    The plugin problem started when I re-created an Anaconda env (PyQt5 and ubuntu) from a .yml file.
    https://newini.wordpress.com/2020/08/13/how-to-solve-xcb-plugin-error-in-pyqt5/
    Had the working answer for me:
    sudo apt-get install qt5-default # For Ubuntu system

      HI,

      Did you run ldd on your libraries and libxcb-xinerama versions ?

      @SGaist hi,
      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-glx, webgl, xcb.
      /bin/bash: line 133: 1745 Aborted (core dumped) python csv2txt.py

      Then I added, export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1
      got error as,
      QFactoryLoader::QFactoryLoader() checking directory path "/usr/local/bin/platforms" ...
      Cannot load library /builds/sravani_detect/video_frames/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/PyQt5/Qt5/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so: (libxcb-util.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

        Install the package that provides "libxcb-util.so.1" on your system.

          Thank you, Can we run PyQt5 applications in gitlab by setting up a pipeline?
          Please clarify this.

            Do you mean run tests on your GUI in GitLab ?

                Yes you can, you have to use the offscreen backend though unless your runner provides adequate connection to an X server.

                  I am using Qt-5.15.0, got the same problem.
                  More details are:
                  QLibraryPrivate::loadPlugin failed on "/opt/Qt/5.15.0/gcc_64/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so" : "Cannot load library /opt/Qt/5.15.0/gcc_64/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so: (libxcb-xinerama.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)"

                  Solved by installing the dependent package.
                  Command to install: sudo apt-get install libxcb-xinerama0

                      @jarvis Hi guys,
                      I am also getting the same problem

                      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-glx, webgl, xcb.

                      Aborted (core dumped)

                      **did u found the solution??

                      I am using Linux in windows(WSL) and tried it normal ubuntu also getting same error**

                        "qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display"

                        You should check the Windows documentation.

                          Good morning,

                          I am having trouble running a python code (not written by me) that uses pyroot.
                          My working system is Ubuntu 18.

                          At the start of the script I get the following message

                          cling::DynamicLibraryManager::loadLibrary(): /home/matteo/anaconda3/bin/../lib/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined symbol: FT_Done_MM_Var
                          Error in TInterpreter::TCling::AutoLoad: failure loading library libGX11TTF.so for TGX11TTF

                          Info in TApplication::InitializeGraphics: no TTF support

                          While, at the end, just before it crushes, (after export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1) I get the following

                          So, the point is that I do not have a deep knowledge of Ubuntu system in genreal, and I do not know if the problem is only with QT plugins or is elsewhere. The only thing I know is that the code itself is working fine in other machines, so the problem should not rely there.

                          Thanks if you can help me, let me know if you need any other information.

                          Thanks!

                            Hi and welcome to devnet,

                            Your anaconda installation looks unusual, how did you do it ?

                              Thanks for the welcome!

                              I actually don't remember anything particular from the installation of Anaconda. But it has been 3 years ago, so I might have forgotten.
                              Why do you say that it looks unusual?

                                Usually conda environments are not located at that level. That's what I find suspicious. But I have essentially used miniconda rather than the full Anaconda.

                                Your main issue is that there's something wrong with your libfontconfig library.

                                  worked for me on Ubuntu 20.04. Shame one has to scroll so deep down into the discussion before finding the answer.

                                  Also, I recently spent a lot of time getting a Qt application to run in a Github Actions VM - I was battling the xcb errors. Here's the complete list of things that needed to be installed:

                                  sudo apt-get install -qq libglu1-mesa-dev libx11-xcb-dev '^libxcb*'

                                    I am also facing the same issue :

                                    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-glx, webgl, xcb.

                                      After many tries of reinstalling libraries as suggested, finally I found the issue: I had installed libxcb-util0, but I needed libxcb-util1, which is only in the repository of Testing version of Debian 10. Installing it solved my issue.

                                      Thanks for the suggestion of using export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1.

                                        Hi,

                                        You should run your application with the QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS environment variable set to 1 to see what might go wrong when the plugin is loaded.

                                        This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
