Run Qt Maintenance Tool - updated to 6.2... what is next ?

Anonymous_Banned275

My "options" kits do not include 6.2 ...
Setting Ubuntu Desktop Qt Creator to "New Window" does nothing...
Executing "qtcreator" from terminal starts 5.15.2....

How do I switch to 6.2.0?

If you add Qt 6.2 through the maintenance tool, it will register itself with Qt Creator from the maintenance tool. It will not register with Ubuntu's QtC (as I understand you are using QtC provided by Ubuntu?), you have to add the Kit manually in settings: just go to Options->Kits->Qt Versions->Add... and browse to qmake location of your new Qt 6.2.

@sierdzio Thanks
My original "download" was using Ubuntu. I just went , by accident, thru overnight "update" using Maintenance tool. Then I did same ,again using Maintenance tool, but selected 6.2
I really do not get the Qt numbering scheme - after Qt Creator is run there is no 6.2 Apparently it matters in "kits" selection which is "set" on "auto-detect anyway.
I am sure there is a comprehensive document describing all those versions numbers. I have not found one.

At this time I have ONE of mine OS set to "update" again. It works as expected.
My main OS still has few issues , partly due to "new and very slow" OS.

@sierdzio This is what options tells me.
I just trashed all folders, but kept the home/qt/Qt/5.15.2 .
Now I have new home/qt/Qt/6.2.0 .

I am missing something basic...

OK, so you should be able to add it manually. In "Qt versions" tab click "Add..." and browse to /home/qt/Qt/6.2.0/gcc_64/bin/qmake. Once that is ready, you can add a new Kit with Qt 6.2.

On, now I see there is a new option here: "Link with Qt..." which links Qt Creator with installation from Maintenance Tool. Should fix your problem... if it works :D

@sierdzio Yes, I found the"link" now I need to know WHERE did the update went
and on top of that I get these - without asking

qt@qt-desktop:~$ qtcreator

Wayland stuff you can ignore, as discussed in a different thread.

For the other one - I don't launch Qt Creator from terminal so I don't know if this is normal. But you can at least check permissions with:

ls -al /home/qt/Qt/5.15.2/gcc_64/bin | grep qmake

I don't expect it to be forbidden from execution, but who knows.
