Cannot start QCad

Post by daxq » Tue Feb 07, 2023 8:57 pm

Tried Googling, but having no luck figuring this out. I have installed QCad on a BeeLink Debian Linux computer:

QCad version is 3.27.8

I am sure the program was initially running fine then just stopped. Not sure what I did (or accidentally removed from my system) to cause it to stop displaying the program (it just silently runs in the background without displaying any graphical interface) - I see the errors its generating, but do not understand how to resolve it (I have tried deleting the entire /opt installation and reinstalling to no avail):

I am guessing something package I may have uninstalled might have grabbed a required package from QCad, but just do not know.
Any suggestions or assistance greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Have a try with the latest release.
Ensure you have the correct installation file or package for your system.

Perhaps first removing anything related with QCAD is a good idea.
Including removing/renaming the QCAD.ini/config file.

Regards,
CVH

I do see that a new version just came out, and will try that as well - but I did completely remove the QCad install folder /home/opt/qcad... and try reinstalling it to no avail. Unless the QCad.ini is not kept in that folder, pretty sure I got it too. Thanks for the response, will see if .9 makes a difference.

Normally it is not situated in the installation folder:

Well I found out I was having issues with my hard drive on that computer and had to install a new drive and reinstall the OS anyway - so its got a definitely clean install now! and is running again - thanks for your information and assistance. You were also correct on the config file - I had not cleared that when I did my reinstall of the software - so thanks for that as well.

Well I spoke too soon - I had to rebuild this desktop (cause of issues with the M.2 ssd) so I brought it into work and rebuilt things just as before with a new M.2 - and everything was working great at work. Now that the computer is up and running at home, I am getting the same issue - clicking the Qcad icon gets the program running in the background, but there is no GUI interface. The only thing different from work (aside from the LAN) where I built this, is the monitor - at work I was using a ViewSonic display - at home I'm using an older LG TV @ 1360x768 ~16:9 - is it possible that its the odd resolution and display is causing the graphics to fail to launch? When I get home i'll try to find a different display to use - but I never would've guessed that to cause the program to fail to run?

Most probably it is not the used monitor.

I find similar warnings as yours here:
https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic. ... ion#p35924
https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic. ... ion#p30446

It seems that in both cases using the Qt 5.14 package solved the issue. :wink:

Well this has got me pretty perplexed and im probly just too noob in linux - but I do not find a QT install on either of my desktops:
Work desktop: BeeLink SER5 - Debian Bullseye - XFCE4 - QCad working fine
Home desktop: BeeLink MiniS - Debian Bullseye - XFCE4 - QCad no worky
Unless the QT libraries are included in the /opt folder that QCad put in my /home/daxq/opt folder? And then I don't understand why it is working on the SER5 unless it has more to do with the hardware:

either way, it really seems odd that QCad ran fine when I was at work on the MiniS using the Viewsonic - after its initial install. Why would it break when I got it home? I think I can get QT5.15 to install on the home MiniS Debian system, but do not know how to tell QCad to use it?

Code: Select all

daxq@BeeLinkMini:~$ qmake --version
QMake version 3.1
Using Qt version 5.15.2 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
Or does it have to be 5.14 only to work?

I see that you used the qcad-3.27.8-trial-linux-x86_64 package.
That is the one under the QCAD logo on the download page .. QCAD Professional Trial .. Linux .. 64bit Installer.
https://www.ribbonsoft.com/en/download
Now scroll down on that page to see more options.

That's what I meant by:

The version doesn't really matter for now.
Only, every update may include novelties and/or some bug fixes.

This is how far I can help you ... I am a Win user.

I think i just misread your post - and was unaware of more download types available lower. I am now trying the install package with the 5.14 on it and will see what that brings. Seems to be running now, ill see if it sticks! Thanks.
