Problem deploying an app about meta-smartwatch

[jes]

I get the same error myself over SSH if I try to execute asteroid-stopwatch without using invoker, so I thought that might be what QtCreator is doing. I went into the "Projects" mode (?) and "Run Settings" pane, and set "Alternate executable on device" to "/usr/bin/invoker" with "Use this command instead", and set "Command line arguments" to "--type=qtcomponents-qt5 /usr/bin/asteroid-stopwatch", and now it says this:

11:36:37: Starting /usr/bin/invoker --type=qtcomponents-qt5 /usr/bin/asteroid-stopwatch...
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in ""
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: hwcomposer, minimal, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland.

11:36:38: Remote process crashed.

Which is the same as before, except now confirms that it is actually trying to run invoker instead of asteroid-stopwatch directly.

This is indeed not the best place to place issues like this, generally the best location would be here: https://github.com/AsteroidOS/asteroid/issues

Though I am not familiar with running AsteroidOS apps through QtCreator, this error looks familiar to me. Can you try to set the QT_QPA_PLATFORM variable to wayland? And maybe also EGL_PLATFORM to wayland? https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-run-settings.html has some information that describes adding environment variables.

OK, thanks. I'll post there next time!

I set those environment variables but they didn't obviously change anything, I'm getting the same errors. I think I can cope with just running stuff through SSH though, so actually this isn't as big a problem as I thought it was. I'm currently printing a pogo pin adapter & have ordered some pogo pins, although I wasn't quite sure what length I needed so I just guessed.

Weird, but ok 👍 The documentation also doesn't mention how to do it. Maybe no one succeeded at doing that.

Here is a link to the pogo pins I am using: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32767984398.html

So total length is around 16.54mm and diameter is around 1.02mm

Thanks!
