    It doesn't work for me when I run it natively on Fedora 20 (64bit), let alone in a VM.

      You can disable the Welcome plugin and it will work (Help->Plugins...). Or from command line:
      @
      qtcreator -noload Welcome -noload QmlDesigner -noload QmlProfiler
      @

      This should disable all parts of Qt Creator that require OpenGL.

          This is on my notebook. I'm using the radeon kernel driver for my Trinity [Radeon HD 7520G].

          For OpenGL I get the following...

          OpenGL core profile version string: 3.1 (Core Profile) Mesa 9.2.5

            For what it's worth, I loaded Creator onto a virtualbox with WinXP w/Service pack 3 (32 bit), to see if I could re-create the OP's problem, and ended up with an unusable ide.

            I turned off the Welcome plugin and the QML plugins and it seems to work ok now. Turning off 3d acceleration in VirtualBox did NOT make things any better.

              There are many reports of Qt's OpenGL bits not playing well with VirtualBox,

              Digia is tracking graphics issues. Could you please read http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2013-November/014330.html and file a report at https://bugreports.qt-project.org/ ?

                    As a long overdue follow-up I would like to point out I got this working from advice from Christian Stenger when I reported it as a bug. "I wrote up the work-around.":http://bit.ly/qtvirtbox

                    Check out my third course in the trilogy on Qt

                      Thanks for the answer. I just finished reinstalling (via another method) on Kubuntu and now under Kubuntu the welcome mode works. I updated my post.

                      If it were OpenGL support in VirtualBox I wouldn't have expected that. I downloaded VMWare (free 30 day trial) just to see if it's any better. Once I'm through testing I'll see if I can add something helpful to the bug report.

                      VMWARE version 11 (latest) running Win 7 x64 SP1 and Qt 5.4, displays Welcome Mode Load Error.

                        Disabling accleration on VMWARE version 11 does nothing to improve.

                          This thread saved my day : disabling VirtualBox 3D acceleration made Qt 5.7 OpenGL error disappear. Host : iMac OS-X 10.11, Virtualbox 5.1.4. Qt Guest : Ubuntu 14.04.
