How start compiler in Ubuntu 20

SGaist

How are you using exactly ?

Mikeeeeee

I write in folder "Qt" in console

export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1

SGaist

The folder has no influence on that environment variable. And are you starting your application from the same terminal were you defined the variable ?

Mikeeeeee

I am restarted Qt.
Maybe I'm not there to change this variable. Explain in which folder I need to change this variable?

SGaist

As I already said: the folder has absolutely nothing to do with the environnement variable.

What do you mean by your restarted Qt ?

@Mikeeeeee
This really isn't very hard. You originally showed

qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-

You ran a program to get this. I don't know whether it was Qt Creator or your own application, but it was one of them, whichever. Right?

As we have already told you:

Open a console/terminal.
Type: export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1
Type the path to Qt Creator or your own executable to run it. Whichever one caused your original error.

At this point you should get your error again, but this time the environment variable should cause debug output, stating which it can't load "xcb".

Mikeeeeee

@JonBWhere and how do I specify the path to Qt Creator? Please provide a full example of using QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS.
And maybe the QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS plugin doesn't work either?

JonB

@Mikeeeeee
I have provided a full example. I have given you the exact steps. I would expect any developer to be able to follow them easily. I leave it to you.

Mikeeeeee

@JonB Please explain point 3. It is not clear how, where, or why to record the path.

jsulm

@Mikeeeeee Why is it so hard?! Do you know what a path is?
Just call QtCreator using full path to it, like:

/home/YOUR_USER_NAME/Qt/Tools/QtCreator/bin/qtcreator.sh

"And maybe the QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS plugin doesn't work either?" - QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS is not a plug-in! You already was told that it is an environment variable. I suggest you learn what an environment variable is (something a software developer should know).

Mikeeeeee

I get this log with errors:

@Mikeeeeee "Cannot load library /home/admin1/Qt/5.15.0/gcc_64/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so: (libxcb-xinerama.so.0: невозможно открыть разделяемый объектный файл: Нет такого файла или каталога)" - libxcb-xinerama.so is missing.
Install libxinerama1 package.

JonB

@Mikeeeeee
Which is what we have waiting for you to try for a long time now! As you can see, setting the environment variable produces detailed output for others to analyze....

Mikeeeeee

@jsulm I have libxinerama1 (2:1.1.4-2).
It seems the error is in something else. Maybe some of the Qt components didn't install after all?

jsulm

@Mikeeeeee You actually need libxcb-xinerama0 package.

Mikeeeeee

Thanks, it's help me!
