QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.

[ImAli]

I am trying to run a program on pycharm and I am having this warning:

Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use 
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.

Can anyone suggest how to set

QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland

?

Hi
Its an environment variable
so you can set it before running the app or on a global scale.

@mrjj could you please explain how to do that? I tried

export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland

method but it did not help

I tried

Where exactly? Did you try it in the same terminal where you also started the application?

[ImAli]

@jsulm I think you made a spot on. Could you please explain how to do that?! I am new to linux and not experienced. I think I did it incorrectly as you said

Please first explain what exactly you did!
Do you start your application from QtCreator or from a terminal?

[ImAli]

@jsulm I start the app just like a normal one. I mean I downloaded it from software store, and do not open or run it through the terminal

Then try to do so.
Open a terminal, enter "export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland" there and then start the app from that terminal:

$ export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland
$ PATH_TO_THE_APP_EXECUTABLE
