Like someone reported in issue #1, I experience as similar black screen on my Arch Linux installation running KDE Plasma Wayland.

As I was not able to install viainstructor with the modules listed in requirements.txt (one of those problems was AttributeError: module 'pkgutil' has no attribute 'ImpImporter'), I stripped version info from requirements.in and installed latest versions:
