Managed to install Jani in Linux (LXDE/ Lubuntu, I used the oldest version) and the screen looks like a checkerboard and is unreadable.
Help!
Hello,
That’s very strange. What version of Lubuntu are you using? (so I could try to reproduce the issue)
Thanks. I tried with both Lubuntu 20.04.3 and Lubuntu 21.04, and was not able to reproduce the issue; the Jami window looked normal in both.
I wonder if this could be a graphics driver related issue? Have you seen similar artifacts with any other applications? (especially those based on the Qt framework, like Jami)
No, never had an issue like this before. Can’t say if I’ve used any other Qt framework software though, but if you can point me towards some I’ll try it and see if I get the same issue. If that’s the case, then it’s most likely my machine.
I see. As for other Qt applications, I believe many/most of Lubuntu’s default applications are Qt-based; such as its file manager PCManFM-Qt, its calculator KCalc, the included 2048-Qt game, etc. So perhaps you could try those.
For what it’s worth, I don’t recall encountering anything like this ever before. It might perhaps be helpful to launch Jami from a terminal and see if there are any useful Qt-related errors or warnings printed.
LDXE uses gcalculator says it’s GTK+ based, file manager is PCManFM uses LibFM, No Qt games.
Here’s a dump from running Jami from command line (only way I can launch it BTW)
:~$ jami

Sorry, I had mistakenly downloaded newer versions of Lubuntu, which come with the LXQt desktop environment – which is Qt-based – rather than the GTK-based LXDE.
This time I tried with the older Lubuntu 18.04.5 which comes with LXDE. I tested both jami (Qt-based) and jami-gnome (GTK-based) and they both loaded up just fine. I also installed the three above applications that I’d mentioned, by running sudo apt install pcmanfm-qt kcalc 2048-qt, and they all loaded just fine.
Looking at the client logs you pasted, I don’t see anything relevant and/or hinting at the issue in them.
P.S. I edited your post to better format the snippet of logs you pasted.
