Warning: could not connect to display
Hello i am new to klayout. I am using Ubuntu 20.04 and get the following mesage when i try to load a gds file (actually i get this mesage when i try to do anything with klayout). It is probably an easy fix. Thanks for any help in advance.
**Warning: could not connect to display

Maybe a version incompatibility, or a sub-dependency of 'xcb'
that is unsatisfied? There's a jumble of Qt4. Qt5 out there as I
make it out, and if you've pulled from various sources, may have
some sorting out to do?
I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 as well and I've never seen this issue.
I quick search reveals this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1271976/could-not-load-the-qt-platform-plugin-xcb-in-even-though-it-was-found
Have you tried that?
