Paraview cannot be launched (missing Qt libraries)

Created by Alice König, Modified on Fri, 28 Nov at 9:49 AM by Alice König

Problem description


The simulation could be launched successfully, and output data should have been written to the drive already. The
"Start Paraview" button in the visualiuation section is active but Paraview does not launch. (Reported for Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 and Paraview 5.12.1 and 5.13.1).

Cause


ParaView does not ship all required libraries.
Package libqt5x11extras5 is not available on the system.

Measure


Please go to the installation path of Paraview and check if it can launched via the terminal from there. Please install the
missing library (on ubuntu: libqt5x11extras5) then.
