PyQt5 fails to load Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb"

I have PyQt5 installed and I am running an application using it. I am using a virtualenv and everything was installed with pip.

When I try to launch it I receive the following error:

WARNING: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
WARNING: 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.

Aborted (core dumped)

Trying to debug it with export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1, I get:

The qt5_private_api part suggests the application expects an older QT5 version , see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Qt … Qt5_update

Often this can by solved by setting QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME explicitly.

Thanks for your answer. I installed all the libraries using a requirements.txt file in the git repo. I installed them all using pip and virtualenv.

In the case of PyQt5 it says it needs PyQt5==5.9.2, which I did install, but it produced the same error. Otherwise using the last PyQt5 in pip (5.12) also produces the same error.

How can I check QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME explicitly? I have checked your link to the arch wiki, but I am a bit lost.

Re: PyQt5 fails to load Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb"

It may be that your python virtenv doesn't use the value for QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME that's set in your normal environment

run 

$ echo $QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME

to see what it is set to, then adjust the virtenv to set QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME to the same value.
Test if that solves the issue.

Both in my virtualenv or my normal environment, this outputs nothing

Re: PyQt5 fails to load Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb"

That suggests your WM/DE are not Qt-based. What are you using ?

I finally fixed the problem by telling virtualenv to use my system packages when possible. It seems there was some mistake between the pip pyqt5 and my WM/DE qt5 installation.
