Could not load QT platform plugin xcb

joejoe31b · 2019-12-22 01:52:53

Hi guys, I was hoping for a little help...

Since the full-system upgrade I did yesterday I can't start KDE5 of any Qt applications because of an error with XCB.

My system is up-to-date.

:: Synchronizing package databases...
downloading core.db...
downloading extra.db...
downloading community.db...
downloading multilib.db...
:: Starting full system upgrade...
warning: xorg-xdpyinfo: local (1.3.2-3) is newer than extra (1.3.2-2)
 there is nothing to do

This is the output of `kstart5` with the Qt debug flag set for more verbose output.

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: wayland-org.kde.kwin.qpa, dxcb, eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, xcb.

I'm not sure what I can do to further debug this,

Please let me know if there is any more information I can provide

libxcb depends on libx11 , which was changed recently.
The change was reverted fast because there were to much issues.

Try updating again.
