This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Any ideas? Plasma Wayland.

Do you have the most recent version which was released on sunday ?

Yes:

1 extra/vorta 0.10.1-2 (630.4 KiB 2.9 MiB) (Installed)
    Desktop Client for Borg Backup

It last ran:

29th November…

Many, just none to help with this but check dependencies but think they should be ok. Sorry couldn;t help myself

Everything installed OK. Tried rolling back to the 29th (with pacman) doesn’t help. What didn’t work:

  • Tried forcing xcb
  • Took QT_QPA_PLATFORM out
  • Added xcb to QT_QPA_PLATFORM

Have had to install the flatpak (can’t run without backups) and now I feel dirty :rofl:

Have raised an issue on Github, will report back if I get a solution.

This is what upgraded since 29th:

That’s all which seems to be related to Qt directly. And that update from *-1 to *-2 was published on October 30th.

I tried to install vorta myself to check for issues, but it installed and started without problems.
Seems Vorta itself is relying on the Python Qt bindings for the user interface. And somehow the paths variables aren’t set correctly and don’t point to the correct locations anymore.

This post to the very same issue for a different application suggest to use an environment variable. You may want to check the same steps within the earlier posts of the same topic to check for the correct paths on your install.

Yeh, I saw that, I have pretty much tried everything short of sacrificing a virgin and bathing in their blood :rofl:

Yeah, I get that suggestion from help desks all the time. Never seems to work. :wink:

But seriously, my Vorta/Borg setup collapses from time to time and a clean re-install (say “yes” to rebuild files if using yay) seems to eventually do the trick. Sorry I can’t be of much meaningful help. Keep us posted.

I’m also on plasma wayland. It seems to still be running fine for me.
