Testing the upgrade to Qt 5.12

@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).

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.

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 · 11 Sept 2020, 21:14

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

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

CiberSheep · 9 Nov 2020, 22:20

@dobey Nope. Nothing useful

Loading module: 'libubuntu_application_api_touch_mirclient.so.3.0.0'

I get the same for every confined app.

dobey · 11 Sept 2020, 22:22

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

CiberSheep · 9 Nov 2020, 22:24

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

I meant that all confined apps crashes, unconfined opens

dobey · 15 Sept 2020, 16:20

@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 · 15 Sept 2020, 17:21

@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 · 15 Sept 2020, 17:23

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

CiberSheep · 15 Sept 2020, 17:28

@dobey Roger. Thanks

lduboeuf · 16 Sept 2020, 07:08

@dobey
So on my BQ4.5, just did a full reinstall devel + ubports-qa ( i said "no" when asking to remove some packages ) still have most of apps and all webapps crashing at load time:
e.g: messaging-app, clock, weather, teleport, youtube webapp, gmail webapp.
Only working apps are Dialer, Address-book-app, Openstore, Gallery, Camera, Dekko ( blank screen ), FileManager

Fla · 16 Sept 2020, 07:25

We either have to find a way to provide logs to @dobey or send him the devices. Otherwise there is nothing he can do without more info than "the apps are crashing"...

lduboeuf · 16 Sept 2020, 07:38

@Fla yes, already did

dobey · 17 Sept 2020, 13:27

For Calculator there will be a new release soon which updates the math.js library, and should function on Qt 5.12. Thanks to Brian.

Messaging app opens fine but if you open a thread, the messages are jumbled and not displayed correctly

Can you get me the log file for messaging-app when this happens on Qt 5.12? You can send it to me on Telegram via PM, if you want, in case there's any personal info in it. I don't have any way to test this locally currently, as the old ofono-phonesim package conflicts with changes in 5.12 and I haven't gotten a newer version working yet.
