Then you run this command:
sudo sh -c "echo 'export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk2' >>
/etc/environment"
and reboot, and it always worked (at least, when I was running Devuan Beowulf
on my desktop).
"man environment" suggest a different format for each environment varable, so
this might cause problems.

The error message in qt5ct said that it ought to be
something
else, I think it was qt5 or maybe gtk5 (is that a thing?). So I tried
modifying the command to:
sudo sh -c "echo 'export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct' >>
/etc/environment"
but this did nothing. I hesitate to mess with this any more, since my system
is stable again.
Anyway ... so once more, I stand at the door, almost there, but can't get in.
Now I am back to the same problem that irked me before; namely, either to get
Open Office running, or to get Libre Office running and to change the color
scheme of the GUI interface to something that doesn't cause me severe pain
and discomfort (from looking at large patches white screen). I am wondering
if I ought to try css, as I believe I still have E. Liddell's scripts
somewhere (and his old emails with the attachments). Maybe I can use that to
get my Libre Office GUI interface to use colors that are not so hard on my
eyes. (I am not joking here. I get watery eyes, and eventually a migraine,
after staring at a white screen for more than about 5 minutes.)
Apologies for length, but I was trying to recount the various factors that may
or not be relevant. I expect it will get trimmed in the responses.
Any observations or suggestions or advice are appreciated.
Bill
