Cool-retro-term failed to load component

snap

Hi all
I can’t run cool-retro-term. I installed it in classic mode:

sudo snap install cool-retro-term --classic

However:

$ cool-retro-term 
QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component
qrc:/main.qml:143 Type SettingsWindow unavailable
qrc:/SettingsWindow.qml:39 Type SettingsGeneralTab unavailable

I appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance

I had an snap update, but the problem remains:

$ snap --version
snap    2.37.2
snapd   2.37.2
series  16
ubuntu  18.04
kernel  4.15.0-45-generic

Could it be that these modules are missing from the snap?

  • qml-module-qt-labs-settings
  • qml-module-qt-labs-folderlistmodel

Thanks in advance

Another minor snapd update, but the problem remains:

$ snap --version
snap    2.37.4
snapd   2.37.4
series  16
ubuntu  18.04
kernel  4.15.0-46-generic

have you contacted the snap author?

7

No. I thought this was better, or that he was around this forum.

Shall I email the author (Filippo Scognamiglio - flscogna@gmail.com) directly?

8

at this point, I’d say yes: contact them via email directly, and point them to this topic

Hi guys. I’m sorry, but I completely missed this thread. I’ll take a look at it as soon as possible.

I included the two packages in the snapcraft file. It’s already on edge. Let me know if this fixes the issue.

Thank you so much @Swordfish90 It is working beautifully:

sudo snap install --channel=edge cool-retro-term --classic

You’re welcome. I just promoted this to stable.
