[SOLVED] re-install problems

Postby nwtmg » Apr 1st, '20, 15:42

recently for reasons I had to reinstall mageia. Downloaded 32 bit 7.1 and successfully installed. Encountering some problems when I am trying to install some software.

Virtualbox and Falkon

Code: Select all
Qt FATAL: 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, vnc, xcb.


Located too much info on the web on this problem using google.

Also under the menu my System menu item is missing so no mageia control panel. Thanks for your help.

What does "Virtualbox and Falkon" mean above the code box? Are you trying to run falkon inside a virtualbox VM ? Or does that happen when you try to run falkon or virtualbox ?
Might be helpful if you could run either from a terminal prefixed with
Code: Select all
QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1
and post the whole output here.

For the mageia control panel, is the package drakconf installed? What happens when you run drakconf from a terminal as regular user, and as root?

Thanks for the response

Ran falkon at the prompt and got the following results

Code: Select all
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
Fatal: 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, vnc, xcb.


Regards the menu the right click menu items are different from the menu items on the panel.

Well for the first one, you had an error downloading packages. For the second, there's no error - but what happened afterwards, after the prompt? There's nothing wrong with your Qt installation so far.
