No, the problem is not the xinitrc file. xterm is missing.

sudo pacman -S xterm
Code: [Select]
ARTIX Dinit + SDDM + Enlightenment

Ok, please enter into one of these terminals sudo pacman -S octopi

When the install is complete, please start octopi

And then please tell me, if octopi did start or if you got an error.

If the error tells you something about libraries and contains two funny hex-numbers, then try this:
sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/qt5-base-5.14.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

and then try to start octopi again.

no, leave lxqt as it is.

This is exactly what we had to expect, because we downgraded only the qt5-base package. to make it work, we have to downgrade also the other qt5- packages:

go back to octopi

there sort the packages by the left column (the colored icons)

then filter them by searching for qt5-

now you find the installed version (likely 5.14.2, repository world) on the one end of the list the other version (5.14.1, repository extra) on the other end

right click the orange qt5- 5.14.1 packages one by one (don't forget the qt5-base 5.14.1 package you already installed by downgrading, which should have a green icon and is on ther other end of the list)  and click for every package in the right click menu 'install' in order to add it to list of packages that should be installed

then hit the general install button in octopi

this should downgrade all your installed qt5 packages from 5.14.2 (world) to 5.14.1 (extra) (some of them have other numbering schemes, but generally it is 5.14.x).

You can simply downgrade it with:

Code: [Select]
sudo pacman -S extra/qt5

You find qt5 5.14.1 in the extra repos.
