XnView MP doesn't run on Xubuntu 20.04 LTS 64 bit

Hello everyone. I installed XnView MP on my Xubuntu machine, but it doesn't start. Here's the output from the console:

Code: Select all

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, webgl, xcb.

So, I installed the missing packages and now I'm able to run the XnView. Hooray :D !

Code: Select all

sudo apt install libxcb-image0
sudo apt install libxcb-keysyms1
sudo apt install libxcb-render-util0
sudo apt install libxcb-xkb1
sudo apt install libxkbcommon-x11-0

I ran into this problem as well and your debugging helped. I installed the packages you listed but I also needed to install libxcb-icccm4 to get it working on Debian 11 / XFCE4. Just sharing here in case someone else stumbles onto this post looking for a fix :)
