Anyone get fs-uae working?

Help
1

I installed fs-uae and fs-uae-launcher but can’t get them working. When I run fs-uae-launcher I get the followinfg:

qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in ""
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Aborted (core dumped)

Any ideas?

Is there anyone willing to try to get this working?

Here is the complete output I get when I try to run it:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try using only fs-uae and see how that goes. Unlike the launcher, fs-uae doesn’t use Qt. Nix packages which use Qt require some additional code which is currently missing in the fs-uae-launcher package.

5

Yes. That works. But I am wanting to get fs-uae-launcher working. What is required to get Qt running with fs-uae-launcher?

6

The package needs to be fixed as described here: NixOS - Nixpkgs 21.11 manual

7

you can log it there, or try and fix the derivation yourself if you want to do something good for the world.

I’d probably like to get my amiga enviroment working again on nixos :-)…

8

hang on, how did you ‘install this’? i’ve just tried it, and seem to work fine?

9

What? Is fs-uae-launcher working for you?

I installed by adding fsuae and fsuae-launcher to my home.nix.

10

i installed via nix-shell , and it was fine. It may be some other problem apparent within the derivation… nix-shell can have impurity… i’m sure if i do nix-shell --pure i’ll get failing results.

11

So I tried installing using nix-env -iA nixos.fsuae-launcher, but after the install, I still get the same error.

Is that what you meant by installing via nix-shell? If not, what did you mean?

Edit: Also tried nix-shell -p fsuae-launcher and that doesn’t work either.

12

please raise an issue for in on github, and i’ll take a look.

13

Where is the github?
