[Solved] Debian 12, Wayland, Can't start after installation

QCAD Professional QCAD Installation and Upgrades

Hi,

I installed qcad-3.28.2-trial-linux-qt5.14-x86_64 in Debian 12 Wayland KDE
But it shows nothing after I click the Qcad icon.
I tried to start from terminal:

y@43s-1:~/opt/qcad-3.28.2-trial-linux-qt5.14-x86_64$ ./qcad
QCAD version 3.28.2

And it stops here.
What might be the problem?

Thanks.

Can you try to start QCAD with:

./qcad -platform xcb

For more information on this, please refer to:

Bottom line, your system likely tries to enforce running QCAD and other Qt apps using Wayland which is not recommended.

Thanks, Andrew, that solved the problem. It works perfectly now.
