Yes. 7.17 moved to QT 6.7.2 to fix some issues associated with MacOS and accessibility settings.

You dont need to switch to xorg just set the env var to tell qt to use x11 instead of wayland. And wayland has been *full* of bugs for years now. You presumably have barely used calibre if you think wayland had no issues.

I have actually used it a lot. I switched eReaders and used Calibre to move my library from the old one to the new one (Kindle to Kobo, so conversions involved, too). Also have used it to side-load various free books and generally to manage my digital library -- create collections, add tags, match books on the reader to books in my library, etc.

I can still try setting the env var to x11 and see if it makes a difference tho.

OK, I was able to try @kovidgoyal's suggestion right now, and 7.18 does indeed work with this setting:

export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb
calibre
When I set it back to Wayland, it goes back to its not-opening behavior.

It is strange that it worked great for me under Wayland through 7.16, and only broke with 7.17.

I guess this solves the issue for me. Thank you!

Probably QT 6.7.2 which calibre 7.1.7 switched to to solve MacOS accessibility issues is not happy with Wayland.

If anyone is running Wayland and cannot get calibre 7.17 or later to work properly, see post #20 in this thread for a solution.

Another solution is to uninstall Wayland.

I am able to open calibre, convert, edit and read ebooks using Wayland. My advice is to go back to last version of calibre that worked for you and submit a bug report to your Distro.

I normally use the regular Mint with x11 but I do check with using wayland several times a month.

Unfortunately there is no such thing as "Wayland". What matters is the actual wayland compositor you are running. There are dozens of them and different ones have different bugs.

If so, open a terminal and copy and paste the lines from post #20 into the terminal. Press Enter. Done.

If you're not using Linux with (a) Wayland compositor then this is irrelevant to you.

Again, this suggests that QT 6.7.2 is not compatible with your video driver. Have you checked for a new driver update? QT has been requiring video driver updates for several versions now.

Using Windows, you could try adding environmental variable such as

QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS --disable-gpu

QT_OPENGL software
