Testing the upgrade to Qt 5.12

CiberSheep

Today I have:

installed RC image (from System Settings)
removed some old apps
installed Dev image
Installed the updagrade

I got this warning before installing it:

Calculating upgrade... Done

  libqgsttools-p1 libqt5multimediaquick-p5 qtdeclarative5-accounts-plugin

Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.

and this after installing:

I have been testing some apps:
Work:

OpenStore
Dialer
Address Book
Camera
Gallery
UTTT
System Settings
Linphone

Crash after splash:

Calendar
Calculator
Weather
Clock

I did a test with a clickable create qml app. Unconfined opens, confined crashed on start

The only difference when doing clickable logs is:
confined:
Loading module: 'libubuntu_application_api_touch_mirclient.so.3.0.0'

unconfined:

Loading module: 'libubuntu_application_api_touch_mirclient.so.3.0.0'
Creating a QMirClientScreen now

@CiberSheep That is not a warning, and it is correct behavior. Those packages will not be in the rootfs any more, after Qt 5.12 lands.

I found an another issue: apps are unable to save settings, settings are not saved after app restart. Settings from .config folder are loaded fine. Happens with Podbird, OpenStore, Quickddit and more
Found in log from QQC2 Gallery app:

file:///opt/click.ubuntu.com/qqc2-gallery.ubad/1.0.7/qml/Main.qml:67:5: QML Settings: Failed to initialize QSettings instance. Status code is: 1

@danqo6 Odd. It's working fine with Authenticator NG.

Edit: Also just tried OpenStore and QQC2 Gallery, and both work fine (though scaling gets broken in the latter when switching to styles other than Suru).

@kugiigi said in Testing the upgrade to Qt 5.12:

PDFs are blank in Document viewer except in slideshow mode. Libreoffice files crashes the app.

OK. Finally tried this in my VM, and there's nothing in the log unfortunately. There was one issue about an undefined object, which I resolved to no avail.

Looking at the source, it seems the poppler back-end requires qtdeclarative5-private-dev which means it likely must be re-compiled against Qt 5.12 to work.

@CiberSheep said in Testing the upgrade to Qt 5.12:

Crash after splash:

I'm unable to replicate a crash with any of these apps mentioned. Only thing close is Calculator which becomes frozen, apparently due to the changes regarding the JavaScript Object, and it cannot initialize the MathJS code.

There are some issues with Calendar using the long-deprecated Tabs component, and week/month/year views overlaying on top of the tabs, along with some pre-existing warnings coming from uitk.

Weather had a few warnings, but was otherwise working fine, and I've submitted a PR to fix the new warnings in it.

Clock seems to work fine.

All of these were tested on my Nexus 4.

@dobey I have update to latest dev and sudo ubports-qa update with same result.
Anything useful I can send?

dobey

@CiberSheep Is there nothing in the log files for the apps? And nothing in the unity8.log file about them?

unity8.log

From unity8.log booted and try to open Sheep Counter (crashes):

Clock (crashes):

OpenStore (opens):
https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/25YDQ74ZCS/

dobey

@CiberSheep And there is no log file for sheepcounter itself? Does it not say anything useful if there is?

CiberSheep

@dobey Nope. Nothing useful

Loading module: 'libubuntu_application_api_touch_mirclient.so.3.0.0'

I get the same for every confined app.

dobey

@CiberSheep That happens for all apps and is normal. What device is this on?

CiberSheep

@dobey E5HD
Any other log / test that could be helpful? I wouldn't know where to look

@dobey said in Testing the upgrade to Qt 5.12:

I meant that all confined apps crashes, unconfined opens

dobey

@CiberSheep I don't know at this point. Nothing about what you say is happening makes any sense at all. I wonder if someone else with the e5HD or e4.5 could replicate the problem. I don't have either device unfortunately, though.

CiberSheep

@dobey I see.
To revert the changes of this, is enough to delete ~/apt/cache and ~/apt/lists and installing the image that downloads when changing channel to RC?

dobey

@CiberSheep Yes, a full flash with either switching channels or using the installer, should do.

CiberSheep

@dobey Roger. Thanks
