QtWebEngineProcess crashing, leaves blank window

Help
1

Hi all, hoping this is the right place to get support for this, or if not, that I can be pointed in the right direction since I might have a less-than-conventional setup.

I’m running KDE Plasma with Debian on an m1 Macbook Air via the Asahi Linux installer. So far I’ve managed to get everything pretty much working, though not without some finagling.

This issue’s got me stumped though, and I’m not entirely sure where to report it.

I’m trying to log into my Nextcloud server through kaccounts, but whenever it tried to pull up the browser login page to sign in, the page stays blank and I see QtWebEngineProcess appear in the Crashed Processes Viewer. This issue doesn’t appear to be isolated to Nextcloud as the exact same issue appearas when trying to log into this VPN provider which also launches a web page for authentication. The issue also seems to happen with the Falkon browser, but not Brave or Firefox.

Here is what is provided by the Crashed Processes Viewer:

Thanks preemptively for your any help, and apologies if this isn’t the best place to post.

Qt 5 uses a chromium version that predates the release of the M1 chip. I suspect that version may be missing required patches for that architecture, especially since Brave (based on a significantly newer chromium version) does work.
