I’ve installed IDA Free, using steam-run to get the installer to work. I also need to use steam-run to run ida64, as otherwise it simply segfaults.
~/ida> steam-run ./ida64
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.
Other results discussing this error were unhelpful. There’s this github issue discussing the same error but with appimage-run: appimage-run: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found. · Issue #238820 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub
Their solution was QT_PLUGIN_PATH= appimage-run ./Tahoma2D.AppImage. This solution does not work for me, I’ve tried QT_PLUGIN_PATH= steam-run ./ida64 to no avail.
Here’s the output with QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1
~/ida> QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 steam-run ./ida64

Here’s my system information:
nix-info -m
- system: `"x86_64-linux"`
- host os: `Linux 6.3.6, NixOS, 23.11 (Tapir), 23.11pre493468.dc6e512861a`
- multi-user?: `yes`
- sandbox: `yes`
- version: `nix-env (Nix) 2.15.1`
- channels(ego): `""`
- channels(root): `"nixos, nixpkgs, old-22.05"`
- nixpkgs: `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos`
Any ideas? I would really like to be able to use IDA on NixOS.
