在ubuntu中使用cv2.imshow()报错 No protocol specified qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display :0

报错

在带有桌面的ubuntu 16.04中，使用cv2.imshow()函数，报错信息如下

No protocol specified
qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display :0
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "/home/wangxin/anaconda3/envs/pytorch1.8_py3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/cv2/qt/plugins" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

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

Aborted (core dumped)

解决方案

下面的方法亲测成功。

1. 更换较低版本的opencv-python

参考博客《qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display解决方案》，更具体来说，参考链接https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60032540/opencv-cv2-imshow-is-not-working-because-of-the-qt

先卸载当前版本opencv-python，再安装较低版本opencv-python==4.1.0.25

pip uninstall opencv-python
pip install opencv-python==4.1.0.25 -i http://pypi.douban.com/simple/ --trusted-host pypi.douban.com

此时，再使用cv2.imshow()函数，依然会出现报错信息，如下

No protocol specified
: cannnot connect to X server : 0

2. 设置X server

参考博客《解决xhost: unable to open display》

切回到root账号下，在root账号下，输入如下命令

export DISPLAY=:0.0
xhost +

出现access control disabled, clients can connect from any host即为成功。

上面，export DISPLAY=:0.0意为将图片展示在本机。
