      Hello, qt5ct complains that “The QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME environment variable is not set (required value: qt5ct )”.

      But:

      $ cat /etc/environment
QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct

$ echo $QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME
(empty)

      Why is the variable not set?

        You are right. I will investigate to see if this was a Debian thing or if it is related to any of the changes in antiX21 (be it the login manager, services or something else).

        I will provide a temporal workaround after some investigation.

          The bug is extremely stupid and easy to fix.
          1. edit /etc/environment
          sudo geany /etc/environment
          2. Add a new line after QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct
          3. Save and reboot.

          For some reason the missing line under the variable gives errors.

            Thanks, Xecure! Sometimes it’s the little things…
