Ubuntu 22.04 uses Wayland by default

[macumber]

Issue overview

By default the QT_QPA_PLATFORM is xcb on Ubuntu 20.04, but on 22.04 it's wayland. echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE returns x11 on 20.04 but wayland in 22.04

When launching the OSApp, the platform plugin wayland is not found.

Workaround is to launch the OSApp with QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb OpenStudioApp

Current Behavior

OSApp doesn't run on Ubuntu 22.04

Expected Behavior

OSApp should run for both xcb and wayland

Possible Solution

Install wayland plugins for Ubuntu packages

is that still relevant? I just tested 1.8.0-rc2 on 22.04 and it worked fine on a clean VM?
