Katalog does not run in KALI

[issamu2k]

Katalog 2.2 is not running in Kali 2024.3.
GUI stuck with message: "This plugin does not support propagateSizeHints()".

Hi @issamu2k , thank you for reporting this!

I downloaded the Kali VirtualBox machine and tried running Katalog_2.2, using the Katalog.sh launcher (which should load necessary libraries for any linux)

I got an issue as well, but a different message:

qt.qpa.plugin: From 6.5.0, xcb-cursor0 or libxcb-cursor0 is needed to load the Qt xcb platform plugin.
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: minimal, wayland, linuxfb, vkkhrdisplay, vnc, offscreen, xcb, minimalegl, wayland-egl, eglfs.
Aborted

So I installed this missing libxcb-cursor0:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install libxcb-cursor0

and it runs ok now:

I will therefore investigate how to include this library into Katalog to keep it fully portable.

But I'm not sure this can solve your issue.
Can you please check the same and let me know if this is enough?
It could be that the Kali VM I used has something else pre-installed that your system do not have (likely Qt related).

I've also made the test running Katalog in a Kali VM and it worked.
There must be something installed in my system conflicting with it.
Appreciated.
