Dear ChimeraX users,

I have a problem with the installation of ChimeraX under Debian 10 buster.

I downloaded the ucsf-chimerax_1.3ubuntu18.04_amd64.deb from the 
official website. I installed it one time with: /sudo dpkg -i 
//ucsf-chimerax_1.3ubuntu18.04_amd64.deb /and also with /sudo apt-get 
install .///ucsf-chimerax_1.3ubuntu18.04_amd64.deb./ Both times I get 
the same error message:

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.

The full error message is as attachment in this mail.

I searched the web for an answer and came up with three entries of this 
mailing list. I followed the described way in these mails, but nothing 
worked for me (1st mail: 
https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimerax-users/2021-October/002797.html; 
2nd mail: 
https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimerax-users/2021-October/002770.html; 
3rd mail: 
https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimerax-users/2021-June/002339.html)

Do you have an answer or a solution to my problem?

Greetings from Germany
