Thanks, unfortunate timing then.

For reference, with Gnome shell / wayland I need to

unset QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME
unset QT_QPA_PLATFORM

to avoid 

Google Earth has caught signal 6.

You mean like my second comment minutes after the first, "Nevermind, it turned out I was missing a simple package I overlooked. lib32-glu, works now." You could have just added it to the pkgbuild with a simple reply and moved on rather than entering into a debate about how the audacity of my initial comment offended you. You're welcome by the way. Looking at your ongoing argument with some of the others you got going on, maybe if you dislike maintaining packages so intensely, you should hand it off to someone else.

Well, suggestions wouldn't really help with this particular problem, but in this case, yes, getting that dependency included was a beneficial thing to do. It's just the way you brought it up that wasn't. "needs (lib32-)glu" instead of the error message that already tells you what the problem is again would have saved time for me, although you did actually even solve the problem yourself. So useless? No, but annoyingly reminding me of all the other problems that _didn't_ benefit my package? Yeah.

TheWretched commented on 2013-10-11 23:24 (UTC)

Yeah, well in this case it's now in the pkgbuild and probably should have been in the first place as a dependency so if you feel that was a useless comment to bring it up then I'm not really sure what to suggest to you at this point.

"[...] combined with snotty why don't you figure it out yourself answers." I understand that and I know exactly how incredibly annoying times like these can be, but the fact is that this is simply what our own perspective has come to be. It's not a sweet fruit for us maintainers either having time and time again answer questions that had already been answered enough times before and/or that would have been so blatantly easy to just figure out yourself. The incessant flow of e-mail notifications doesn't really help either. And I'm not from the worst end either. Though I'm not in a position in this whole Linux community to make anybody "SHUT THE FUCK UP" like Linus Torvalds[1], I do still easily descend to these snotty responses I myself used to sigh at. And I still sigh at them whenever it's me and not somebody else. So, yes, that makes me a hypocrite, but no, it doesn't make me change my habits. I would rather have people spend 2 hours searching for a simple answer that is like shit to them rather than asking here. Because that's me and I've reached my end for these things.

One man's definition of easy is not necessarily equal to another. And things often seem easier in retrospect than they do when you don't know what the heck is going on yet. Also no I didn't know about the "site feature" of google until now.

@Superpiffer, 7.1.2.2019 is not yet for Linux.
