Not able to open anki after re-install

Anki Help
1

Hello everybody,

I hope someone can help me!

to get the newest version of anki I removed anki and installed it again (how described in the anki manual) on linux ubuntu

When I push the anki symbol to open the programm: nothing happens

When I try to start the programm in the terminal, the follow text appears:

morphopos@GOLEMXIV:~$ anki
Anki starting…
Initial setup…
Preparing to run…
Wayland support is disabled by default due to bugs:

You can force it on with an env var: ANKI_WAYLAND=1
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: minimalegl, linuxfb, eglfs, minimal, vkkhrdisplay, wayland-egl, offscreen, wayland, xcb, vnc.

P.S.: when I try to reinstall and install again, the problem is still there. I’m not able to open Anki anymore

Does this answer your question? Missing Libraries - Anki Manual . If not, you should look at the rest of the Linux Platform Notes section.

Unfortunately no. I have tried it out to use the suggested terminal textes, but nothing helps. When I use QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 anki

this appears:

QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 anki

Ok, I was able to solve the problem with installing libxcb-cursor0 with the following commands:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get -y install libxcb-cursor0
