Kde Package Minuet installs but missing lessons

Help

After adding kdePackages.minuet and opening the application I am greeted with the following:

I was expecting a “First-run configuration wizard” which did not happen.
Clicking on any of the topics open the related sub topic however bottom level categories do not contain any lesson links and the main panel remains blank.
Running ‘minuet’ from the command line contains only warnings and no errors.
I’m unable to locate any config or data related to minuet in my home directory.

Not sure about any config or wizard.
I can click into Chords > Combined > Major Chords and I do get an actual quiz:

All other quizzes I spot-checked loaded correctly.
FWIW I’m using nixos-unstable.

Thanks for replying. I’m on stable branch. I did check Chords > Combined > Major Chords just in case however it’s still blank for me. The ‘first run config’ is a bullet point from the KDE Minuet web page so it may not be important.

I also just tried the unstable package by adding the channel and then inserting:

let unstable = import <nixos-unstable> { config = { allowUnfree = true; }; }; in
...
environment.systemPackages = [
  unstable.kdePackages.minuet
...
];

However, after a lengthy switch, the result was identical (program runs however no lessons). Any suggestions on how I can debug this further?

Sometimes running an application from cli results in more output, such logs can maybe help you.

Thanks for replying: I mentioned that I ran it from the command line with no errors in the original post. I’ll include that output here for reference just in case:

I’ve also scanned the regular log spots and there doesn’t seem to be any that I could find.
Note I am a long time dual boot Linux user but only been using NixOS for 3 weeks. I could have easily missed a log.

Further investigation of available information around Minuet documentation reveals that you can add custom lessons to the “qtpaths --paths GenericDataLocation” along side the base lessons.
Running this command appears not to include any reference to Minuet on my system ( added “| grep minuet” to be sure).
I checked the nix store for minuet and the lesson files as described are in the share directory.
I suspect that the share path was not added in my instance.
I’m looking on how to add this path to the qtpaths however I would prefer a pure nix fix if possible.

EDIT-- I have found the minuet lesson files under /etc/profiles/per-user//share/ so the above information is likely of limited use. –
