Hello, i’m trying to install Qt Linguist 6 on my system but none of the provided packages in rock gives me a gui or an icon to open the app
any hint?or maybe those found in repos are just other files and not for the gui itself?
in case, can i make a package request about this?
i would really prefer to have it native rather than a flatpak
thank you
I tried installing Qt Linguist’s GUI, no success.
Not entirely sure but I think the GUI is in the qt5-qttools package. That requires KDE Plasma 5 though.
Would not qt6-qttools.x86_64 work?
I also notice qt6-qttools-linguist.x86_64 and qt6-qttools-linguist-tools.x86_64 in the repo.
I tried all 3 of those packages. No app was added.
unfortunately none of those provided me a gui
i’ve seen other distros only providing a qt-linguist package, like example qt6-linguist-6.9.2-1, maybe it’s worth having a look?
why would we need to have a gui and a backend (the tools package) when it can be a single package? (just asking out of ignorance, forgive me)
I have no idea. I’ve had similar issues (no icon or launcher) with some stuff, even a flatpak for FreePascal.
I’m not sure if this should be a bug report or a package request, to be honest, someone more knowledgeable than me should know, but I suspect it should be a bug report, as all of these are in our repo.
Both of these are in the repos for Rock:
yes, tried those already, and neither of those gives me a gui or an icon to click on…
Are you able to open it at all?
how should i open it?i have no icon on the grid
maybe you know the right terminal command to open it, cause i tried various commands but i didn’t find the right one…
I only know one language, so the program would be useless for me. My guess is, this is the path:
/usr/lib64/qt6/bin/linguist
Your other post says you are using GNOME. Do you also have Plasma installed? Does the icon show up there? I have seen some issues with the Menu in the profile not updating properly with some applications. If the binary is there and you have a way to refresh the listings in a GNOME menu (or test in Plasma) then we can rule out if there are packaging issues.
Hello, so i tried opening libremenu which does list all the executables in the app grid and there was no sign of qt linguist
i suppose i can try to download a kde image of openmandriva and try it in boxes
so, downloaded the openmandriva regular iso with kde and installed it in boxes
i installed all the three packages with dnfdrake and no icon was present at all
Could you see if this will run from the terminal, please?
seems like this correctly launches the application, so it’s just the icon that isn’t created i suppose…
That’s good to hear. Should be an easy fix then. Just need to make a .desktop file for the binary so you can launch it with one click.
I do not really know anything about these linguist packages.
In Rock Plasma6 (should work the same in ROME or Cooker):
Install: sudo dnf in qt6-qttools-linguist qt6-qttools-linguist-tools --refresh
The command installs: qt6-qttools-linguist qt6-qttools-linguist-tools qt6-qttranslations-linguist version 6.9.0-1 plus dependencies.
Executable: /usr/lib64/qt6/bin/linguist
How do you open it? Copy and paste the executable in a terminal as user and hit the enter key.
You can make your own menu entry in Plasma6 with KDE Menu Editor. Don’t know about Gnome but I am sure you can do the same in Gnome
Otherwise I have no idea why this does not work for you. But I know it works, easily, in Rock Plasma6.
Edit: This command shows the packages that I installed:
$ rpm -qa | grep linguist
qt6-qttools-linguist-tools-6.9.0-1.x86_64
qt6-qttools-linguist-6.9.0-1.x86_64
qt6-qttranslations-linguist-6.9.0-1.x86_64
The issue is this package is not adding the .desktop file.
Yeah, I missed reading a couple of post, oh well.
For the missing .desktop file >>> file a bug report or rely on peoples memory. One of those is better than the other.
Here is the file in the sources:
