Summary: QTWayland bug yet solved in Qt 6.3.0 for X11
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasma-wayland-protocols
Version: 1.10.0
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED

SUMMARY
There is a QTWayland that has been solved in Qt 6.3.0 for X11. Is related to
how QTWayland works in some distros when looking for "libvulkan.so" library.
Some Linux distros, like openSUSE or Fedora, name that library as
"libvulkan.so.1", so is not find by QT.
Issue is identified and solved here
https://github.com/qt/qtbase/commit/888b75aa12e2cf35ee760bcf5cb1ed60fe0c0770
too and could be applied easily to Qt 5.15.x.
Please fix it ASAP, cause many users have issues in applications under Wayland
when their distros have not "libvulkan.so" but "libvulkan.so.1" and it's really
a headache for programmers to detect what's happening.
Thank you
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch an application installed from some distros repositories that needs
"libvulkan.so"
OBSERVED RESULT
Usually, at console, application will show some message similar to:
initInstance: No Vulkan library available
Failed to create platform Vulkan instance
despite, in fact, Vulkan related packages are installed
EXPECTED RESULT
To search for "libvulkan.so.1" too and do not fail
