@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,

Thank you!

SGaist

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

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

SGaist

Do you mean run tests on your GUI in GitLab ?

pixel_08

@SGaist yes

SGaist

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

Srinivas Reddy

@Srinivas-Reddy This worked for me. Thank you.

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

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 ?

MBat

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?

SGaist

@MBat said in qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.:

anaconda3/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so

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.

Violet Giraffe

@Matriarch, thank you,

sudo apt-get install libxcb-xinerama0

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*'

For those who could face the same issue: I also got

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, xcb.

when trying to open last release of Dooble web browser (2021.07.05) on debian 10. Checking through export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 I found that

Cannot load library /opt/dooble/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so: (libxcb-util.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) 
QLibraryPrivate::loadPlugin failed on "/opt/dooble/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so" :

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.

@SGaist Hey, i use a hp chromebook, with a linux development environment. I downloaded the Qt online installer and installed Qt succesfully but when i tried to run it i got this error:

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, xcb.

can you please help.

I have same problem on redhat 8
after updating to qt creator 5
and one of solution that i did is to insted of running "/opt/Qt/Tools/QtCreator/bin/qtcreator"
I run "/opt/Qt/Tools/QtCreator/bin/qtcreator.sh"

for icon to work:
cd /usr/local/share/applications
sudo vim org.qt-project.qtcreator.desktop

change this: Exec="/opt/Qt/Tools/QtCreator/bin/qtcreator" %F
to this: Exec="/opt/Qt/Tools/QtCreator/bin/qtcreator.sh" %F
