I can’t reproduce this error on my Ubuntu 22.04 (nvidia drivers). I have tried both latest stable and preview (are you running on Wayland?). I would think the best candidate for this problem is a dependent package missing :

1. Make sure you have all the dependencies required for Slicer installed ([Getting Started — 3D Slicer documentation](https://slicer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/getting_started.html#debian-ubuntu))

2. If this does not work, I would suggest that you install the packages we normally use for development (this may pull whatever dependency is missing ([GNU/Linux systems — 3D Slicer documentation](https://slicer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developer_guide/build_instructions/linux.html#ubuntu-21-10-impish-indri)), this is a difference between my Ubuntu 22.04 and a fresh install:

```bash
sudo apt update && sudo apt install git subversion build-essential cmake cmake-curses-gui cmake-qt-gui \
  qtmultimedia5-dev qttools5-dev libqt5xmlpatterns5-dev libqt5svg5-dev qtwebengine5-dev qtscript5-dev \
  qtbase5-private-dev libqt5x11extras5-dev libxt-dev libssl-dev

```

1. If none of these works. You can scan through ([Can't start latest stable on ubuntu 20.04 - #18 by manjula](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/cant-start-latest-stable-on-ubuntu-20-04/14029/18)), which was a long discussion around xcb-related problems. Perhaps some of the answer could be useful.

2. If none of this works, I could try to reproduce this in a fresh installation.

Let us know how this goes.
