Hello everyone, I am trying to run VAPOR 3.7.0 on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS using the precompiled binaries, however I am getting this error: _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: xcb._ _Aborted (core dumped)_ I tried to reinstall some qt libraries but I am not sure which one I should install or reinstall. Thanks, Oscar ---

Could you try re-running vapor after setting the environment variable VAPOR\_DEBUG=1, and let us know the output? IE - in a terminal: export VAPOR\_DEBUG=1 bin/vapor ---

Hi Pearse, thanks a lot for your reply. After typing in the terminal your instructions I get the same message, no extra info: _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: xcb._ _Aborted (core dumped)_ Best, Oscar ---

Hmm that’s strange. There should be a plethora of diagnostic messages being fed into the terminal. I believe our latest Ubuntu test system is running version 20.X. I’ll try to reproduce this tomorrow but it may be time build a new test system. Stay tuned on this thread for updates, but this issue may get transferred to github so we can track it there. ---

I can reproduce the crash and we have a ticket issued [here](https://github.com/NCAR/VAPOR/issues/3278). Ubuntu 22 came out a month after we released so we didn’t test it. Our next weekly installer should have a fix for this (I think). ---

Hi, Thank you very much for looking into this issue. I look forward the next installer. Cheers. ---

@ochimborazo I believe I have a fix. Could you please try [this installer](https://output.circle-artifacts.com/output/job/14e5d12c-e3c3-4880-bfd3-0245d53988c2/artifacts/0/tmp/workspace/installers/VAPOR3-3.7.1-Ubuntu18.sh) and let us know if it works for you? ---

Hi @pearse with this installer, VAPOR is working well so far. I’ll let you know if it crashes at some point. Thank you very much for your help. Oscar ---

Thanks a lot! After having trouble due to Qt versions clashing, I was finally able to run VAPOR by your installer, thank you! ---

I am having the same error because of missing Qt, can you send me the installer @pearse. The link is no longer there ---
