Describe the bug

I am using nix on ubuntu 18.04. I tried to install qutebrozser. I get this error:

I've had the same problem with Mathematica 12 which I was able to work around by:

export USE_WOLFRAM_LD_LIBRARY_PATH=1
export QT_XCB_GL_INTEGRATION=none

The first statement is of course specific to Mathematica but I believe the second one should fix other Qt applications as well.

How is it when you use nixos-19.03?

FRidh on 17 Aug 2019

the same works fine on nixo-19.03

parisni on 17 Aug 2019

Seems the same kind of issue of https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/4429.

rnhmjoj on 25 Aug 2019

You should try running the KDE Falkon browser (it uses QtWebEngine) to see if the problem is in QtWebEngine or is specific to qutebrowser.

rnhmjoj on 25 Aug 2019

indeed, the problem applies to falkon too:

qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in ""
Fatal: This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling > the application may fix this problem.

parisni on 29 Aug 2019

Not really, that error is probably due to https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/65399.
EDIT: It definitely was that. I submitted a PR to fix this unrelated problem. You should be able to try again once it's accepted.

Ok, it should be fixed in the unstable channel. Can you update your channel and try falkon again?

rnhmjoj on 3 Sep 2019

nix-channel --update
nix-env -i falkon

is that what you asked ?

parisni on 4 Sep 2019

is that what you asked ?

Yes, thank you. This confirms that whatever the issue is related to QtWebEngine.

rnhmjoj on 4 Sep 2019

Confirming issue. Can't run qutebrowser on ubuntu 18.04, too.

This also applies on archlinux

parisni on 9 Nov 2019

Still the case after the recent update to 1.8.2 (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/33d18156f957e48f06598d73b3467c89a12565d5)

I wonder if it's an issue with openGL in nixpkgs...
Do you have simular errors when running other programs that create openGL contexts?
Maybe try running glxinfo/glxgears from nixpkgs and the other package manager.

rnhmjoj on 29 Nov 2019

I have the same problem, but with the package anki. I use Ubuntu 19.10. Freshly installed Nix. nix-channel --list returns nixpkgs https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable. Run from terminal, anki returns this:

Tried installing Ubuntu package qt5-default and then separately qtwebengine5-dev, didn't help. Tried installing Nix package qt5.full, didn't help. Rebooting doesn't change anything.

sindikat on 15 Dec 2019

@sindikat: Can you try to run a different openGL program in nixpkgs? Like glxinfo/glxgears should do. I'd like to know if the issue is limited to qtwebengine or whole nixpkgs.

rnhmjoj on 15 Dec 2019

Installed package glxinfo from Nix. Trying to run:

name of display: :0
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig

Removed it & installed mesa-utils in Ubuntu. Both glxinfo and glxgears work fine.

same behavior for me

Pinging @vcunat as mesa maintainer. I'm not sure who else could help here...

rnhmjoj on 18 Dec 2019

If that's the issue, OpenGL in nixpkgs on non-NixOS is still troublesome, I suppose. Years ago I decided not spend my time on that combination, as no easy solution could be found (EDIT: well, that seems an understatement). There are some discussion threads here – people were sometimes able to make their use case work. You might want to try https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/62177 (and/or look at the tickets linked in this PR's description)

I can confirm that @hmenke's suggestion (using QT_XCB_GL_INTEGRATION) works with qutebrowser as well. Is there any point in getting this into nixpkgs?
