Missing graphics in ubuntu-sdk

 

Hi,

TL;DR: What package do I need to install to get the missing graphics in Ubuntu SDK (screenshot [1])?

----

I used to have a working Ubuntu SDK. After not using it for a few weeks, I started it today and discovered that I can't launch my app with the desktop kit (qmlscene) anymore:

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb".
    Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

I checked for missing dependencies, and everything seemed to be OK:

    ldd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/qmlscene | grep xcb
    (output showed everything linked)

Among others, I tried to install libqt5gui5-gles (because apt-file said it contained libqxcb.so), and this caused my ubuntu-sdk (and other packages, like calibre) to be removed (?!). Yes, that's my fault, I didn't pay attention to the message and just hit enter.

Anyway, after a few other failed attempts, I just removed and reinstalled the whole thing:

    sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa
    sudo apt update && sudo apt install ubuntu-sdk
    sudo apt dist-upgrade

Now my Ubuntu SDK works again (including qmlscene). But gray backgrounds are now black, and Ubuntu SDK specific graphics seem to be missing, as you can see in the screenshot [1]. The picture also shows my app running in qmlscene. It's supposed to be [2] light-gray (default pallette), not black - and the red square from the list is missing the delete icon. By the way, I checked and /usr/share/icons/suru/actions/scalable/edit-delete.svg exists.

I also tried to launch ubuntu-sdk from the terminal, but all the output I got was: [3]. One of the errors there mentions info@xxxxx. I have /usr/share/qtcreator/welcomescreen/widgets/images/info@xxxxxx, and apt-file doesn't find anything like info@xxxxx.

And another thing - Ubuntu Browser is in the same situation (black squares instead of icons).

Do you know what I could try to fix this?

Cheers,
Cos
