error starting maestral after install on new system #1078

Closed dhdurgee closed 1 month ago

dhdurgee commented 1 month ago

I am migrating to a new laptop with linux mint 22 cinnamon and I followed your directions to install maestral:

$ python3 -m venv maestral-venv $ source maestral-venv/bin/activate (maestral-venv)$ python3 -m pip install --upgrade 'maestral[gui]'

I copied my maestral config file from the old system and tried to start it, but got this:

(maestral-venv) dhdurgee@A31524PT:~/Downloads$ maestral gui qt.qpa.plugin: From 6.5.0, xcb-cursor0 or libxcb-cursor0 is needed to load the Qt xcb platform plugin. 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: minimalegl, linuxfb, wayland, vkkhrdisplay, offscreen, eglfs, xcb, wayland-egl, vnc, minimal.

Aborted (core dumped) (maestral-venv) dhdurgee@A31524PT:~/Downloads$

How do I correct this?

Even stranger, now that I rebooted I am getting:

dhdurgee@A31524PT:~/Downloads$ maestral maestral: command not found dhdurgee@A31524PT:~/Downloads$ which maestral dhdurgee@A31524PT:~/Downloads$

What do I need to do to get Maestral up and running?

I did get Maestral installed and syncing, but the GUI still will not start. How do I get this working?

dhdurgee commented 1 month ago

Problem solved, didn't read error message clearly.
