XnView on WSL2: Could not load the Qt platform

[dric512]

I have WSL2 installed on Windows 11 and try to launch XnView directly from WSL. The goal is to open scripts which are on the Linux side.

I have been able to run it on a previous laptop, but although I was able to install the .deb file and fixed missing dependencies, when I launch it I have the following message:

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: linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, xcb.

I guess this is because I am missing some packages, but can't find which ones?
I can open other GUI applications with no issue.

do you start xnview.sh?

No directly `/usr/bin/xnview`.

I installed `qt6-base-dev` and now it opens correctly, not sure why it makes a difference.
