    Hi

    I have a annoying problem when installing Qt from the Online Installer package to a laptop.

    OS: Debian 12

    As the headline states, it is a problem with the library XCB. The installer pops up in the initial phase with the above message.

    The box provides commands to install the required librarries, which I used, but it doesn't solve the problem.

    I remember I had a similar issue on my desktop but I think I resolved it by installing XCB package.

    I hope someone in here can help me as I need it for studying reasons.

    Martin

      Use ldd to find out which library is missing and install it.

      Qt Online Installer direct download: https://download.qt.io/official_releases/online_installers/

        I don't know what exactly to look for, but based on similar topics it is the library libxcb-util.so.1 that is the issue.

          Hmm I think the problem was that I didn't run the binary with sudo.
