TeamSpeak 3 Client fails to launch on latest Kali Linux (missing libraries)

[QelvraX]

Hello,

I am unable to launch the official TeamSpeak 3 Client on the latest version of Kali Linux (rolling release, fully updated).

After downloading the client from the official website and trying to run ts3client_runscript.sh, the application does not start. When running from the terminal, I receive errors related to missing Qt and xcb libraries.

Observed errors (similar to these):

• qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb"

• Failed to load platform plugin "xcb"

What I have tried so far:

• Installing common libraries such as libxcb-xinerama0, libqt5widgets5, libqt5gui5, and libxcb-icccm4.

• The issue may be related to recent package changes in Debian-based distributions (e.g., libevent-2.1-7t64 replacing older versions).

My questions:

1. Is the TeamSpeak 3 Client officially compatible with recent Kali Linux / Debian-based distributions?

2. Are there any specific library versions or dependencies that are known to be required but are missing on newer Linux systems?

3. Does the TeamSpeak team plan to release an updated client binary that links against modern libraries to resolve these xcb and Qt platform plugin issues?

System details:

• OS: Kali Linux (latest rolling release, up-to-date as of May 2026)

• TeamSpeak Client version: Latest from official website (3.x)

Thank you for your assistance.

TeamSpeak on Kali Linux can't be started - Always closing itself

Hi.I am using the Kali Linux version. I want to install the client version. After installation, I accept all the rules, but after clicking the ‘accept’ option, the program closes! And every time I touch it with my hand, it opens and closes automatically. .
