Snap build fails to find required plugin

Ok second punt at this. So my yaml is this.

  Rolisteam is a virtual tabletop software. It helps you to manage

  The goal is to make Rolisteam-managed RPG games as good as 
  RPG games around your table. 
  To achieve it, we are working hard to provide you more and more features.

Snapped rolisteam_1.9.0_amd64.snap

But when running the snap it barfs.

snap run rolisteam
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb"

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Aborted

I tried everything from my previous post and tried adding the plugin path by hand but still no joy.

What am I missing here?

Thanks.

Lin-Buo-Ren · April 13, 2019, 4:21pm

You have to incorporate the desktop-qt5 part and use the desktop-launch launcher to launch the application, refer snapcraft-desktop-helpers/snapcraft.yaml at master · ubuntu/snapcraft-desktop-helpers for more info.

veritanuda · April 13, 2019, 4:32pm

I see, and this will bring in the QT Plugin framework? So I essentially just need to add

  after: desktop-qt5

To the apps: section?

and

  desktop-launch $SNAP/usr/local/bin/rolisteam

to command ?

EDIT:

OK someone will have to be a little more specific please. That desktop-helpers seem to be a separate snap and is not in the default docker container so how am I supposed to use it ?

Lin-Buo-Ren · April 13, 2019, 4:49pm

Refer the following reply for more info:

veritanuda · April 13, 2019, 4:53pm

Hmm I see. I have to make a separate section to pull in the helpers into the confinement and then use them to pull in the desktop + plugins.

Ok … I will have a stab at that and let you know how I get on.

Thanks.

veritanuda · April 15, 2019, 10:43am

Ok well that fixed one error but now I have another

snap run rolisteam
libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
Unrecognized OpenGL version
Unrecognized OpenGL version
Could not find QtWebEngineProcess
Aborted

I added opengl to the snap yaml.

This is what is looks like now.

Check out https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwebengine-deploying.html#deploying-qt-webengine-processes

Good for them

veritanuda · April 15, 2019, 10:52am

Check out https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwebengine-deploying.html#deploying-qt-webengine-processes

Huh… that is talking about the build process? There is nothing wrong with the build process. There is something wrong with the runtime environment snap is emulating.

The irony is I used to get a warning about it not being included so I added the part

     build-attributes: [keep-execstack]

As that is what it recommended.

Was that wrong?

Lin-Buo-Ren · April 15, 2019, 10:54am

Maybe the QTWEBENGINEPROCESS_PATH environment variable will work?

veritanuda · April 15, 2019, 11:19am

Maybe the QTWEBENGINEPROCESS_PATH environment variable will work?

That does not really make much sense. The libs are already there in the path.

Lin-Buo-Ren · April 15, 2019, 11:30am

Unless you build QtWebengine from source it will always find the libraries in the libdir that is set during the configuration phase of the build, which is usually /usr/lib/*, not $SNAP/usr/lib/*

Also QtWebProcess is not a library, but an executable installed in the configured libexec dir.

veritanuda · April 15, 2019, 11:39am

QtWebProcess is not a library, but an executable installed in the configured libexec dir.

Yup that is there too.

find stage -name "*Process*"
stage/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/libexec/QtWebEngineProcess

So I should export the path to that?

veritanuda · April 15, 2019, 11:42pm

OK well I tried that and still no joy. Same error.

If this is still an issue then you likely are missing a stage package.

Add libglu1-mesa (and you already added the opengl plug. That should be enough.

This thread covers it. Adding OpenGL/GPU support to a snap

Lin-Buo-Ren · June 8, 2019, 6:57am

Hello, I’ve build the snap from your Snapcraft recipe and it launched properly, can you elaborate how to trigger the issue?

veritanuda · June 8, 2019, 10:34am

Can you post the yaml file you used? How did you build it, because I built it via docker (as recommended)

My build would never start it would just error with the above error about not being able to find x component.

Thanks.

Lin-Buo-Ren · June 8, 2019, 10:36am

Docker build is not a recommended practice at least for now, currently the recommended way to build snaps is via Multipass VM (which is the default).

Hmmm Multipass VM? Prefer a docker as at least I don’t have to faff around with a gui and extra cruft for a full Ubuntu. But if that is how it is supposed to be done I’ll try it that way.

So just out of curiosity how to you do the same to build for an arm platform ? I am not aware of any Ubuntu arm desktop images save the UBports stuff which is not really official Ubuntu.
