I'm using Wayland session on Debian 11 (sid). Installed QtCreator from their website via .sh script but it doesn't launch. When running from '~/Qt/Tools/QtCreator/bin' directory in the terminal I get:

Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway. qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "wayland" in "" This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, xcb.

Aborted

Tried

QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland ./qtcreator

and

export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland 
./qtcreator

and

./qtcreator --platform=wayland

Also tried installing qt 6.0.3 and 5.15.

No luck, qtcreator doesn't launch.

  • welcome to [so], a programmer's forum. it seems your question is not related to programming at all, so you probably should ask on [su] instead. (just because the program you try to launch happens to be development related doesn't make the question a programming question; if the harddisk on your development computer dies, resurrecting it won't be a programming question either) – umläute Apr 19 '21 at 10:28

    Try installing the package qt5-wayland if it not already installed. – Farshid616 Apr 19 '21 at 12:43

    @umläute, From [the help](https://stackoverflow.com/help/on-topic): Questions about general computing hardware and software are off-topic for Stack Overflow __unless they directly involve tools used primarily for programming.__ (the emphasis is mine). I kindly suggest you to retract your close vote. – scopchanov Apr 20 '21 at 11:39
