional dependency, and as no one else has commented, it is still considered optional.
