Unsolved Qt Creator opens and closes on Linux 16.04
-
Hi,
Try starting from the command line, you might get more clues about what is happening.
By the way, virtual machine or standard desktop ?
-
@rbmisc Try to start QtCreator with "-noload Welcome" parameter.
If it works disable Welcome plug-in under "Help/About Plugins..." -
It's a virtual machine. But it worked in the past. I did update Linux before trying to open it. Could there be something in the latest updates that is causing this?
-
I ran qt from the command line and it stated that qt creator wasn't installed. So I installed it. I tried running again by clicking the app on the side bar and it still just comes up then shuts down.
So I tried running via command line. Qt Creator came up. Here is what was displayed on the command line when I entered qtcreator.
$ qtcreator
void DBusMenuExporterPrivate::addAction(QAction*, int): Already tracking action "Follow Symbol Under Cursor" under id 173
Cannot start '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qmake': No such file or directory

I just checked and the Qt Creator version running from the command line is 5.5.1 not 5.7
-
@rbmisc Did you try to disable the Welcome plug-in as I suggested before?
-
@rbmisc 5.5.1 and 5.7 are not QtCreator versions, those are Qt versions.
-
I didn't see your message until now. I disabled the Welcome plug in and it now works. Thanks. What seems to be the issue with the Welcome plugin?
-
@rbmisc As far as I know it is related to OpenGL issues with some graphics drivers. But I don't know exactly what the problem is.

As said by @jsulm
Qt creator version is different from Qt version.
Qt creator version u can get in Qt creator help menu.
Thanks:)

Thanks @jsulm

@Pradeep-Kumar Yes. It depends on the plug-in.

The Welcome plugin uses QtQuick so you need to have OpenGL working properly.
