I think the issue is:
echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
Try the following workaround for now:
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb ./BlockstreamGreen-x86_64.AppImage
The root issue is that the previous version worked on the exact same system that the update doesn't work on. I was always running Wayland, as most modern GNU/Linux systems do at this point. Shouldn't the update run fine without user input? The Green AppImage is the only variable that has changed, so I don't see how that suggests an issue with AppImage or Wayland. I appreciate the workaround though. For the record, it didn't work.
Shouldn't the update run fine without user input?
Yes, it will be fixed in the next release.
The Green AppImage is the only variable that has changed
Yes, here are the changes that caused this issue:
Internally Qt will pick the qpa plugin according to the environment, and it's selecting wayland. But seems that you are experiencing similar issues as:
https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-qt/issues/916 https://github.com/cnr-isti-vclab/meshlab/issues/738
For the record, it didn't work.
Not sure if you noticed a typo in the workaround command, if not please try again.
@mattkwarren I believe this has been fixed, please reopen otherwise. Just update to 1.2.3. You can also get the flatpak https://flathub.org/apps/com.blockstream.Green
I'm getting the same issue with version 2.0.3 here. The workaround doesn't work for me too.
$ QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb ./BlockstreamGreen-x86_64.AppImage
qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display
qt.qpa.plugin: From 6.5.0, xcb-cursor0 or libxcb-cursor0 is needed to load the Qt xcb platform plugin.
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Available platform plugins are: xcb.
Aborted
Trying to use 1.1.8 just in case i don't get the error message but it still aborts:
$ QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb ./BlockstreamGreen-x86_64\(2\).AppImage
Aborted
@darosior please install libxcb-cursor0 and try again.
