No Qt platform plugin could be initialized

[dalemartin]

Describe the bug

Launching the GUI fails (it never appears) with the following message:

This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vkkhrdisplay, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, xcb.

Aborted

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. In a terminal, run export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 (for Qt debug)
2. In the same terminal launch the app

Expected behavior

GUI should launch normally, but it never appears.

OneDriveGUI info How did you install OneDriveGUI?: AppImage What is the name of the AppImage file (if applicable)? : OneDriveGUI-1.0.3_fix150-x86_64.AppImage

Additional context

I am testing in a QEMU/KVM virtual machine configured as described above.

@dalemartin I don't think I'll be able to help this issue. It looks like some potential incompatibility with your system. But here are some ideas that you can try:

1)try the original 1.0.3 AppImage without any additional fixes. It was packed with older versions of python and libraries. 2) try the 1.1.0RC1 AppImage. It will not be compatible with your onedrive client, but I just want to see if the GUI can start. 3)try to install the GUI manually and run in from source. 4)Try on newer version of Debian. I think Debian 11 will be EOL this year anyway.

[dalemartin]

I just observed the same behaviour and logs on Ubuntu 22.04 + XFCE (aka Xubuntu).

@bpozdena thanks for the ideas. I doubt I'll pursue this as it's not critical that I get my XFCE installation working. Thanks.

[dalemartin]

Update: because they were so easy, I tried items 1 and 2. Both worked, though as you said onedrive is incompatible with 1.1.0RC1.

[bpozdena]

Ok great. Please keep using v1.0.3 for now. At least we know GUI v1.1 will work for you too once the onedrive client v.2.5 will release.
