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

Suddenly robo3t doesn’t start, can’t understand what’s gone wrong. I’m using Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS

Error
usama@usama:~$ robo3t-snap
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin “wayland-egl”
in “”.

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, xcb.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Hi @usama, did you happen to switch your desktop to a wayland-based one?

It seems the packager did not include support for wayland in their snap. You should be able to log back into an X11-based session to get it working again.

I solved this issue by moving to 19.04 LTS

Snaps should work regardless of your host operating system, so this is still a problem with the snap in question. Unfortunately there’s no contact info for the snap and I didn’t find the source through a quick google search… If you know where to report this issue, you should :slight_smile:
