Since sometime last fall when I launch the nextcloud client it will not show the main dialog. It appears in the system tray, and I can make the 'settings' window appear through the right click menu, but "open main dialog" does nothing. When I first noticed the issue I downgraded to an older version for a bit, but eventually a working version was no longer offered. I am using dwm. It's happening on two different machines. The appimage for the latest release works fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.open nextcloud client Actual Results: Main dialog does not appear. Problem started sometime last fall. I wish I could be more precise but I had other things going on and couldn't pay attention to it. The appimage for the latest release works fine.
This is happening to me as well, (on X/xfce/xfwm) started in the same timeframe. Downgrading to 3.9.4 fixes this problem The below versions all exhibit the problem: nextcloud-client-3.15.2-r1.ebuild nextcloud-client-3.14.4.ebuild nextcloud-client-3.15.3.ebuild nextcloud-client-3.16.2.ebuild Removing all Nextcloud client configuration files does not help. What would be the best way we can help get more information to help isolate the issue?
Could you open a terminal, run the client in there, and show us any output that appears (especially when clicking "open main dialog")?

Having the narrowest range between working-and-not would help with looking for bad or related commits.
Created attachment 924723 [details] Terminal output from nextcloud client Hey, all of this output appears during initial client startup. There is no output after that, and no output when clicking Open Main Dialog
3.9.4 used Qt 5, while 3.15.2 at least uses Qt 6. Wonder what the appimage uses.
Ooh: bug 889772. Please show me the output of `emerge -pvO dev-qt/qt5compat dev-qt/qtdeclarative:6` (I see `import Qt5Compat.GraphicalEffects` in src/gui/tray/UnifiedSearchResultItemSkeletonContainer.qml at least).
And `dev-qt/qtmultimedia:6`.
Below is the output. Interestingly this does not prevent the Add Account dialog from displaying or the settings dialog from displaying, but I will note the Settings dialog takes a complete 20 seconds to actually display after you click Settings. Still no output in terminal. Note: I also tried a quick test with qtquickcontrols installed, that did not help) Note 2: I also installed every other recent version of nextcloud-client. Version 3.13.0 worked so this was introduced between 3.13.0 and 3.14.4 (seems to be the earliest 3.14 that made it into portage) # emerge -pvO dev-qt/qt5compat dev-qt/qtdeclarative:6 dev-qt/qtmultimedia:6 dev-qt/qtquickcontrols dev-qt/qtquickcontrols2 Local copy of remote index is up-to-date and will be used.

Hi Sam, USE=qml on qtcompat worked, main dialog is working now!

Thanks for the report and investigation with sam! I suspect USE=qml is needed on other qt6 dependencies, but let's at least get this confirmed one in with version bump

Adding USE=qml fixed it for me too. Thanks!
Thanks! I'll try to remember to add the others when fixing bug 933110 to save people 2 rebuilds (working on Wireshark first which will need the same fix as bu 933110).
