Problem with Qt apps
 

Hello.
I bought my N900 a few weeks ago and it was flashed with PR1.2 straight away. Since then any Qt-based application or game I tryed absolutely didn't work.
I know that with 1.2 qt version was updated up to 4.6 and some applications,written for PR1.1 don't work. But still even the latest Qt apps(like TweeGo in ext-devel) don't work. In fact,I've tryed almost all available Qt-based applications and non of them worked at all.
Would appreciate some help.

In what way are they not working - do they fail to run at all, or do they crash after starting, or what?

When I press the icon in the menu,phone tryes to open it showing black screen and in the status on top of the screen there's a name of the app.After about 10 secs it's automatically closed and I'm on the desktop.
So basically fail to run at all.

It this is happening with all of them, I'd suggest reflashing your phone (probably the eMMC as well as the firmware) using "flasher". You'd best check the downloaded firmware images are not corrupt as well (check the md5sums against those posted on the firmware download site).

Try to start the application from an XTerminal and look for interesting output there.

If you get a window with the application name, it sounds as if you at least managed to start it but that something else is failing.

This may be the same issue: problem with Alarmed and Python+QT (anybody know how to fix this?). The symptoms are the same, at least. As suggested, run your app in the terminal and paste the output.

I'm far from being a power-user and would appreciate an advice how to run an app from XTerm+)

Re: Problem with Qt apps
 

Run "X Terminal" from your applications menu. A text console will open. Type in the full path and program name and press Enter. In my case, the full program name is "/opt/alarmed/alarmed.py", but this depends on what are you trying to run, obviously.

That must be funny but I can't find where the phone installed "TweeGo". At least it's not in /opt for sure.
And not in /home/opt too...

Ok,I've installed qTranslate,the brand new Qt-based app from extra-devel rep which supposed to work for sure and I can't even find the path to run it from XTerm...Is it normal? And yes,it doesn't work in normal way.

Re: Problem with Qt apps
 

Well, to be honest, I don't think you should mess around with XTerm if you are not a power user.

Just back up everything, reflash the firmware (+EMMC), and tell us whether it solved your issue or not.
If you wish to manage without a reflash, it's possible, but XTerm is needed then.
