Cannot install Qt on Linux using online installer

[hskoglund]

Hi, I just did the same, installed Qt on a fresh install of Ubuntu 19.10, no problem. Did you try to install Qt 15.5.0 or did you try an older version of Qt?

Fails at 6% of download on 2.0.4QtIcon.7z with a hashsum error. Tried to install on a fresh install of Ubuntu.

I get the same error.

@hskoglund For me also failing with same error
System config is Ubuntu 20.04, with LGPL license and Qt 5.15 & Dev tools all.

@YVVReddy @DougK @poncho524 Most probably bad mirror (works for me on Ubuntu 20.04 with Qt 5.15).
You can try this tool to select another mirror: https://github.com/JKSH/QtSdkRepoChooser

@hskoglund I tried 5.15.0 and one version older than that. Both had the same issue.

I have installed 5.15.0 through online installer just now. It is working now.

Same error here too...
Trying to install Qt 5.15.0 (Desktop only) and Qt Creator on openSuse Leap 15.1.

@rkhaotix I had the same issue last weekend, and reported issue QTBUG-84589
It was previously reported as QTBUG-84475 which is closed, but obviusly the issue persists.

My workaround was to run installer with option --no-force-installations so Qt Creator is not selected by default, and then selecting the Qt Creator Plugin Development option, which seems to have Qt Creator as dependency so it's got finally installed without the hash issue.
I didn't get an entry in menu like previous releases (i.e. Programming -> Qt Creator) but I run it from /opt/Qt/Tools/QtCreator/bin/qtcreator.sh

We have identified the source of the issue and working for the fix. Fix should be in production really soon.

[Jani Heikkinen]

Fix should be in the production now so please try again if you see this issue earlier

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.

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

As of minutes ago, I had the same problem with the same archive as shown in the picture below:

I've been trying to install it for 3 days now, and the problem persists. For me, it doesn't seem like a problem that users can find a fix for by doing some workaround and seems like a really simple problem to be solved by people from the team - please, update the sha1 of the archive or update the archive for the one compatible with the sha1 being checked. If the problem has been fixed and is back, there might be someone intentionally sabotaging the resource.
Also, is this problem only happening on the Linux version of the installer? I don't think so, seems like a resource problem that might be central for anyone installing the software following the same hash verification procedure.

as mentioned before, this is an users forum. You need to let the Qt company know about the issue, and the way to do that is by creating a bug report. See previous issues in this post for reference

@Pablo-J-Rogina God bless you! I could get rid of the error as well using your workaround. Thanks!

Even though the issue appears to be fixed in the repo, the online installer appears to still use the older (unfixed) location.

https://download.qt.io/online/qtsdkrepository/linux_x64/desktop/tools_maintenance_early_access/qt.tools.maintenance.icons/
2.0.4QtIcon.7z hash mismatch with 2.0.4QtIcon.7z.sha1
This folder was last updated on 30-Sep-2020

This newer folder contains an ..QtIcon file with hash matching the companion .sha1:
https://download.qt.io/online/qtsdkrepository/linux_x64/desktop/tools_maintenance/qt.tools.maintenance/
Updated on 03-Nov-2020.

But the latest installer (qt-unified-linux-x64-4.0.0-online.run -- sha1: a8c689...) still fails in the 2.0.4QtIcon.7z hash check and the error message shows that it still uses the unfixed repo path:

Is there any updated install tool?

I saw the above workaround but still would like to deploy a clean/default correct install. I also got an 'outdated maintenance tool' warning during the install.

Since the hash issue appears to be fixed in the repo, how to simple use an up to date install tool?

Thank you

@Pablo-J-Rogina I had to use the workaround mentioned by @Pablo-J-Rogina in order to install Qt. This bug is critical it must be fixed soon.
