Qt silent installation on Linux server

Kallappa

Hi,

I have Linux server(Ubuntu 20.04) and i am triying to install Qt using command line but i didn't get succeed yet
I have tried using below reference
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25105269/silent-install-qt-run-installer-on-ubuntu-server
and the command i am using here is

./qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.14.2.run --script qt-installer-noninteractive.qs --platform minimal --verbose

but the installation stucks in between, the log is as follows

@Kallappa said in Qt silent installation on Linux server:

/home/dev/.local/share/Qt/qtaccount.ini

Did you make this file with login info ?

Since it says
Warning: Qt Account settings file [/home/dev/.local/share/Qt/qtaccount.ini] does not exist.

It might be the issue.

Kallappa

@mrjj, Thanks for your reply

it is necessory for open source installation?

mrjj

@Kallappa
Yes, login is mandatory now. Even for open source.

Kallappa

@mrjj ,

after adding this qtaccount.ini file ~/.local/share/Qt
account login is done but may be problem with .qs script it stops after login

Hi
Not sure exactly what is wrong but it seems it tried to call
ObligationsPageCallback
and its not found so scripts exists.

Kallappa

@mrjj , You can find the script here

    installer.autoRejectMessageBoxes();
    installer.setMessageBoxAutomaticAnswer("installationError", QMessageBox.Retry);
    installer.setMessageBoxAutomaticAnswer("installationErrorWithRetry", QMessageBox.Retry);

        gui.clickButton(buttons.NextButton);
    })

      }
      console.log(packages.join(" "));
    }

    list_packages();

    var widget = gui.currentPageWidget();

    console.log(widget);

    widget.deselectAll();
    widget.selectComponent("qt.qt5.5130");
    widget.selectComponent("qt.qt5.5130.gcc_64");

    gui.clickButton(buttons.NextButton);

    gui.clickButton(buttons.FinishButton);
}

@Kallappa
Hi
It seems it's missing a section for the new screen with openSource info

I can't recall if it has a next button or an ok button
you could try to add

Controller.prototype.ObligationsPageCallback= function()
{
gui.clickButton(buttons.NextButton);
}

and see.

Kallappa

@mrjj,

i have added ObligationsPageCallback function as below

Controller.prototype.ObligationsPageCallback = function() {
    var page = gui.pageWidgetByObjectName("ObligationsPage");
    page.obligationsAgreement.setChecked(true);
    page.completeChanged();
    gui.clickButton(buttons.NextButton);
}

and it completes the installation
but but i don't have qmake to compile qt applications

if am wrong sorry for above information, i am new to this

mrjj

@Kallappa
Hi
Well it worked so it seems fine. Good work.

What you mean make is missing?
But it did install a Qt version for you to use ?

Kallappa

@mrjj
hi,
I mean i need qt environement to build qt application on Linux server
so i need qmake and make to compile qt source code.

but i didn't found this on ~/Qt directory
i have only below folders/files

InstallationLog.txt  
MaintenanceTool.dat 
 components.xml 
 installerResources
Licenses             
MaintenanceTool.ini  
dist            
network.xml
MaintenanceTool      
Tools              
installer.dat

mrjj

@Kallappa
It seems that
widget.selectComponent("qt.qt5.5130");
widget.selectComponent("qt.qt5.5130.gcc_64");

didnt really select anything?

if you look at the link a user posted

Controller.prototype.ComponentSelectionPageCallback = function() {
    var page = gui.pageWidgetByObjectName("ComponentSelectionPage");

    var archiveCheckBox = gui.findChild(page, "Archive");
    var latestCheckBox = gui.findChild(page, "Latest releases");
    var fetchButton = gui.findChild(page, "FetchCategoryButton");

    archiveCheckBox.click();
    latestCheckBox.click();
    fetchButton.click();

    // ...
}

Do you have that in script ?
As now the versions are grouped so i think the script is not totally updated with the new installers.

Kallappa

@mrjj ,

No the part above mentioned is not there in script for this it is as below

Controller.prototype.ComponentSelectionPageCallback = function() {
    function list_packages() {
      var components = installer.components();
      console.log("Available components: " + components.length);
      var packages = ["Packages: "];
      for (var i = 0 ; i < components.length ;i++) {
          packages.push(components[i].name);
      }
      console.log(packages.join(" "));
    }

    list_packages();

    var widget = gui.currentPageWidget();

    console.log(widget);

    widget.deselectAll();
    widget.selectComponent("qt.qt5.5130");
    widget.selectComponent("qt.qt5.5130.gcc_64");
    // widget.deselectComponent("");

    gui.clickButton(buttons.NextButton);
}

Kallappa

@mrjj,
Hi,

if i add the part

var page = gui.pageWidgetByObjectName("ComponentSelectionPage");

    var archiveCheckBox = gui.findChild(page, "Archive");
    var latestCheckBox = gui.findChild(page, "Latest releases");
    var fetchButton = gui.findChild(page, "FetchCategoryButton");

    archiveCheckBox.click();
    latestCheckBox.click();
    fetchButton.click();

    // ...

it give error for click() as function doesn't exist

mrjj

@Kallappa
Hmm thats odd. it should work.

Do you need a special Qt or jus the newest ?

maybe you can just change the script to do that and ignore the Archive thing.

Kallappa

@mrjj
Hi,
yes, i just need Qt5.14.0 or Qt5.14.2 installation on server,
thats it.

if any other ways kindly suggest here or the Qt's reference doc if any for command line installation in ubuntu

mrjj

@Kallappa
sadly there is no commandline install version.

We need to change these lines
widget.selectComponent("qt.qt5.5130");
widget.selectComponent("qt.qt5.5130.gcc_64");
but I not sure what names should be for
Qt5.14.0
or if they will be in Archive.

Do you use the newest online installer from Qt site ?

It seems to have Qt5.14.0 in front
alt text

mrjj

hi
You can try
widget.selectComponent("qt.qt5.14.2");
widget.selectComponent("qt.qt5.14.2.gcc_64");
and see if that works.

I hope "Latest releases" is checked by default when running with this script else it wont work as nothing in list then.

Kallappa

@mrjj,

yes sure, Thanks, for your time
just now i tried with widget.selectAll(); instead of selecting each one
it works for me on Local system and now i will try on server.

thanks again

mrjj

@Kallappa
Ok, i cross fingers.
You might get a shitload of other stuff but hopefully, that won't matter :)
