No linuxcnc widgets in designer

You may need to get a later version on the 2.8 release, the Buster ISO I installed shows python-pyqt5 5.11

Please tell me how you put the designer with pyqt5 5.11. Thanks!

are you using python 2 or 3?

I have a clean install of the official Linuxcnc Buster10.iso image. Tried it according to different instructions in work
only Axis is available. Strech had no problem. I changed the video card and had to switch to Buster. The installer is bad no built-in constructor. Thanks for attention.

So the qtvcp screens don;t work?
i would start with that.
If you run them from a terminal it should give a clue what is needed.

Linuxcnc is only blocked in the Mate desktop environment. Compilation was carried out from the page as in the screenshot. Where do we export libpyqt5.so from? Compiled for both Qt5.9.2 and 5.11.3.

Do the screens work? Screens don't need the library to run.
You need the compiled library to use designer.

I found it impossible to get python2 (normal) version of linuxcnc to compile with mint 20 using cinnamon. IIRC there was a python2 library dependency that could not be installed with a required python3 dependency.

Maybe linux mate is the same.

As for the export - i have never done it this way but looking at your screens it looks like it might have worked - XCB error bad window - sounds like it might be qtvcp's Xembed code.

But first see if the standard qtvcp screens work at all.

Installed linuxcnc 2.8 Debian Buster10.iso. Added Mate and I will delete it. All interfaces work in xfce.
It's just that there are no widgets in the constructor. I'm doing something wrong. Incorrect export. I think so.

if you added mate to debian then that is probably fine.

I would try to rename (or remove) the libpyqt5.so to libpyqt5_py3.so

The python2 library must run first

That screen is looking nice - what do you call it?
