Qt Creator failed to launch on Ubuntu 18

[Uzosky]

Hello,
I have a freshly installed Qt 5.15.2 on Ubuntu 18, but when I click on the Qt Creator icon, it fails to launch without an error message. I've used previous versions before with the only issue being that I have to include a specific Linux .so file to make it work.
Kindly help out with a solution.

libxcb-xinerama.so

Is missing. Install libxcb-xinerama Ubuntu package.

@Uzosky Try to start QtCreator from a terminal with "-noload all" parameter: does it start?

[Uzosky]

Hi @jsulm ,
I tried:

Qt/Tools/QtCreator/bin/qtcreator -noload all

I get:

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.

@Uzosky The do this:

export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1
Qt/Tools/QtCreator/bin/qtcreator -noload all

And post the output in terminal here.
