This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb"

I'm running HipChat client inside chroot and when I tried to execute it, got this error:

root@fmachado:# hipchat4 
hello 0.487111
PackageLocation: "/opt/HipChat4/share/localweb/package.json"
package.json opened
package.json valid
package.json object
package.json version value =  "4.30.3"
Reading config.ini file
force_server= false  value= ""
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb"
in "".

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Aborted (core dumped)

Quick and dirty solution

apt-get install qt5-default
