Hello everyone! My OS i Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and after installing Anki, it’s impossible to launch it because of thie error(s):

```auto
**Anki starting...**
 **Initial setup...**
 **Preparing to run...**
 **File "<string>", line 1, in <module>**
 **File "aqt", line 519, in run**
 **File "aqt", line 592, in _run**
 **File "aqt.profiles", line 139, in setupMeta**
 **File "aqt.profiles", line 424, in _loadMeta**
 **resetting corrupt _global**
 **Qt warning: QGuiApplication::setDesktopFileName: the specified desktop file name ends with .desktop. For compatibility reasons, the .desktop suffix will be removed. Please specify a desktop file name without .desktop suffix**
 **Qt warning: From 6.5.0, xcb-cursor0 or libxcb-cursor0 is needed to load the Qt xcb platform plugin.**
 **Qt info: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.**
 **Qt fatal: This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.**

**Available platform plugins are: wayland, linuxfb, minimalegl, eglfs, xcb, offscreen, wayland-egl, vkkhrdisplay, vnc, minimal.**
 ****
**Annullato (core dump creato)**

I tried with:
*sudo sysctl -w kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=0*
*kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns = 0*

but it doesn't work...

Thanks for your help!

ME
