Dear Akira,

I agree with R that installing FreeSurfer using the deb is preferred, but if you want to stick to tar.gz,

below is the list of the packages to be installed when you install FreeSurfer using the deb package.

So if you install these packages, you would be able to run freeview.

Hope this helps,

Kiyotaka

That message could be the result of missing system libraries which the Ubuntu 22 FS 7.4.1 .deb package will try to automatically identify, download and install for you. You can download the package via the link MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "secure-web.cisco.com" claiming to be https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist/freesurfer/7.4.1/freesurfer_ubuntu22-7.4.1_amd64.deb and the install can be done with,

… cd to your Downloads to wherever the .deb file is …

$ sudo apt install ./freesurfer_ubuntu22-7.4.1_amd64.deb

If the install succeeds, freesurfer will be under /usr/local/freesurfer/7.4.1 which is the path to use for the environment variable FREESURFER_HOME,

$ export FREESURFER_HOME=/usr/local/freesurfer/7.4.1

If they are not already set in your environment, you should also set,

$ export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=$HOME/.xdg

$ export DISPLAY=:0

- R.

I have installed FreeSurfer 7.4.1 on Ubuntu 22.04 using the binary tar
archive freesurfer-linux-ubuntu22_amd64-7.4.1.tar.gz.

Freeview fails to launch with the following error message:

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, wayland-egl, wayland, webgl,

How can I solve this?
