MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Calibre 5.0.1 Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" FIXED

ckronengold · 02-28-2021, 07:47 AM

Installed Calibre on ubuntu 20.04 from the copy/paste install on the calibre website and it failed to run.

Per the dev's post, I installed libxcb-xinerama0, but already had the latest version.

Then I tried apt-get install libxcb* and calibre failed to run. Tried apt-get install qt5* and still no luck.

Did the "isolated" install and also failed to run with the same error.

The link to this thread from the install page is now almost 6 months old. This issue still hasn't been definitely resolved?
