Qt install fails on new Xubuntu 20.04 installation

DougK

Hash verification while downloading failed on 2.0.4QtIcon.7z. It says this is temporary, but how long is that? Failed yesterday, still fails today. Fails for Qt 5.15.0 and 5.14.2 when using the Qt installer. IO haven't tried any other Qt versions.

@DougK Works for me.
Probably bad mirror.
You can try this tool to select another mirror: https://github.com/JKSH/QtSdkRepoChooser

Dears,
Problem continues, the sha1 checksum doesn't match:
Checksum in file 2.0.4QtIcon.7z.sha1 is:
eaa7231def35a0342f987d2b5b660c31f2498d3d
Whereas actually calculated sha1 checksum for file 2.0.4QtIcon.7z is:
d389d3149ba5e932309d984b02af5976226dd710
So, please update 2.0.4QtIcon.7z.sha1 in the repositories accordingly.

If you think it is not fixed then please comment on the actual ticket in Qt bug tracker.
This is user forum.

Facing same problem

EDIT: I ended using the following configuration for nginx and redirecting the traffic to it by adding Qt's domain to my hosts file and it worked!

master_process off;
daemon off;
worker_processes  1;

events {
    worker_connections 1024;
}

http {
	server {
		listen 80 default_server;

		server_name download.qt.io;
		rewrite ^/(.*)$ http://qt.mirror.constant.com/$1 permanent;
	}
}

Facing the same issue.
I could download it on Windows but not on Linux.
How do I set to use another mirror? Everybody says to do this, but doesn't explain how...

PS: I actually could download it by using this:
https://github.com/engnr/qt-downloader

But now it can't understand that I want to use OpenSource license and can't build anything. Keeps saying: License check failed! Giving up...

Like, common, download the programming tool is harder than developing something!

UPDATE: I could get rid of the error, by executing the installer with the paramenter:
--no-force-installations as explained on a reply here.

@RamonGiovane the mirrors can be found here:
https://download.qt.io/static/mirrorlist/
However, even though the installer has a table of other/temp repositories, it still chooses its own mirror. That's why I used nginx and forwarded all the traffic to a mirror that I chose.

@Ahmed-Yarub-Hani-Al-Nuaimi this worked for me.

Hi,

we've noticed the issue with the above mentioned "icon" file as well. The mirror host has been notified to fix the issue with content sync.
If the issue still persists please file a bug report so we can track this better.
