Interesting, I haven't come across that one before. It is most likely due to using 16.04 Would you be able to try on 20.04 and see if you have the same error?
It is very convenient for me to test it on Kubuntu 18.04.
Do you think I would get the same test results if I don't install a distro, but simply boot it from a live USB drive (without any persistence)? Then I wouldn't mind trying Kubuntu 20.04 or some other Ubuntu-based 20.04-s. On the other hand if I actually need to install the distro on a device, then I would need to find the time and motivation for an hour or two just to test this.
I imagine a live USB should be just as good! Would also be interested in your 18.04 results.
libxcb-xinerama0
was not needed for my (dirty) Kubuntu 18.04. (The previously mentioned Kubuntu 16.04 distro was also dirty - not fresh out of the box and has a lot of various software and customizations). So I guess the answer to my first question is probably "no" - most people can find the solution in this opening post if they have that same issue. I can still try the Ubuntu 20.04 at some point as well, but more likely than not, this is a 16.04 issue.
Thanks for testing either way! We're now encouraging people to use https://github.com/trigg/Discover instead. It is much cleaner, doesn't rely on the streamkit and is much less heavy on resource usage!
Ah! Glad you updated the readme right away as well so less effort spread between the projects. I will try it out one of these days...
This is how I installed dependencies and the project on Kubuntu 16.04:
But when running the project, (via .desktop file or from CLI (example below)), I got this error:
Didn't find the core dump. But found instructions to get more debug info with the flag
QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1
. Long debug output:I could run the project fine after:
Question 1:
Should
libxcb-xinerama0
also be dependency in README.md? Is it Ubuntu specific? Is it Ubuntu 16.04 LTS specific?Question 2:
Should I make a pull request to add these properly formatted Ubuntu-specific instruction (pip3 and all; can be hidden under "details" maybe) to the README.md?
I believe this will both make it easier for many people to use your software AND it will reduce the number of support requests, since they will have super clear instructions what to do. I can also test it on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS before making such a pull request.
