I'm trying to install OpenCor



When I try to launch it I got this error message :



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 found lot page on internet and some post, but nothing solved my problem....



I using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS



EDIT :



I have try to :



sudo apt-get install xcb 


Which was already satified, :



xcb is already the newest version (2.4-4.3).
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
linux-headers-4.13.0-36 linux-headers-4.13.0-36-generic
linux-image-4.13.0-36-generic linux-image-extra-4.13.0-36-generic
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 18 not upgraded.


I tried almost everything proposed on this post and have no PPAs installed.



EDIT 2



The command : sudo apt upgrade



return :



Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done

    I am running Xubuntu 16.04. I just downloaded and I ran the OpenCOR application and it ran without a problem. Unfortunately I am unable to duplicate your issue, so all I can do is guess as to what might be causing it. So, I won't be much help there. I also didn't have to install OpenCOR, I just ran it from the OpenCOR-2018-04-23-Linux/bin folder and it ran fine. I am sorry I am not much more help.

Stable OpenCOR 0.5 works on clean Ubuntu 16.04 LTS after



cd ~/Downloads
wget http://www.opencor.ws/downloads/0.5/OpenCOR-0-5-Linux.tar.gz
tar -xf OpenCOR-0-5-Linux.tar.gz
cd OpenCOR-0-5-Linux/
./OpenCOR


but shows warning on launch:

Failed to load module: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio/modules/libgiolibproxy.so


You can remove these messages with



sudo apt-get install glib-networking


But it shows Error: illegal value in the interface:



OpenCOR 0.5 on Ubuntu Xenial



I'm not familiar with this program, so I do not known is it critical or not.

Also it seems that Latest snapshot version works out the box on

clean installation of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.



You can proceed with:
