Solved I can't open qtcreator in ubuntu
-
I experienced the same issue. In the last step, the plugin debug warned me that libxcb-xinerama0 was missing and sudo apt-get install --reinstall libxcb-xinerama0 fixed it.
Hope it helps, cheers. -
@SGaist Hey, I'm getting the same problem as OP
"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.
Aborted (memory dump)"
changing the QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS variable did not change it. I reinstalled it aswell.

Hi and welcome to devnet,
This environment variable triggers debugging output on the console so you get more information about what is failing.
Did you install the libraries @Leon-Abascal suggested ?
-
@SGaist installing the missing libraries helped! Thanks a lot.
-
@Leon-Abascal you save my life! Same problem and same working solution! (ubuntu 21.04 in virtualbox)

@marbor :
export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1
./qtcreator
show error: Qt/Tools/QtCreator/lib/Qt/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so" : "Cannot load library
installed : sudo apt-get install --reinstall libxcb-xinerama0
this worked for me.
after installation: go for this command ./qtcreator -
So I've done a number of things to try to correct this issue. Firstly, I'm on Debian 10. I installed Qt in a directory like this: /home/kevin/Applications/Qt
I've already tried reinstalling libxcb-xinerama0 as well as uninstalling and reinstalling Qt.
