Hello everyone, I was using anki 2.1.65 on Debian 11 and it was working but now after update my linux It has stopped to work. I was using anki with Qt5, I tried to uninstall again, I tried to install anki with Qt6 but it doesn’t work too, can someone help me? **When a run it on terminal there is the fallowing message:** ~$ Anki starting… Initial setup… Running with temporary Qt5 compatibility shims. Run with DISABLE\_QT5\_COMPAT=1 to confirm compatibility with Qt6. Preparing to run… Qt warning: Could not connect “org.freedesktop.IBus” to globalEngineChanged(QString) Starting main loop… ![1687655090](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/2X/a/a7e27e90ab9ae5cdfd6eeabdc0351562693e572d.jpeg) ![1687655167](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/2X/4/463a88047ccb5c9d01e9b990fa36afff3fe67f21.jpeg) ---

The window displays correctly for me on a Debian 12 install here. You may find switching to software graphics helps. [https://docs.ankiweb.net/platform/linux/display-issues.html](https://docs.ankiweb.net/platform/linux/display-issues.html) ---

I was using software graphics all along, but tried the config file with ‘software’, as suggested in the link, but it did not help. I get a menubar with the ‘File’ etc. entries, but otherwise, the window is empty. Yes, I am using the nouveau driver, as I had massive troubles with the nvidia driver and generally like Open Source better. What else can I try? ---

Assuming you’re using the Qt6 version, I can’t think of anything else except trying the nvidia drivers. If you’re using Qt5, it may be [Blank Main Window - Anki Manual](https://docs.ankiweb.net/platform/linux/blank-window.html) ---

My bad. I was running the Qt5 version. The Qt6 version works as much as the Qt5 version worked before the upgrade. Thank you! ---
