When I run sudo coreboot-configurator, I get the following output:

Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified

qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display :0
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: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, xcb.

Aborted

I'm using Hyprland on Arch on a MkIV StarLite. I've tried Googling the Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found. error message, but none of the solutions I found online (running pip install pyqt6, export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=offscreen, etc.) have helped. A few posts online mentioned installing various XCB related packages, but I already have them all installed:

libxcb 1.15-2
xcb-proto 1.15.2-2
xcb-util 0.4.1-1
xcb-util-cursor 0.1.4-1
xcb-util-errors 1.0.1-1
xcb-util-image 0.4.1-2
xcb-util-keysyms 0.4.1-4
xcb-util-renderutil 0.3.10-1
xcb-util-wm 0.4.2-1

(Output from running pacman -Q | grep -i xcb)

On Ubuntu 20.04.3, on a newly delivered Lab Top Mk IV (so presumably fresh install).

Installed using command sudo apt install coreboot-configurator. Application installs successfully, icon is correctly added to launcher etc., however application won't open. Attempting to launch it via terminal returns error:
coreboot-configurator: error while loading shared libraries: libyaml-cpp.so.0.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I manually installed libyaml-cpp0.6 using apt, and it is now launching correctly.

Presumably it's a missing dependency on the deb.

Attempting to install on Debian derivative (Pop_OS) per instructions results in the following output:

user@pop-os:~$ sudo apt install coreboot-configurator

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

But not showed on the GUI:

When installing coreboot-configurator on Arch, meson notified me that the inkscape binary was a requirement. Upon further inspection post install, it seems that inkscape is being used to generate the icon set instead of QT5-SVG (which actually is listed as a dependency). This is either a defect in the build configuration (missing dependency) or someone left their dirty hack in and accidentally committed it. No judgement, we've all been there :)

Full disclosure: I'm running Endeavour OS, which is very close to stock Arch, but with a few niceties. The install was done using the yay wrapper for pacman.

After updating to BIOS v8.6.0 (EC v1.14) on a Starbook Mk V, coreboot-configurator no longer launches, with the error:

nvramtool: CMOS option table not found in coreboot table.  Apparently, the coreboot installed on this system was built without selecting CONFIG_USE_OPTION_TABLE.

I am on Ubuntu 22.04.

Hi, I'm trying to open coreboot-configurator and get this message.

$ coreboot-configurator 
coreboot-configurator: error while loading shared libraries: libyaml-cpp.so.0.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
coreboot-configurator 10+j installed from the PPA

Hello,

I've managed to build coreboot-configurator but when running it I get this error:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'YAML::ParserException' what(): yaml-cpp: error at line 2, column 13: illegal map value Aborted

I'm not sure how to fix this. In Ubuntu 21.10 everything works fine after installing it from the ppa.
Still I would like to build it on some other distros. The new starbook is amazing so far! Any help is much appreciated

Trying to install this on fedora is dependency hell.

I am working on an official package for coreboot-configurator. I installed all the relevant dependencies. Yet the build fails:

Hello,

my coreboot-configurator not appear Intel VT-d (My coreboot is the recent in a Thinkpad W500).

Why does it happen?

att

I got this error while trying to install the coreboot-configurator on a lite mkiii:
meson.build:3:0: ERROR: Unknown compiler(s): [['c++'], ['g++'], ['clang++'], ['nvc++'], ['pgc++'], ['icpc']]
The following exception(s) were encountered:
Running "c++ --version" gave "[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'c++'"
Running "g++ --version" gave "[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'g++'"
Running "clang++ --version" gave "[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'clang++'"

Running "pgc++ --version" gave "[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'pgc++'"
Running "icpc --version" gave "[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'icpc'"

The program fails to start if the package libqt5svg5 is not installed.

Tested on up to date Ubuntu focal.

Hi,

"nvramtool" is not installable on Ubuntu 22.04, however it's available in the package "coreboot-utils". You could make the package "coreboot-configurator" dependent of "coreboot-utils" or "nvramtool".

What do you think ?

nvramtool -a

Says coreboot table not found.

I'm on a StarLite IV.

Any ideas?

Attempting to install coreboot-configurator on Fedora 38 springs this error:

Error: 
 Problem: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides libyaml-cpp.so.0.6()(64bit) needed by coreboot-configurator-8-1.fc37.x86_64
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

This seems to be similar to a previous issue where libyaml-cpp0.6 was a required dependency, but this is also trying to use a dependency and install coreboot-configurator for an older version of Fedora.

@Sean-StarLabs

Dear Dev, could you please support Opensuse Thumbleweed?

I am not a technical person and have trouble building any software. It would be great if you can you use build.opensuse.org and maintain a community repo so that installing your coreboot configurator would be a breeze.

I had to look at the source to see what the filetype was supposed to be 😅
