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:
