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

[StevenlAFl]

I got this error when loading a QT6 program that didn't ship the required QT6 plugins. Instead, the plugin package loaded was a QT5 one, so there was a mismatch.

apt-get install qt6-qpa-plugins will install the libqxcb.so file required along with libqeglfs.so, libqminimalegl.so, libqoffscreen.so, libqvnc.so, libqlinuxfb.so, libqminimal.so and libqvkkhrdisplay.so.

same error
trying to run autolabelimg on my local machine
github repo - https://github.com/wufan-tb/AutoLabelImg

while doing the same the error I am getting continuously while trying to open the software is -
(ano) workstation@workstation-HP-Z4-G4-Workstation:~/AutoLabelImg$ python labelImg.py
QObject::moveToThread: Current thread (0x5616f4c8c8c0) is not the object's thread (0x5616f9c826f0).
Cannot move to target thread (0x5616f4c8c8c0)

qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "/home/workstation/anaconda3/envs/ano/lib/python3.7/site-packages/cv2/qt/plugins" 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: xcb, eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, webgl.

Aborted (core dumped)

have tried reinstalling libxcb, i have tried export Qt platform plugin set command also, have tried the famous sudo apt-get install libxcb-xinerama0 command also, nothing is helping

using ubuntu 20.04, can someone please help

@ami01 You should really use the search function in this forum. This is asked very often.
To debug plug-in problems like yours do: set QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS env variable before ruinning your app, then inspect (or post here) its output. See https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/debug.html for details.

@ami01 I laready provided this information to you here: https://forum.qt.io/topic/148718/qt-qpa-plugin-could-not-load-the-qt-platform-plugin-xcb-in-even-though-it-was-found/6
Did you actually try that? If not - why?

@jsulm yes

[agguro]

a bit late but for future use and reference. followed the ldd on the plugin and libxcursor.so wasn't found. My solution:
sudo apt install libxcb-*
and it works (Qt6 already)

I have this problem and sudo apt install libxcb-* did not help:

I tried putting all of the dump in but was told it was spam, so what do you need apart from

We don't know why you are getting this. Let's start with: are you using any threads, or is there anything "funny" about your Qt application?

[IanH222]

It's loaded as part of a python script, and the problem is in matplotlib code.

It looks like it's potentially a problem with PyTorch's DataLoader using threads, and then me asking matplotlib to imshow some data that was originally loaded on a different thread. But I can't go much deeper than that because the rest is all in libraries.

[JonB]

@IanH222
I know that you must not try to do any Qt UI stuff in anything but the main thread, but I don't know how that relates to whatever you are doing in matplotlib.

[IanH222]

Thanks, appreciate the help. I'll ask in the forum for this code snippet.
