if I try to start hython from terminal in linux I am getting this error
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.
I had the problem in ubuntu 22.04 and also arch .
using houdini 20.5 also had this with 20.0
could not find anything about this via forum search .

Yeah it was working fine and I installed something that broke hython in 20.5 . 20.0.251 hython works fine. super strange. is there a path of something that could get pointed to the wrong place? I did install pyside6 for another app trying to think what I installed that broke it . its just strange that it was working fine . I tried to reinstall 20.5.311 and same issue . py10 version

If you're installing it within a virtualenv, it shouldn't affect Houdini unless you have the environment active when you start Houdini or source houdini_setup. Is that what you're doing? Check the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PYTHONPATH and PYTHONHOME environment variables and see if something has been inserted.
