Try launching with QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb eversticky

I haven't done any testing on Wayland - EverSticky doesn't officially support it at the moment. PR's welcome.

Hi @itsmejoeeey I have met the same issue, and tried your fix, but the issue persists. By the way my eversticky was installed via snap. Could you please advise? Thanks.

As a workaround, you can run it with:

DISABLE_WAYLAND=1 eversticky

What command would work for the snap version? The deb version of eversticky works on Ubuntu 22.04 even in the default Wayland session. But the snap version gives the error that people have been complaining about.

It should be the same - the snap binary should be on your PATH. If not try:

DISABLE_WAYLAND=1 /snap/bin/eversticky
