problem with qt.qpa.plugin: running on a docker in Kubuntu

SGaist

@john_hobbyist said in problem with qt.qpa.plugin: running on a docker in Kubuntu:

libxcb-util.so.1

You are missing that file in your Docker image.

john_hobbyist

Do I need to install a specific package? Or only the non-existing file? I suppose

pip3 install ...

??

SGaist

No this is a system library that you need to install using your image distribution package manager.

john_hobbyist

How can I achieve this?

SGaist

As I wrote above, this is done using the package manager that is provided by the distribution you use as a base for your Docker image. Use a RUN command for that.

john_hobbyist

After google search, I found and I tried this command:

RUN apt-get install -y libxcb-util1

It does not work:

E: Unable to locate package libxcb-util1
The command '/bin/sh -c apt-get install -y libxcb-util1' returned a non-zero code: 100

eyllanesc

@john_hobbyist use: RUN apt-get install -y '^libxcb.*-dev' libx11-xcb-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libxrender-dev libxi-dev libxkbcommon-dev libxkbcommon-x11-dev and show the new log

Any idea???

eyllanesc

@john_hobbyist change FROM python:3 to FROM ubuntu:latest. "python: 3" uses a minimalistic version of linux that does not have some packages. Also remove RUN apt-get install qt5-default -y and RUN ldd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so. If you can't find the pip command then add first: RUN apt install python3-pip

@eyllanesc Ok, it builds this, but I cannot run it obviously because I need the rest packages...

I included the rest packages on Dockerfile and I get, among others, this again:

SGaist

As said earlier, Docker does not have access to your X server.

There are several ways to achieve that but it looks like this tool is quite interesting.

john_hobbyist

When I run an image I see the result on my pc? I mean the application result is displayed on my pc?

SGaist

That's the goal of the tool, to allow the application to connect to an X server so that it can display its content.

john_hobbyist

Because now I hit: "sudo docker run <IMAGE ID>" the OS does not complain with errors or something, but I do not see the application running on my laptop...What is going on?
