@mrgrim Thank you, this immediately solved the issue!

The Qt 6.7 problem is an issue where xdg-open inherits the environment of the Plex app causing kde-open to try to load the Qt 6.6 libraries from /opt/plex-desktop/lib due to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH set in Plex.sh.

This can be solved by editing the RUNPATH of the binaries using chrpath then removing the LD_LIBRARY_PATH line from Plex.sh. It turns out The main Plex library has a working RUNPATH but includes a bunch of automation cruft. The transcoding binary does NOT have it set, and QtWebEngineProcess needs no changes. In /opt/plex-desktop/bin run:

chrpath -r '$ORIGIN/../lib' Plex
chrpath -r '$ORIGIN/../lib' Plex\ Transcoder

However, this only exposes additional issues with all of the Qt environment variables set in this script. I couldn't find a super clean way to fix this, but interestingly enough KDE uses a little utility for their AppImage deployments to deal with this exact problem:

https://invent.kde.org/brauch/appimage-exec-wrapper/

Compile it and copy the exec.so file into /opt/plex-desktop/lib then alter Plex.sh like this:

This could even allow using LD_LIBRARY_PATH and not using chrpath. The choice is yours. Using chrpath seems cleaner but pulls in a dependency.

@username227 no, it doesn't solve the issue

@skjnldsv, does installing webkit2gtk solve your issue, by any chance?

GUI doesn't open for me: In the plex log: ERROR - Fatal error: qrc:/views/WebWindow.qml: module "gtk2" is not installed

I am also having this Qt_6.7 not found error when trying to sign in, but instead of talking about kde-open, mine says 'qutebrowser: Fatal Error!', which is the web browser I use. I'm also using i3 and X11 and have the latest qt6 version.

Edit: I found a workaround for now: I changed my xdg default web browser to firefox to sign in, then switching it back after signing in.

You can run xdg-settings get default-url-scheme-handler to see your current default, then run xdg-settings set default-web-browser firefox.desktop, and try to sign in again.

@username227

I tried testing both of my issues on xfce4, i3, gnome, cinnnamon, mate, and lxqt. The issues persist regardless of DE. Plex will not run without export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb set in Plex.sh, and I always get the version `Qt_6.7' not found error when trying to sign in.

I'm at a loss at this point. qt6-base is installed as version 6.7.2-1. I'm using the nvidia proprietary drivers version 555.58.02, and nvidia_drm.modeset=1 nvidia_drm.fbdev=1 nvidia.NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0 are set as kernel parameters.

@username227

I don't know that either of my issues are exclusive to Wayland. I have a separate issue starting X11 sessions, and I'm waiting on help on the forum, so I can't test it there. I have the same issue as @SprobbyBlongo with the GUI on Wayland, but it launches fine with Xwayland when I added export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb to Plex.sh. I can't test video playback with my library until I resolve the sign-in issue, but trying to watch anything in Plex Discover is unwatchable. Of course the ads play fine. I'll try to test both issues on another desktop environment when I get a chance and I'll report back.

In general, it sounds from the error message that KDE is having trouble finding the qt6 installation. I wonder if there is some sort of environment variable (QT_DIR or Qt6_DIR?) that needs to be set. But I am unsure.

Unclear how this is related to wayland specifically. Can you elaborate?
