qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in ""
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Aborted (core dumped)

I will investigate and come back later, something with Qt plugins...

@hugokoopmans This is a known issue: https://github.com/PetervanLunteren/AddaxAI/blob/main/install_files/linux/install.command#L188C1-L200C4

I haven't found a solution yet. I think an admin install solves it, can you confirm?

Do you perhaps you have an other suggestion?

If not, it would probably be good to show a message saying this is the problem instead of having it crash... Or just guide users to always do the linux install with admin rights. Linux users are generally not restricted by IT teams.

The same error in Gentoo, all xcb-utils are installed. I think this is because of some mismatches between Python, Qt5 and Qt6. In Gentoo the system Qt is version 6.x, Qt5 and its Python bindings are in compatibility mode. Maybe we need to set pyqt5 or pyqt6 directly somewhere in the app code. Sorry, I'm just a noob in Python so cannot patch it by myself. I'll try to install Kubuntu with system Qt5 and test AddaxAI in it.

Thanks @UlvHare, let me know what you find. All these different frontend packages are a pain... We might be working on a new frontend all together, where all these problems will be solved (hopefully!)
