New build fails to run on Debian #19

Closed Tafnab closed 1 year ago

I was rebuilding this for Debian 11 (MX 21). The build was successful, but the program will not open a window, and hangs immediately. Kernel 5.18.0, Qt 5.15.2. Can't see any log files, so sorry can't offer any insight.

Out of town at the moment, but I'll fire up a VM when I get back and investigate sometime next week

@Tafnab, what Desktop Environment are you using?

CountMurphy commented 1 year ago

Just built it in Debian 11. Seems to work fine in gnome:

I think I see whats happening. Once you run the program, do you see an orange alarm clock icon in your taskbar? xfce

If so, all you got to do is click it and the window will show. I have a preferences area in the app that can set if the window shows on load. When it starts for the first time that setting blank. Looks like under gnome the window just shows. XFCE, it doesn't. I'll tweak the code for the next release to have a default setting (show window). Can you confirm that's what happening on your end?

That's got it. Thanks.

Default show window behavior implemented in latest version
