In another thread here, I was suggested k3b but for some reason, the app only opens an empty window. I’ve tried running it from the terminal but there isn’t a clear error message for me to resolve. Everything seems to be in working order except for the aforementioned empty window problem.
I think it may have been that qt5 wasn’t working properly and have already tried some remedies mentioned in other threads. The issue may be with Silverblue now only supporting Wayland but I don’t know how to resolve that either.
I’ve also tried, just in case, to install it in containers where both fedora and ubuntu containers were able to execute the program properly. There wasn’t an empty screen in either one of them. However, as I expected, the containers couldn’t detect the CD drive. I’m not even sure if that would be within recommended practice.
Anyway, does anyone know how I may resolve this issue?
I’m really hoping there’s some trick to qt5 apps that I’m missing
Thanks for the correction. The reason I suggested qt5 was because that’s what I saw while running from the terminal. The output indicated that the app was relying or at least checking on qt5. Sadly, I forgot to save it so I’m not averse to the idea that I may simply misread something.
Yesterday due to exhaustion, I neglected to save the terminal output and now the app can work properly but sometimes it still only outputs an empty window. Below is the output from the terminal when I ran it there:

This is the exact terminal output I get whether the app returns an empty window or works properly.
This may just be an issue related to my hardware or configuration. I tried installing it as a layered package while already having about 7 of them. Though, I don’t think that’s too many. I should also mention that I’m using an external dvd reader but I also don’t think it would have caused this.
The issue is not particularly troublesome or urgent. I just want to know how it may be resolved because I also like other Qt apps and don’t want to face the same block.
