Missing examples, empty tutorials

[BenEngbers]

I have installed the following packages in Fedora 39:

• qt6-qtbase
• qt6-qtbase-devel
• qt6-qtbase-examples
• qt6-devel
• qt6-qtwayland*

I can start Qt Creator 12.0.0 which is based on Qt 6.6.0 and I managed to create and run a few test-projects so I know that the installation works.
However the example pane is empty. And in the Tutorials-pane all the Help-items are empty.

I saw that the examples are installed in /usr/lib64/qt6. I created a symbolic link qt6.6.0 to this directory but in Qt Creator the examples pane is still empty.

How can I solve this problem?

Either write to Fedora (they should have some mailing list or public bug tracker), since distro-packaged Qt is not under jurisdiction of Qt project or Qt Company.

Alternatively (easiest solution) - don't use distro packages, but install Qt from the official installer from qt.io. Then everything comes packaged and tested together, with all the tests and examples included.

I tried to install the Open Source license version but every time, I am directed to commercial licenses.
How can I install the open source version with qt-unified-linux-x64-4.6.1-online.run?

You just need to enter credentials for your Qt Account (the same you use to access this forum) and it will go through.

Or maybe you've had a commercial license in the past? I've heard it can cause some hiccups.

In trying to clean up the qt environment yesterday, I apparently did something wrong because suddenly many more programs were deleted than intended.... After reinstalling the deleted packages, everything is working again but apparently not everything has been restored after all.

I performed the previous installation as user and not as root. Still, when opening CPP files that were created in Qt Creator/new projects Qt Creator keeps asking for authentication. Is this useful information for tracing the cause of the problems?

From an earlier installation attempt I can remember that the Qt environment could be removed by restarting qt-unified-linux-x64-4.6.1-online.run. An option to undo the installation then appeared in the lower left corner.
Currently, I no longer see that option. And when I try to continue the installation again I get error messages that the directories already exist.

How can I clean up the environment without using qt-unified-linux-x64-4.6.1-online.run?

EDIT
After deleting ~/Qt I could execute qt-unified-linux-x64-4.6.1-online.run.
In the console however I saw these messageses:
repeated 10 times {

After finishing the installation Qt Creator launches with a popup message, telling that I have 7 days left to evaluate Qt Enterprise. (And the Examples pane is still empty)
