I'm back with a GPU.. Qt Creator still not working
-
I bought myself a gaming PC with a Ryzen 5 AMD video card. I installed Manjaro and Qt6. The vulkan driver is running. But Qt Creator is still not working for me. When I started it this time the properties window undocked and I can no longer dock it. When I use anything else it seems to work but when I try to use the properties window I get the crash again.
Here is my
original comment on the topic where I was told Qt Designer needs a video card. Also I have tried both Wayland and X11. Also when I created a Qt project and ran cmake it did the same thing again where it put an import <project name> in my QML file which QML does not like. It complains about C++ plugins.Please... I'm getting very frustrated and I would like to figure out if this isn't a video card issue after all while I can still return the system. I just want to try Qt Designer and it's very difficult to be spending so much time on this.
Here are my GPU specs:

@Tink But there are no kits either. When I try to create a project there are no suitable kits to select. There is a desktop default but I cannot select it. I have searched the internet far and wide and I have never found clear instructions on how to make a kit.
Also I was told that the online installer was the right way to install it.
PS. I installed qt6-examples and still none.

@Ronel_qtmaster So you're saying the dependencies of Qt Creator are not enough? I must also use the other installer to install Qt6 itself?
I usually put that under my home dir. How will Qt Creator detect it?
-
@Mlibu For normal usage i don't see why you should not just use the package manager. It's there for a reason. With all respect, i do suspect you didnt install correctly. I never had such problems. All i can suggest is removing what you have now and using pacman or pamac to install packages like qt6-base, qtcreator, examples etc.

Well let me add this from the arch wiki as my final comment :)

Use the package manager to install software
Pacman does a much better job than you at keeping track of files. If you install things manually you will, sooner or later, forget what you did, forget where you installed to, install conflicting software, install to the wrong locations, etc.

@Tink This was a fresh install of manjaro. All I did was download the online installer and install minimum packages. I install them into /home/user/Qt.
I check next to the following:
Qt Design Studio 4.4.0
Qt 6.6.2 with only Desktop gcc checked under it
Qt Creator 12.0.2That's it.
When I run qtcreator it does strange things. There isn't a lot I can remove from Manjaro because it needs qt6-tools, qt6-base, etc etc for the OS. And I just delete /home/user/Qt if I'm going to try a reinstall.

@Ronel_qtmaster I uninstalled and I'm reinstalling everything but qt creator with the installer right now. It will be awhile. After it's done I will try installing qt creator from the package manager again. Note that I am using the Manjaro add/remove programs. I trust that it uses the package manager behind the scenes.
I'm supposed to be executing qt creator and not qt design studio right? Then when I start QT I add the Qt Quick Designer plugin.
Thanks for the help by the way. I'm beginning to lose hope.

@Ronel_qtmaster I have not done that. I will keep that in mind. I would really prefer to use the latest version though that could tell us something.
