Qt based applications do not work over SSH X forwarded connection
Last modified: 2018-06-20 14:02:44 UTC
Created attachment 774683 [details] frozen YaST2 Qt interface After one of the recent TW updates (cannot tell the exact version), a few Qt based applications stopped working over SSH X forwarding. Tested with Qt Creator, a custom built Qt application (OO Mapper) and YaST2. At the same time some other X based applications work fine - xterm, xmessage, git gui, gitk. Example replication procedure (from the attached picture): lpechacek@fm:~> ssh -X -l user germ146.suse.cz Last login: Wed Jun 20 15:45:26 2018 from 10.100.13.15 Have a lot of fun... user@germ146:~> /usr/sbin/yast2 --qt # ... window appears but remains black # strace shows events are delivered to the application With TW 20180530 these Qt applications worked fine. According to https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2018-06/msg00076.html KDE apps are affected too and the issue first appeared with TW 20180606.
A fix has been submitted a week ago already, but is still stuck in staging... https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/616864 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1097227 ***
