v1706 ParaFoam failed to start
 

Hi there

I have just installed OpenFOAM using Docker on Ubuntu. When tried to run paraFoam I got this error:

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

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
/opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v1706/bin/paraFoam: line 305: 929 Aborted (core dumped) paraview


Any help or suggestion to resolve this error is highly appreciated.

I have the same problem. I hope someone overthere can help us.

Same here. Would be great to get some hints on how to fix this issue!

Thanks

Same thing happened to me on a macbook. Did anyone find a solution ?

Hi

Linux
Please set this environment variable and it will work in Linux platforms

export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=$WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/platforms/linux64Gcc/qt-5.9.0/plugins


For Mac,
we donot support , paraview/paraFoam in Mac version . Please install native binaries from
paraview.org for your system .

Did anyone get this to work? I followed the link but still have the initial error.
