Version 4.2.4 Appimage not working

See original GitHub issue

Version 4.2.4 Appimage will not run. This is the error if I try to run it from the command line. Version 4.2.3 is working normally. I am using Ubuntu 20.04 Desktop.

$ ./Electron-Cash-4.2.4-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)

@ersk, will address this soon, I created #2196 to track it. You can subscribe there to get notifications. I’ll post a test build there.

On Debian 10, upon doing ldd squashfs-root/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/PyQt5/Qt/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so, I got : libxcb-util.so.1 => not found

Unfortunately libxcb-util.so.1 is available only on testing/unstable.

So one solution that worked for me was creating a symlink to libxcb-util.so.0: ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb-util.so.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb-util.so.1

Please consider adding this binary in the next AppImage.
