    Do you mean run tests on your GUI in GitLab ?

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

        I am using Qt-5.15.0, got the same problem.
        More details are:
        QLibraryPrivate::loadPlugin failed on "/opt/Qt/5.15.0/gcc_64/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so" : "Cannot load library /opt/Qt/5.15.0/gcc_64/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so: (libxcb-xinerama.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)"

        Solved by installing the dependent package.
        Command to install: sudo apt-get install libxcb-xinerama0

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

              "qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display"

              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

                cling::DynamicLibraryManager::loadLibrary(): /home/matteo/anaconda3/bin/../lib/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined symbol: FT_Done_MM_Var
                Error in TInterpreter::TCling::AutoLoad: failure loading library libGX11TTF.so for TGX11TTF
                cling::DynamicLibraryManager::loadLibrary(): /home/matteo/anaconda3/bin/../lib/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined symbol: FT_Done_MM_Var
                Info in TApplication::InitializeGraphics: no TTF support

                While, at the end, just before it crushes, (after export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1) I get the following

                QFactoryLoader::QFactoryLoader() checking directory path "/home/matteo/anaconda3/plugins/platforms" ...

                The output of the command ls -l /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Xcb* is

                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 ?

                    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?

                      @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.

                        @Matriarch, thank you,

                        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.

                            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)

                            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.

                              Hi,

                              You should run your application with the QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS environment variable set to 1 to see what might go wrong when the plugin is loaded.

                              @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

                                    I have been trying to automatically LiveStream OBS-Studio, for sometime now, I was getting the error message reported here.
                                    My setup is Ubuntu 21.0.4 OBS-Studio 27.01. I have a scrip that runs OBS with all the correct parameters to choose the correct video depending on the day of week. This script works perfectly. But it would not run from crontab.
                                    The bulk of this post did not seem like it was solving the real problem and did not solve mine.

                                    The thing is my script did work when I ran it from the command line from within my "GUI" session. This indicates to me that I had all the correct things in place to run my script.

                                    After some thought I realised .....
                                    crontab runs on the console, if you want to think of it as an old tty terminal not a GUI session.

                                    So I determined what my $DISPLAY is by typing "echo $DISPLAY, in my case this returned 0 (zero).

                                    Now I know my DISPLAY I putting the DISPLAY=0 in the users crontab, before calling my script and this worked.

                                    As above, I determined my DISPLAY number by: Typing echo $DISPLAY and pressing ENTER. This gave me 0.

                                    My crontab now has: 55 20 * * * DISPLAY=:0 /home/pats/Documents/LiveStreamFiles/scripts/myscript.sh 2>&1 &

                                    Thanks again and I hope this helps others...

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

                                        qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display :1.0

                                        Same question and answer as in your thread https://forum.qt.io/topic/130978/qt-qpa-plugin-could-not-load-the-qt-platform-plugin-xcb-in. Not an xcb library loading problem, rather however your X display is set up/connecting.

                                        Please pick one or other thread to discuss. Suggest the other one now that you have started it.

                                          I, think I just had the same problem (on Debian 10). Did a sys-update -> QtCreator does not start anymore.
                                          How I got QtCreator to start again is by adding a soft link to libxcb-util since it seems that the platformplugi is trying to load the wrong version?

                                          sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb-util.so.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb-util.so.1
                                          

                                          That might not be a perfect solution but now I can use it again at least.
