Ah yes that would explain it, what about after doing sudo apt install qml-module-qtquick-dialogs ?

Done. But now I get

Ah, the broken Debian packaging of Qt... https://github.com/nspire-emus/firebird/issues/113

Code: Tout sélectionner: apt-get install qml-module-qtquick-controls qml-module-qtquick-dialogs qml-module-qt-labs-folderlistmodel qml-module-qt-labs-settings

should help.

Ah, right.

And for reference, the config dialog should like this, more or less

Ok, now it's working, thanks!
I would recommend to add this info when people download the debian or ubuntu package.

How do I transfer files to the emulator???

Thanks for the quick feedback!

As a workaround, I added those packages as explicit dependencies of the package on OBS now.

Just drag'n'drop files into the "File Transfer" dock after refreshing it. Or drag them anywhere else in the window, then the destination is whatever is configured in the configuration dialog.

But from what application can I drag and drop a file? I failed with thunar.
Moreover, I prefer to type commands or use keyboard shortcuts than moving a mouse, is there a way to copy a file to the emulator from the commandline?

I have another major usability problem: firebird is almost freezing my virtual machine, it's not responsive at all (I just had to killall firebird-emu). I don't know if this is again a (qt?) misconfiguration problem. Or maybe because I enlarged the keypad?
I was hoping to use firebird in conjunction with gdb to debug khicas, but I'm afraid it won't be possible unless this can be fixed.

Anything should work. Make sure the filename ends in .tns.

Yes, that's what firebird-send is for. Make sure that "remove debugging" is enabled and just run (example) "firebird-send ndless_resources.tns ndless".

I've never heard of that issue before, maybe the VM does not have enough RAM? Or some graphics driver is behaving badly.

Is the VM very underpowered/limited ?
Qt May be a bit power hungry (and possibly a bit more with graphics stuff for the keypad) but it should still run totally fine... I mean, my Linux vm on Mac, running under Parallels, only has 4 GB of RAM and 3 (maybe 2 even) cores out of the 6, and I run Firefox, qt creator, terminals, and emulators all at a time.

Also, why a VM? The gdb server inside Firebird works fine with the native Mac gdb client of the Nspire toolchain, at least last time I tried.
