    When starting directly on the BBB, do you use the same backend ?

      Same backend?? Can you tell me what backend is being asked about?

      Also I cannot directly start Qtcreator on BBB, since i don't have it installed on the BBB, and only use the cross-compilation on the ubuntu system to compile and deploy the app to the BBB (and nothing else)....don't know if that makes sense.

        Backed: xcb, eglfs, etc.

        No need for Qt Creator on your target, I meant literally starting your application on it, for example through the command line.

            So it looks like your X server installation is incomplete to run Qt applications with the xcb backend. I would start by fixing that.

                  @jsulm
                  That package is already installed according to the apt-install as can be seen in the below image:
                  deca5e9d-2775-47f2-a1c0-1723b737d0d6-image.png

                  Also, when i try to run the app (as debian user) from the terminal, i get the following error:
                  0b37aee9-60d6-40e0-bded-9ec3c3eea984-image.png

                    @Yash_r Why do you start it with sudo?! By default starting GUI apps with sudo is not allowed for security reasons.

                      I tried running the app without the sudo, and i got the same 'XKeyboard' error as below:

                        It looks like a warning rather than an error per se.

                        You might have to configure something on the X server side.
