    Description

      Hello,

      There is an ongoing issue with Qt 6 which causes menus to not be available whenever a Qt app is running on a headless system (e.g. a system with no screen attached).

      For instance, it's easily reproducible with Qt Creator on a raspberry pi :

      • Install Qt Creator on Debian Bookworm
      • Run a VNC and X server or something like NoMachine NX
      • Access the Raspberry desktop remotely
      • Open Qt Creator and try to click in a menu : it won't show up.

       

      Here are many reports of it on the internet:
