Failing to start release on Debian

[vans163]

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb".

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Aborted

lld reveals that libX11-xcb.so.1 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11-xcb.so.1 (0x00007f2f4bcfb000) xcb is indeed being loaded.

I have the exact same problem ! Please let me know if there is any other step to be followed to make the application work, I am trying to get this work on a fedora 23 box and ldd as mentioned in the above case reveals no red flags.

@sanmathigb.
Ended up using another soft. Though this one looks better in terms of features.

this is because Qt can't load its platform plugin.

please try this

`
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/platforms/ /usr/lib/platforms

export QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/bin/platforms

and now run this app
`

Thanks much for your response!

Will try that.

@shi-yan Well, I see the same error. I tried your steps. But end up with the same error again..

@shi-yan I am facing the same issue reported here in Debian 9.0
I tried your steps, but no luck.
any suggestion?

I had the same problem (Linux Mint 19.1).
I deleted the three included Qt5 libraries from the program folder and now it works, using the system Qt5 libs. I guess every current distro includes the base Qt5 libs anyway, so it should help in most cases (else you can install them using your distro's package manager.

I got it working on 18.04 with your fix. Thanks! 👍

Like @alexagv I too was able to run this in Ubuntu 18.04 after rm libQt5* from the extracted folder. Thanks for the tip @kybos!
