Viewrendered3 plugin may not render nodes for some linux distros

[Thomas Passin]

I have been spinning up several new Linux virtual machines, and I discovered that VR3 isn't rendering visibly.  It's still working, since you can export the rendering to the browser, but nothing is painted on the VR3 panel.

All these VMs use a recent version of Python3 with PyQt5.  The PyQt5 and pyqt5-webengine versions agree with earlier VMs where VR3 is rendering normally, but I suspect there's something wrong with these binaries anyway.

Where available, I upgraded to pyqt6 and PyQt6-WebEngine-Qt6, and after the upgrade VR3 is rendering normally.

To be more specific, here's what I've installed that work -

PyQt6                         6.4.0
PyQt6-Qt6                     6.4.2
PyQt6-sip                     13.4.0
PyQt6-WebEngine               6.4.0
PyQt6-WebEngine-Qt6           6.4.2

The packages you need to install are 

PyQt6                         6.4.0

PyQt6-WebEngine

And possibly PyQt6-WebEngine-Qt6 if it didn't get installed by the previous packages.

Thanks for these two detailed reports. I'm not overly surprised that Qt5 is flaky.
