+This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

+We have to force the use of Wayland. Before that, make sure that the Qt-Wayland
+plugin is installed. Also, there seems to be a problem with the qt5-gtk
+platform theme, so remove it:
+```
+sudo apt-get install qtwayland5
+sudo apt-get remove qt5-gtk-platformtheme

+
+Now, force the Wayland plugin; also make sure to pass `-E` to sudo:
+```
+sudo -E QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland ./nr-softmodem --sa -O <conf> --dqt
+```

+Furthermore, if you get the following warning, _followed by a segfault_ (i.e.,
