      I am newbee and that is my problem when i launch in ubuntu:

      saving context
      launching SAMSON-Core
      qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
      This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
      
      Available platform plugins are: xcb, offscreen, minimal, wayland-egl, vkkhrdisplay, linuxfb, eglfs, minimalegl, wayland, vnc.
      
      Aborted (core dumped)
      restoring context
      

      Thanks in advance

        Dear @Ahmet-Can ,

        Sorry about the issue. You might need to install some additional system libraries on your Ubuntu which we do not ship with SAMSON.

        See: SAMSON User Guide - Cannot launch SAMSON on Linux due to missing xcb

        Basically, for Ubuntu, run the following command in the terminal:

        sudo apt install libxcb-xinerama0, libxcb-cursor0
        

        Please let me know if it works for you.

        Dmitriy,
