Qt application autorun on linux embedded - "xcb" error

I develop software in Qt for a microcomputer based on Cortex imx6. On this platform, I have installed Linux prepared for this uP and Qt.

uname -a

Linux colibri-imx6 4.1.35-v2.7b1+gc1177831f5a1 #11 SMP Tue Jun 20 13:05:01 CEST 2017 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux

I want to run my app during system startup and I have a problem with this. I wrote a basic service for this:

/etc/init.d/panel-service.sh:

#!/bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: panel-service.sh
# Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog $all
# Required-Stop: $remote_fs $syslog
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: Service to autorun app during system starting.
### END INIT INFO

### START config here:
BUSAGE="usage: $0 {start|stop}";
### END config here.

usage(){
        echo $USAGE >&2
}
start(){
        echo "Start panel service"
        sh /home/root/panel.sh
}
case "$1" in
    start)
                start
                ;;
        stop)
                stop
                ;;
        restart)
                stop
                start
                ;;
        *)
            usage
            exit 1
            ;;
esac

/home/root/panel.sh:

#!/bin/sh

echo "Script is already run"
/home/root/panel

After rebooting my device, I got an error:

QML debugging is enabled. Only use this in a safe environment. This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "".

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. /media/sdcard/panel.sh: line 11: 410 Aborted panel

/home/root/panel

It's strange, because my app don't use libxcb.so...

I tried to add script to /etc/profile.d with the same error and I set auto log on root during system loading, but with no other results. When I run app or service after full system load from terminal, everything works fine and the app starts, so I have all of the necessary libraries. I don't know why it doesn't start after reboot.

Differents in env between time, when script is call and full system load. Script call moment:

CONSOLE=/dev/console
TERM=linux
SHELL=/bin/sh
OLDPWD=/
INIT_VERSION=sysvinit-2.88
PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
RUNLEVEL=5
runlevel=5
PWD=/media/sdcard
VERBOSE=no
PREVLEVEL=N
previous=N
fbmem=24M
HOME=/
SHLVL=2
fec_mac=00:14:2d:4a:4a:cb
enable_wait_mode=off
_=/usr/bin/env

After system load:

HZ=100
SHELL=/bin/sh
TERM=linux
HUSHLOGIN=FALSE
USER=root
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
QT_QPA_EGLFS_FORCE888=1
PWD=/home/root
EDITOR=vi
QT_QPA_EGLFS_PHYSICAL_WIDTH=154
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=eglfs
PS1=\u@\h:\w\$ 
QT_QPA_EGLFS_FORCEVSYNC=1
SHLVL=1
HOME=/home/root
LOGNAME=root
QT_QPA_EGLFS_PHYSICAL_HEIGHT=85
_=/usr/bin/env

Can I set QT env variables which aren't set during system starting?

In my case the point is to set Qt env variables in bash script using export. Below last version of my script:

#!/bin/bash
PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin
export QT_QPA_EGLFS_FORCE888=1
export QT_QPA_EGLFS_PHYSICAL_WIDTH=154
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=eglfs
export QT_QPA_EGLFS_FORCEVSYNC=1
export QT_QPA_EGLFS_PHYSICAL_HEIGHT=85
export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib/qt5/plugins

echo "Script is already run"
cd /home/root/
panel

It work like a charm. :)

The header in your /home/root/panel.sh is wrong, corrected as below. Also its import to make sure of env settings mainly $PATH variable. You can correct it in your script by explicitly adding the needed PATH to your script, for example:

#!/bin/bash
PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin

echo "Script is already run"
/home/root/panel
