This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb".

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Aborted (core dumped)

I use freenect_launch to activate kinect. Nothing is strange except this warning.

[ WARN] [1436104496.653971362]: Could not find any compatible depth output mode for 1. Falling back to default depth output mode 1.

Can anyone help me?

Did you try sudo apt-get install xcb?

What version of ubuntu are you running? What happens if you type qmake --version?

I'd like to push this thread, because I have exactly the same problem and can't find a solution. I tried installing xcb and qmake --version gives QMake version 3.0 Using Qt version 5.5.1 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu Interestingly this problem occured a few days ago, I don't know when exactly.

@mherrmann are you still having this issue? Sorry, was not on ROS answers for a good while

@allenh1 Thanks for your reply, my problem can be traced back to an installation of a camera driver, which installed a second qt5 version and added the search path. More details here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5...

Hey @mherrmann I'm running into the same error. Could you provide some details on how you fixed it? 1&2 of the stackoverflow did not help my case.
