Qt6 warning messages (a bunch)

[wildstar84Member]

I’m running antiX-26 stable and all of my handful of Qt6 apps always spew the following spam whenever I start any of them up, though everything seems to work properly, including colors & styles. The problem does not happen with Qt5 apps. It also happens regardless of using custom or default settings. The only thing that stops it is unsetting QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME, which I normally have set to “qt6ct”, but also produces same spam if set to “qt5ct”. I’ve googled this every way I can think of and have found nothing. Any ideas?

Detected locale "en_US.iso88591" with character encoding "ISO-8859-1", which is not UTF-8.
Qt depends on a UTF-8 locale, and has switched to "en_US.UTF-8" instead.
If this causes problems, reconfigure your locale. See the locale(1) manual
for more information.

Seems you have set up your system with a non-utf8 locale, which can and will cause lots of trouble these days.

Check:
$ locale
If something different than settings ending with .UTF-8 show up, run the User Language tool in antiX Control Centre, section System, and therein click the + button right next to the current language (screenshot 1) to select a proper UTF-8 locale (screenshot 2).

Alternatively do what the error message suggests already: reconfigure your locale on command line. If you want to do it that way, check with
$ sudo debconf-show locales
what is currently set on your system. Then:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
(search forum, how to apply this had been discussed already several times)

In any case, make sure to set an UTF-8 locale instead of the iso88591 you are obviously using on your system for some strange reason, if the error message is correct.

Windows is like a submarine. Open a window and serious problems will start.

Ok, I’ve applied the suggested solution which fixes the locale warnings, but all the “QPalette” warnings still remain, any other ideas or anyone else experiencing this?
