How to fix plugin could not be loaded on Linux - PySide6

[SteampunkIslande]

Sometimes, when running a PySide6 module, you may get an error:

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: vnc, xcb, wayland, minimalegl, offscreen, minimal, wayland-egl, eglfs, vkkhrdisplay, linuxfb.

Fatal Python error: Aborted

To fix:

sudo apt install libxcb-xinerama0 libxcb-cursor0

Doesn't work for me, unfortunately :( Installed on remote linux server using

conda create -n cutevariant_dev python=3.9
conda activate cutevariant_dev
pip install git+https://github.com/labsquare/cutevariant@devel
python -m cutevariant

Can you post the exact error you are getting ? If you are using a remote server, did you call ssh -X (since this is a GUI) ?

[jcarizza]

Had same issuue and install xcb fixed the problem

sudo apt-get install xcb.

Remember to uninstall and re-install cutevariant again with:

pip uninstall cutevariant
pip install cutevariant
