Faced problems when using a jupyter notebook and tried to do a simple plot using matplotlib.
Hit many errors,
ImportError: Failed to import any qt binding
Also tried installing some libraries in my WSL Ubuntu Linux
sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-glx
But didn't solve the problem:
ImportError: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
After installing other packages I only got from Jupyter a message Kernel is dead.
How to solve issue?
TL;DR;
sudo apt-get install libxkbcommon-x11-0
More details:
After a lot of googling, what pointed me in the right direction was (this site)[https://forum.qt.io/topic/93247/qt-qpa-plugin-could-not-load-the-qt-platform-plugin-xcb-in-even-though-it-was-found/3] where SGaist's comment of doing
$ export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1
$ jupyter qtconsole
Showed:
.../site-packages/PyQt5/Qt/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so: (libxkbcommon-x11.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
Which can be installed doing:
sudo apt-get install libxkbcommon-x11-0
And then it all worked....!
Hope this can help someone...
