0.96.4: Not starting under Linux Mint 20. using qt5ct plugin Segmentation fault (core dumped)

[HansMuller]

Hello,
when I start it (via command) the following message is displayed and xnviewmp does not work:

qt5ct: using qt5ct plugin
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

After deleteting the file "~/.config/qt5ct/qt5ct.conf" it works again but looks different (as then does VLC e.g)...

Regards

I can confirm this too. It only happens if "gtk2" is selected under qt5ct.

In a terminal run the command qt5ct, then select any other style besides gtk2.

This is a messy workaround, since XnViewMP (or any Qt5-based applications) will not match the theme and colors of the rest of your desktop.

@ winnylinny, Thanks! I did not know about the qt5ct tool. Got me in.

Some old version of libfreetype started getting shipped in 0.95.
libfreetype depends on libfontconfig, but since libfontconfig is not provided in the archive and the system , we need to remove this old libfreetype version so that Xnview uses the system newer libfreetype.

sudo rm /opt/XnView/lib/libfreetype.so

Tip from AUR Archlinux
Working perfectly
