QT6 Networking issue?

I have used Strawberry and Lazarus-IDE. Both are QT6. In each case the part of the software that requires internet access is not working. For Strawberry that means any mp3 I try to tag using Picard fails. In Lazarus-IDE I am not able to install any additional controls to the IDE as it appears to fail to download.

Does anyone know if there is an issue with QT6 apps? It seems strange that two of them would have this type if issue for me.

I also use Falkon, which uses QT5 and doesn’t seem to be an issue.

Not sure about Strawberry, but for Lazarus it’s probably the same issue as with the examples, it probably needs a writable location, IIRC adding components to Lazarus requires Lazarus to re-compile itself (I think @nielx as some experience there)?

@DFergFLA do you have an example on any additional control to add? Maybe can’t fix it, but atleast could check what is going on.

Thank you,

Try: Anchordocking 1.0, or Anchordockingdsgn 1.0. Also, I was able to get “Online Package Manager” to install, (I think that is technically already part of Lazarus) however it doesn’t work and no packages are populated.

Seems to work here, the “rebuild” binary however ends up in ~/.lazarus/bin, I’ve seen errors during build with a “Abort” message window, let the build finish, click on Abort and re-launch then.

EDIT: the package manager doesn’t work here also, empty (can connect to upstream although the link should be OK).

Fidled a bit with it but I’m not familiar enough there to go full-steam :smiley: For me it’s important that I can keep CudaText updated once in a while.

Thank you. I now have it as just one app and not a 1/2 dozen different open windows.

Online Package Manger is still no happy:

I can live without it. I just won’t be able to install any widgets that are not already included. But this is what makes me think the networking part of QT6 may not be working.

As a side note. The icon for Lazarus while running is now the generic icon. I can’t remember if it was like this before I installed the Anchor stuff or not. So, I’m just putting it out there. Again, not a big thing.

That’s expected, even with the default Lazarus launched the one in ~/.lazarus/bin will take over (and no icon is set there).

Hope you find it usefull, not that many have been using it, and for me … well already explained, wanted it to be in the depot rather then building/patching it every time with fpcupdeluxe :smiley:

I am very grateful for it. I tried fpcupdelux a couple of times but never was able to get a working Lazarus out of it. I am not used to using it. Thank you for your help. :smile:
