Hi Ronan,

We will look into this, but let me know if you’re using a virtual machine.

If you do, please, try to enable the 3D support acceleration in the settings of the VM.

Hello,
same problem here. No vm, plain linux mint.

My system:
Linux Mint 21.3 Virginia, XFCE
5.15.0-131-generic #141-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 10 21:18:28 UTC 2025 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

qt5 installed (via $sudo apt install qtcreator)
execute Victron AppImage again
same error

tried to start AppImage with different “-platform” parameters

-platform minimal brings this log entries

AppImage goes stuck

-platform wayland brings:
qt.core.qobject.connect: QObject::connect(QObject, Unknown): invalid nullptr parameter
qt.core.qobject.connect: QObject::connect(QObject, Unknown): invalid nullptr parameter
error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set in the environment.

AppImage brings: Segmentation fault

What QT requirements must be set?

Victron connect 6.13 under Linux Mint 22 to connect to a Multiplus

I wanted to document what I had to do to get Victron Connect 6.13 running under Linux Mint 22 for anyone else trying to make it work. I needed to use a MK3 device plugged into my USB port to connect up to the Ethernet out of a Multiplus to be able to change the settings. Forum mods - feel free to move this post to the appropriate area if needed. After downloading VictronConnect-x86_64-v6.13.AppImage I changed it’s permission to be runnable and when it is double clicked it does not run. Found…

run: sudo apt install libxcb-cursor0
start: sudo ./VictronConnect-x86_64-v6.14.AppImage

… the App starts

Addendum:
$wine64 ./VictronConnectInstaller_v5.107.exe
runs also

Version 6 (VictronConnectInstaller_v6.14.exe) fails
