Spyder cannot start in Wayland mode on Ubuntu 24.04 when using Conda packages #22219
Comments
Hey @parrenin, thanks for reporting. I think Anaconda packages don't come with Wayland, so that's why you can't use Spyder with them. However, you can use Conda-forge packages (a set of community-maintained packages), which include Wayland support for Qt. For that, please open a terminal and run the following commands:

Problem Description
With a fresh install of Ubuntu and Anaconda, I cannot use Wayland with Spyder.
When launching:
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland spyder
I get:
Could not find the Qt platform plugin "wayland" in ""
Even if I set the QT plugin path:
QT_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/ QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland spyder
I get:
Could not load the Qt platform plugin "wayland" in "" even though it was found.
What steps reproduce the problem?
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
We should be able to use Spyder with Wayland support.
