When running on Linux, I get an error about a problem loading the "xcb" plugin and the program does not start.

When running on Linux, I get an error about a problem loading the "xcb" plugin and the program does not start.

From version 4.1 IdeaMapper has been built with Qt 6.5. For Qt 6.5 the "xcb-cursor0" or "libxcb-cursor0" library is required. You need to install this library on your computer. 

For Ubuntu you would do the following:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install libxcb-cursor0
