can't start AppImage on fresh Xubuntu 19.04 - "qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found."
See original GitHub issueRunning off the Xubuntu 19.04 live USB stick:
xubuntu@xubuntu:~/Downloads$ ./Electron-Cash-4.0.12-x86_64.AppImage
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: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, webgl, xcb.
Aborted (core dumped)
When I apt-installed system package python3-pyqt5, this error went away and AppImage started fine. I think the AppImage is missing a .so file somehow… will look into it more.

I can reproduce the issue in a VM. When you install the
libxkbcommon-x11-0package it will work:I’ll see if we can include this library into the AppImage without breaking older distros.
