Qt Designer 6 on Ubuntu 22.04 (jammy)
-
Under Linux Mint 21, based on Ubuntu 22.04 (jammy), I wish to use Qt Designer 6. Is a package available? I have installed several from the Ubuntu repositories that would appear to supply the tool, but the entry for the application revealed in the desktop menu is versioned for Qt 5.

qt6-tools-dev perhaps?
It is one I already have tried.

env QT_SELECT=qt6 designer
it is qt-chooser bug, Go to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qtchooser and create qt6.conf with contents:
/usr/lib/qt6/bin
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
save it. With QT_SELECT=qt6 it will work. -

It is also an issue that the desktop icon is available for Designer only for Qt 5, not Qt 6.
