I have a problem getting PySide 6 main window to be displayed at a position of my choice on screen. It defaults to being in the center of the screen and although it can then be re-positioned by grabbing the title bar I want it to open in my chosen place.
I am using a Py4 running Bookworm OS and python programming in a virtual environment. My test code is detailed below. By using "echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE" I discovered that I was using "Wayland" video drivers and thought that might be the cause? So, by switching to X11 (using sudo raspi-config > advanced Options > A6 Wayland > W1 X11 Openbox Window Manager" followed by a reboot and confirmation that I was now using X11) the same test code causes the following error:
"qt.qpa.plugin: From 6.5.0, xcb-cursor0 or libxcb-cursor0 is needed to load the Qt xcb platform plugin.
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This plugin does not support propagateSizeHints()"
While in my virtual environment I have tried to load xcb-cursor0 and also libxcb-cursor0 but both cannot be found using "python3 -m pip install xcb-cursor0"
I have also tried PyQt6 but get the same problem with positioning the main window.
I don't care which video driver I need to use nor whether it's PySide6 or PyQt6 but i do need a solution using Bookworm OS. I don't want to use a legacy OS on my Pi4
Can some one please help me?
