I'm back with a GPU.. Qt Creator still not working

JonB · 22 Mar 2024, 14:51

@JoeCFD
I already asked OP about this, requesting he try something we know lots of us use like Ubuntu. If you scroll back to about https://forum.qt.io/topic/155232/i-m-back-with-a-gpu-qt-creator-still-not-working/59 he replied

I have already tried Manjaro/KDE and Ubuntu/Gnome. Both with the package managers and with the unified installer.

If he is having his problem on Ubuntu/GNOME I don't know why his situation is apparently different from others.

@JonB In the end I will use Ubuntu if that is the only thing that works. I'm not a big fan of Gnome and prefer KDE and Arch rolling release that's all. But like person before me said, I tried Ubuntu 23.10 and it did the same thing for me. Some people have suggested that I try Ubuntu 20.02 but I haven't had a chance yet.

Ronel_qtmaster · 22 Mar 2024, 14:55

@Mlibu is your project compiling with qt6?

Mlibu · 22 Mar 2024, 14:57

@Ronel_qtmaster Yes I can compile it with 6.6.0. Also the red square that I can't see on the screen appears in the window when it executes.

Ronel_qtmaster · M Mlibu 22 Mar 2024, 14:55

@Mlibu okay what is missing now?I mean which tool or feature

Ronel_qtmaster · M Mlibu 22 Mar 2024, 14:55

@Mlibu maybe you will have to try with ubuntu instead.
check this https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/supported-platforms.html

Mlibu · 22 Mar 2024, 15:15

Ok so none of the packages on any other OS are even guaranteed to be working? Wow.

I'll try it on Windows 10 again then. I googled many times on "requirements for Qt creator". I guess I should have searched on "requirements for qt6".

I didn't want to do it on my mac because that requires all kinds of xcode library stuff and then it always breaks every time you have to upgrade xcode.

Ronel_qtmaster · 22 Mar 2024, 15:16

@Mlibu yes exactly.okay if you try on windows 10 and face issues let me know.I also did my installation on windows 10

Mlibu · 22 Mar 2024, 15:21

@Ronel_qtmaster Thanks, this is very helpful. Though I am not enthusiastic about any of those OSes. Maybe I will just make a small partition for it. Reboot is quick now with SSDs anyway. I did try on windows 10 but it may have been pre-1809. I didn't think this would depend on a certain version of windows.

Ronel_qtmaster · 22 Mar 2024, 16:45

@Mlibu yes you can make a partition just for windows.Anyway just try let's see

JoeCFD · 22 Mar 2024, 16:47

@Mlibu I am using Qt 5.15.3/6.6.2 on Ubuntu 22.04 daily at work. I have Ubuntu 23.04 at home. No issues.

Mlibu · 22 Mar 2024, 17:22

@Ronel_qtmaster So I went to my windows 10 disk and updated it fully. I am now at version 22H2.

I downloaded the unified installer, selected the Windows Development Environment box and installed it. When I create a project I cannot go to the design page until I install the Qt Quick designer plugin. When I do install the plugin and go to the design page I drag a rectangle onto the page and select red background and it crashes seconds later.

Mlibu · J JoeCFD 22 Mar 2024, 16:19

@JoeCFD Let me try ubuntu 22.04 with qt5.

Ronel_qtmaster · 22 Mar 2024, 17:43

@Mlibu okay.Here in my version 6.6 when i go to the design tab, they tell me that no qt Design studio found.So it seems to use qt design studio for designing qml files.
Then i go to help, plugins and enable qmldesigner by clicking on the checkbox and after on ok.Don't click on install anyway

they will ask you to restart qt do it

Mlibu · 22 Mar 2024, 17:58

@JoeCFD as far as I can tell, this is how to install qtcreator with qt5 on ubuntu 22.04:

sudo apt install -y qtcreator qtbase5-dev qt5-qmake cmake

But I get the following errors:

@Ronel_qtmaster That sounds familiar, but I installed Design Studio with my windows install and it still has a problem.

Mlibu · 22 Mar 2024, 18:51

@Ronel_qtmaster But I think you need the plugin for it to interface with design studio. And anyway I was told that it is different than design studio. Regardless, on updated windows 10 I can only get to the page if I install the plugin and it still doesn't work.

JoeCFD · 22 Mar 2024, 17:59

@Mlibu said in I'm back with a GPU.. Qt Creator still not working:

packages

not sure what you did. The errors are not Qt related.

Try the following:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt --fix-broken install

Mlibu · 22 Mar 2024, 18:02

@JoeCFD I installed Ubuntu 22.04 fresh and then upgraded through the software store and immediately did the apt-get command I pasted.

JoeCFD · 22 Mar 2024, 18:06

@Mlibu you need to install all build tools like g++, gcc and ...
