Been some time since i have used linux and i am having issue with running OBS via x session in order to able to use flatpak versions built in chat and stream info docks.
In the past i found i need to use this command in terminal and this was working fine:
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb com.obsproject.Studio
However this week when i had done fresh install of Endavour OS (using plasma as my DE) and tried running obs using that command i get:
qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display
qt.qpa.plugin: From 6.5.0, xcb-cursor0 or libxcb-cursor0 is needed to load the Qt xcb platform plugin.
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: wayland-egl, eglfs, minimalegl, wayland, linuxfb, vkkhrdisplay, xcb, minimal, offscreen, vnc.
Seems main issue looks to be need for that xcb cursor, however when i tried to install packages like xcb-cursor-util and others related to xcb libraries, they are already installed and up to date. Looking online haven't found anything else useful. Only other people having similiar issues with cursor plugin issues in forum posts that are like 2-3 years old, but on other projects and things, not related to OBS.
Any ideas what exactly is causing this or how to solve this issue?
