Re: Leo doesn't start because of some Qt-problems

[Jacob Peck]

Thomas, their very first post in this thread indicated they did run with that env var set. Please try (re-)installing qt6-utilis.  That fixed it on my Arch install, and I assume Endeavor uses the arch packages.

Try them both if the first doesn't do the job.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. Everything with "xcb" in its name seems installed (I'am on endeavourOS). Any idea, how I could proceed? What I did so far: - Update the whole system (endeavourOS) - Update Leo from PYPI Cheers Paul -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
