qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display
I am trying to run turtlesim_node as shown below:
unix20p04p4@DESKTOP-RKF1B6O:~$ ros2 run turtlesim turtlesim_node
Unfortunately, I am getting the following result:
qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display 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, xcb.
Please help.

The problem is unrelated to turtlesim or ROS, for this matter. It is a problem with the display/graphics. A quick Google search gave the following results:

What OS are you using? Are you using a virtual machine?
