Mint Linux open source install

@ofmrew I just looked in Settings. All are marked as Use. I do not see qt6.

@SGaist I got to Setup - Qt. Logged into my account. At Welcome to open source setup I got Failure to fetch repositories. Now what?

There have been some issues lately with the cloud provider hosting the machines for the distribution so you may been hit by a fluk. Try again.

@SGaist It gets to meta data download and it fails: Failure to fetch repositories. I will try it later.

You might be getting a bad mirror. Try manually selecting a different mirror to download from: https://wiki.qt.io/Online_Installer_4.x#Selecting_a_mirror_for_opensource

1. cmod only root! sudo chmod a+x ./qt-unified-linux-x64-4.0.1-online.run
2. For run:
   2.1. cd <to file directory>
   2.2. Add "dot" + "slash": qt-unified-linux-x64-4.0.1-online.run -> ./qt-unified-linux-x64-4.0.1-online.run

Why do you think sudo is needed?

[ofmrew]

@vladimir-litvinenko I got the failure to fetch when I tried the following:
bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux ~ $ cd home
bash: cd: home: No such file or directory
bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux ~ $ cd \home
bash: cd: home: No such file or directory
bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux ~ $ cd /home
bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux /home $ cd ./bobwilliams
bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux ~ $ cd ./download
bash: cd: ./download: No such file or directory
bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux ~ $ ls

bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux ~/Downloads $ chmod +x qt-unified-linux-x64-3.0.0-online.run
bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux ~/Downloads $ ./qt-unified-linux-x64-3.0.0-online.run
QApplication: invalid style override passed, ignoring it.
bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux ~/Downloads $

Do you know what mirror is good?

In case I have not say it before, I really appreciate everyone's help.

@JKSH It looks like all of the mirrors are for windows. I need linux.

The mirrors are for Windows AND Linux AND macOS...

The wiki says, "don't use the full path but use the path before '/online' (no forward slash at the end)"

[ofmrew]

@JKSH No luck finding the linux mirrors.

Navigate up the "Parent Directory" a few times.

There is no such thing as a "Windows mirror" or a "Linux mirror". Each mirror contains files for Windows AND Linux AND macOS.

Did you look closely at the examples shown in the Wiki?

@JKSH I will wait until the issues with the installer are resolved.
