XnView on WSL2: Could not load the Qt platform
Posted: Sat Feb 22, 2025 8:32 pm
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:
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.
