After updating to qt 5.3 in [testing], I found that cantata does not start up. Upon running from the terminal, I get the error:

$ cantata

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb".

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

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

However, reinstalling did not fix the problem. Downgrading qt to the version 5.2.1 in [extra] did. I believe that recompiling "cantata" with qt 5.3 might be required?

Thanks!

Have you checked the output of pacman and installed all needed qt5 optdepends?

There are no optdepends for cantata or any of the qt5 packages it depends on. -- Savyasachee Jha *"Aerodynamics is for people whodon't know how to build engines."*

Are you sure about that?

New optional dependencies for qt5-base gtk2: GTK2 plugin [installed] libsm: xcb plugin [installed] libxkbcommon-x11: xcb plugin mtdev: evdev plugin [installed]

I did not have libxkbcommon-x11 installed. And quite strangely, when I upgraded, I did not get the "new optional deps" thing. However, when I just downgraded and upgraded again, it appeared. I guess I caught the mirror at an inappropriate time. :) Thank you! -- Savyasachee Jha *"Aerodynamics is for people whodon't know how to build engines."*

Please create a bugreport, i will fix it then asap. On 20 May 2014 15:02, "Savyasachee Jha" wrote:

I should add that libxkbcommon-x11 should be added as a dep to cantata, for it does not run without it.

Just pushed cantata 1.3.4 to the repos

Thank you. It seems to be working perfectly. If anything seems out of order, I will file a bug report. -- Savyasachee Jha *"Aerodynamics is for people whodon't know how to build engines."*
