    I think this happens due to following missing packages:

    • libstdc++6:i386
    • libgtk2.0-0:i386
    • dpkg-dev:i386
    • ncurses5-compat-libs
    • python3-pip
    • libtinfo5
    • libncurses5

    As BKN mentioned, you need to install the missing packages.
    To avoid starting all over again, you can do the following:

    1. Check the log: cat ~/.Xilinx/xinstall/*.log
    2. Locate the error message. It should look something like:
    2022-01-09 10:53:11,458 DEBUG: n.t:? - Executing script Generating installed device list: /tools/Xilinx/Vivado/2021.2/bin/vivado [-nolog, -nojournal, -mode, batch, -source, /tools/Xilinx/Vivado/2021.2/scripts/sysgen/tcl/xlpartinfo.tcl, -tclargs, /tools/Xilinx/Vivado/2021.2/data/parts/installed_devices.txt]
2022-01-09 12:05:35,319 DEBUG: n.t:? - Unable to run GenerateDevListFileLin, exit code: 130, stdout: , stderr: application-specific initialization failed: couldn't load file "librdi_commontasks.so": libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory failure msg:

2022-01-09 12:05:35,319 DEBUG: n.t:? - Executing script Generating installed device list for Model Composer: /tools/Xilinx/Vivado/2021.2/bin/vivado [-nolog, -nojournal, -mode, batch, -source, /tools/Xilinx/Model_Composer/2021.2/data/xmcGenBoardParts.tcl, -tclargs, /tools/Xilinx/Model_Composer/2021.2/../../Vivado/2021.2, librdi_dsp_tcltasks.so, /tools/Xilinx/Model_Composer/2021.2/data]
    1. The log informs you exactly what the missing package is (in this case it was libtinfo), and also provides you with the script to run after you install the package:
    /tools/Xilinx/Vivado/2021.2/bin/vivado -nolog -nojournal -mode batch -source /tools/Xilinx/Vivado/2021.2/scripts/sysgen/tcl/xlpartinfo.tcl -tclargs /tools/Xilinx/Vivado/2021.2/data/parts/installed_devices.txt

    Notes:

    • Make sure to use the Vivado version (here it was 2021.2) and location (here it was /tools/Xilinx) according to your system.
    • You may need to run the script in sudo if the the permissions for writing are not available in user mode.

    I also encounterd this problem on Archlinux with Vivado 2018.3.

    But I just installed the library ncurses5-compat-libs, then the problem is solved.

    Perhaps you can solve this by checking the library ncurses5-compat-libs.

    Download the tar package instead of the self-extracting bin package

    Update the java and python version
    sudo apt-get install -y python3-pip

    Install Dependencies

        sudo apt-get install -y libstdc++6
    sudo apt-get install -y libgtk2.0-0
    sudo apt-get install -y dpkg-dev

    NOTE: Without ibtinfo5 the application will not start and without libncurses5 the simulation will fail

    `sudo apt-get install -y libtinfo5 libncurses5`

    Restart the system

    Untar that Vivado package
    tar -xzvf Xilinx_Unified_2021.2_1021_0703.tar.gz

    Locate the xsetup file in the package

    Install the package in batch mode
    ./xsetup --agree 3rdPartyEULA,XilinxEULA --batch Install --product "Vivado" --edition "Vivado ML Enterprise" --location "/home/USER"

    Once the installation has been successfully completed
    Locate the settings64.sh file
    ./settings64.sh

    Locate the cable drivers
    cd Vivado/2021.2/data/xicom/cable_drivers/lin64/install_scripts/install_drivers
    ./install_drivers

    Installing Vivado Board Files

    Get the board package from the git https://github.com/Digilent/vivado-boards.git

    From the vivado-board-master package copy the folder board_files undert /vivado-board-master/new/board_files

    Paste the board files to Vivado/2021.2/data/boards

    From the vivado-board-master package copy the file Vivado_init.tcl under /vivado-board-master/utility

    Paste the file Vivado_init.tcl to the Vivado installation

    That’s it!! You might not need to do all these steps but that is what I ended up doing and it worked for the two machines where I installed Vivado. The installation took less than one hour.
