   What behavior did you expect? Open Bitcoin Core

   What was the actual behavior (provide screenshots if the issue is GUI-related)? Opening Bitcoin Core generates error, through the bitcoin.qt command, the error it displays is This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin “wayland-egl”. Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, xcb. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

   I tried to reinstall and it did not work

   What version of Bitcoin Core are you using, where did you get it (website, self-compiled, etc)? Snap

   • 0.17.0.1 - Stable
   • Beta
   • Edge

   For the GUI-related issue on Linux provide names and versions of a distro, a desktop environment and a graphical shell (if relevant). Ubuntu 19 - Gnome Beta 3.31.90

   The bitcoin package was removed. Please backup your wallet and upgrade to the bitcoin-core package.

   In terminal “bitcoin-core.qt” This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin “wayland-egl” in “”.

   Available platform plugins are: xcb.

   Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

   I reinstalled through the snap

   Does this also happen on a vanilla Ubuntu 19.04? It worked for me (see screenshot above)

    On the login screen, if I am selected in the regular user, it works, but if I select Ubuntu with wayland it is that the program does not work for me

    Thx.

    For now, you can work around this by DISABLE_WAYLAND=1 bitcoin-core.qt
