Discussion:
Shotcut cannot start Steps to reproduce the behavior: Get error message Shotcut works <!-- Please @ people who are in the list of the offending package or module. If in doubt, check for whoever last touched something. --- system: host os: multi-user?: sandbox: version: nixpkgs:
I cannot reproduce it for now, my system is system: host os: multi-user?: sandbox: version: channels(root): nixpkgs: Do you have anything qt related installed in your profile? Maybe there is even interaction with qt applications installed system-wide, if their version is different from 6.6.2. I guess we have to backport this shotcut/mlt version to nixos-23.11 to avoid this.
Thx for fast answer. Nope. I've tried to delete all other possible qt related apps, same result. I am running on sway. Is there a way i can help you to debug this issue?
I've tried to backport shotcut and mlt from unstable to 23.11 branch. Build succeeded but I am having the same error message if I am trying to run shotcut. Have no clue how to find that is wrong...
found it. It seems that it's just a missing qtwayland dependency. Works now. Anyway strange message from qt
could you provide a pull request to fix wayland support for shotcut? just adding qtwayland? (I have no wayland here.)
