    Run the ldd command that JonB posted above and scroll through the list to try and find libxcb-util.so.?
    You seem to have a similar problem to me in that Qt can't find the shared library.
    ldd will show you where the libxcb file is. Qt wants version .so.1 and I had .so.0 and so it wouldn't run.
    It's probably best to try and find the newer version from your distro repo, which I will do sometime but just to try it out I created a link called libxcb-util.so.1 linked back to ver so.0 so that Qt could find it.

    @Colins2 it doesnt find it. I will figure it out

    ldd: /home/ilknur/Qt/Tools/QtCreator/lib/Qt/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so: No such file or directory

      libxcb-utils.so.* is not a Qt library so you may have to get it using your update tool.
      Here's an excerpt from my system from the ldd command:
      libxcb-icccm.so.4 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb-icccm.so.4 (0x00007f11afec6000)
      libxcb-image.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb-image.so.0 (0x00007f11afcc1000)
      libxcb-shm.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb-shm.so.0 (0x00007f11afcba000)
      libxcb-util.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb-util.so.1 (0x00007f11afab3000)
      libxcb-keysyms.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb-keysyms.so.1 (0x00007f11af8b0000)
      Obviously showing after the link I created.

        Hi
        You mean run your project stand alone ?

        Did you make a deployment folder for it ?

          Ok. Is this by any chance ubuntu 20.04 ?

          sometimes people have to install libxcb-xinerama.so

          sometimes more.

          sudo apt-get install libxcb-randr0-dev libxcb-xtest0-dev libxcb-xinerama0-dev libxcb-shape0-dev libxcb-xkb-dev
          sudo apt-get install libxkbcommon-x11-dev

          https://forum.qt.io/topic/93247/qt-qpa-plugin-could-not-load-the-qt-platform-plugin-xcb-in-even-though-it-was-found/64

          but please check with ldd first, what is actually missing.

              @suslucoder said in qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display error:

              You forgot to say which other lib is not found now...
              Also, setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not necessary if all needed packages are installed properly.

              Please take a look at https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/linux-requirements.html

                @jsulm when i run it on terminal
                like

                ./my app name
                

                there is no library that gives not found error

                but when i tried to run it on qt creator it is give an error.
                Other lib is that cannot found, libqmapcontrol.so.0
                it is related with qmapcontrol
