qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
-
@hskoglund Thanks for the suggestion!
Actually I did not installed the Qt using apt but all the other dependecies such as qtchooser, etc.
Maybe that is why when i ranqtdiag
, it gave the following output,qtdiag: could not find a Qt installation of ''
?
Please suggest. -
Hmm, so apt gave you a piecemeal version of Qt, however enough stuff to error out AppImage.
That older/faulty libQt5XcbQpa.so.5 should be in your /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu anyways, try this in Terminal:
strings /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5XcbQpa.so.5 | grep Qt | more
In that list should be some version markers, like Qt_5_PRIVATE_API, Qt_5 and Qt_5.9 or something similar...
Edit: just realized, there's an easier way to establish the version of that apt-flavored partial Qt installation: just list libQt5XcbQpa in Terminal, like this:
ls -l /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Xcb*
this should show what version apt gave you...
-
@hskoglund
Yes,libQt5XcbQpa.so.5
has Qt_5_PRIVATE_API, Qt_5 and Qt_5.9 in it.

Does that mean that this library is for Qt 5.9? And is not compatible with Qt 5.12.9 that we have installed with Qt installer?
We're getting the similar results for the ls command,

Indeed, the apt version of Qt you've got is 5.9.5. which does not play well with 5.12.9 :-(
Easiest short-term solution to get AppImage working is to try downgrade your 5.12.9 to 5.9.5 (with a bit of luck any 5.9.x version will do, but see if you can find 5.9.5 first).
(Long-term: try purging all apt-flavored Qt stuff from your Ubuntu system and rely solely on Qt's online installer.)
-
@hskoglund Thanks for the confirmation!
Actually as per the application doc, its required to be 5.12 or greater,
For Desktop : you will need Qt5 (5.12 or newer). C++11 support is required!
I've uninstalled qt5-doc and other dependent packages installed via apt and built it again but xcb error is still there.
I'm checking if there is anything else remained to be removed.
Will update. -
If those other programs are installed using apt, then apt should warn you if you issue a
sudo apt remove libqt5gui5
, then other programs are dependent on it (I think so). But I suggest yoy go for it and try the AppImage. Later, if the VLC player malfunctions, you can always do:
sudo apt install libqt5gui5
Also, about the Qt version installed by the online installer: it resides 100% in your $HOME directory, it does not touch anything in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu, nor does it need any Qt files to be installed in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu.
Only disadvantage is that, since apt is unaware of it, you have to keep it updated yourself (but Qt Creator has a nice plugin that periodically checks that for you).
-
@hskoglund Yup, when ahead with this as the primary focus right now is to get this going.
And then i ran the command to create the build as well.
But it failed as qmake was not able to find Qt.[qt/stdout] Found Qt modules: concurrent core dbus gui network qml quick quickcontrols2 quicktemplates2 svg texttospeech widgets [qt/stdout] Extra Qt modules: [qt/stdout] Using qmake: /usr/bin/qmake [qt/stdout] ERROR: Call to qmake failed: qmake: could not find a Qt installation of '' [qt/stdout] [qt/stdout] ERROR: Failed to query Qt paths using qmake -query
Should i set some environment variable or create some softlinks for installed Qt to be used?
Something of that sort should fixed this i think. -
Hmm, if that /usr/bin/qmake is still around, you should get rid of it (I think it's qtchooser):
sudo apt remove qtchooser
Then to point the linphone-desktop package to where your 5.12.9 is, on their github page it says, set these exports:
Qt5_DIR="~/Qt/5.12.9/gcc_64/lib/cmake"
PATH="~/Qt/5.12.9/gcc_64/bin/:$PATH" -
@hskoglund I believe we've found the solution to this.
The problem was ~ (tlide) was not working with .zshrc config.
Hence qmake and other binary were not being found.
I've changed it to the absolute path now.
Running the build again. Lets see :) -
It Worked! :facepalm: :D
Thanks a lot @hskoglund for helping me troubleshoot this! You're great.
So the problem was a ~ from the beginning. This was too silly.
Build is sucsessful and Package is running fine now. -
Guys I still am getting 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.
