MITK linux installer does not work on ubuntu 16.04.2 (on my system)
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Downloading the MITK linux installer and running it produces with me the following error:

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb"
in "".

Available platform plugins are: xcb.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Aborted (core dumped)

I have tried the current qt5-default ubuntu version as well as 5.7.0 from the qt website.

@skohl had the same problem on his notebook. Building MITK worked, though. The 16.11 Linux tarball was recently updated to contain the Qt xcb plugin and it worked for all the people who complained in the first place. Maybe it is related to a missing dependency?

I created a clean VirtualBox VM with 3D acceleration based on Ubuntu 17.04, ran sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and installed the Guest Additions. Everything worked. Couldn't reproduce. Will do the same for Ubuntu 16.04...

Could reproduce with Ubuntu 16.04. We should create another tarball on Ubuntu 16.04, or even 14.04 and see if they are forward compatible.

I built the installer package on Ubuntu 14.04 and replaced the current package on our server.

@skohl @zimmerer Could you download the new installer and try again? Thanks!

kislinsk added a project: Restricted Project.

Installer doesn't work as it tries to load VBoxOGLcrutils.so. I try to build another installer in VirtualBox without the Guest Additions...
