I fixed it. After deleting all in the /home/pidl/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/cv2/qt/plugins folder that the bug still happens. Please install. (with opencv-4.4) sudo apt-get install qt5-default

I was facing the same issue. Turns out in my case, python 3.9 was causing this conflict. I managed to solve this by creating a new environment with python 3.8.

commands: conda create -n myenv python=3.8.0 conda activate myenv pip3 install opencv-python==4.2.0.34

For me it worked to downgrade PyQt5 to version 5.13.2.

I am on Python version 3.10.6 and opencv-python version 4.7.0.72.

pip install --upgrade pyqt5_tools

solved my issue. Reference https://github.com/fmjohnson97/habitat_heuristic/issues/2#issuecomment-1751440118

pip install opencv-python-headless

It works for me in a conda env

Use brew, which avoids these errors. On Ubuntu brew works.

brew install pyqt 
brew install wkentaro/labelme/labelme  # command line interface
