[SOLVED] Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found

Software Rapid Photo Downloader
1

Hi there,

I have installed RDP with the install script, but it fails to start.

When starting the application from the command line, it fails with the following 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, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, webgl, xcb.

My system:

  • Xubuntu 18.04 LTS
  • Remote login via TightVNC server and Remmina
  • python3.6
  • python3 install.py

python3 -m pip show rapid-photo-downloader:

I could not find an RPD folder under the ~/.cache/.

So (after some google searching) I tried to enable the debug messages for the plugins with exporting QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1

Here is the output when I try to start the application:
QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1

~$ export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1

Welcome @arkroan!

So you can start X11 applications locally and only RPD fails?

libxkbcommon-x11 is missing. What happens if you install it (sudo apt-get install libxkbcommon-x11-0)?

HTH,

Hi @floessie ,

Thanks for your suggestion. This is what was actually missing.
Doing a sudo apt install libxkbcommon-x11-0 fixed the problem.

To answer your question, yes, I am using VNC or SSH -X to start X11 applications remotely and everything else was working fine.
Now RPD also works!

Best Regards,

Thanks @floessie. I’ve added that package to the install script.

After fresh install QT Creator, I met the same issue.
I solved it by install libxcb-xinerama0

sudo apt install libxcb-xinerama0

Thank you @adgnaf. I am adding that to the install script for Debian and its derivatives. I’ll need to investigate if other distros are also affected.

Hi I have the same problem but can’t solve it installing libxkbcommon-x11. It’s already installed. I use bunsenlabs Lithium.

So, let me know if you need further information. And thank you for any help.

Kind regards,

Hi Moritz,

The library your system is missing seams to be libxcb-util.so.1. I don’t know anything about “Lithium”, but under Debian that is libxcb-util1.

HTH,

Hi @floessie,

Thank you for the help. I found out that Bunsenlabs is based on Debian 10 at the moment and libxcb-util.so.1 is part of bullseye. I gave up : ). Buuuut I just found out that Debian 11 is stable now and I’m just gonna wait for bunsenlabs to upgrade. I’ll get back if that works. Thank you again.
