After "unset WAYLAND_DISPLAY", ChimeraX starts up with UI and buggy graphics:

$ chimerax
NOTE: available bundle cache has not been initialized yet
WARNING: Failed to load vulkan: Cannot load library vulkan: vulkan: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
WARNING: initInstance: No Vulkan library available
WARNING: Failed to create platform Vulkan instance
WARNING: Unable to detect GPU vendor.

and Report a Bug shows that the Qt platform is wayland. I expected the Qt platform to be be xcb if XWayland is being used.

Component: Unassigned → Platform

comment:3 by Greg Couch, 9 months ago

Updating to PyQt 6.8 and Qt 6.8.1 doesn't fix it.

comment:4 by Greg Couch, 9 months ago

Resolution: → fixed
Status: assigned → closed

The workaround to force XWayland, appears to not be needed anymore. So removing it.
