    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,

        @DmitriyMarin, your command worked well.

        sudo apt install libxcb-cursor0
        

        Now program is starting.

        Thank you for your help
