Qt Creator not listed in applications under Ubuntu16.04
-
I tried to install Qt Creator via the terminal, Software Centre and the installation
.run
-file provided by Qt.
Although Qt Linguist, Qt Designer and Qt Assistant appears on every three ways of installing Qt Creator is only accessible via typingqtcreator
in the terminal except for solution (3).
Is this a bug in the current version? How to fix that? -
I just tried via the terminal using:
sudo apt-get install qtcreator
on Ubuntu 16.04, and "Qt Creator" appeared under the "Programming" list in the Menu popup (using Cinnamon 3.0.4).
The last line of the
apt-get
output said:Processing triggers for menu (2.1.47ubuntu1) ...
I suspect that's when its adding the menu item(s). Did you see that output when you installed via the CLI?
What desktop environment are you using? Unity or something else? (Shouldn't really matter, but worth checking)
-
It is just the Ubuntu standard installation using Unity.
I just reinstalled it. Here is the output:

The only thing appeared was;:

I guess the problem is that there is no entry for Unity..

Any ideas what went wrong here?

Can you find QtCreator if you press Win key and type QtCreator?
-
No, that’s why I posted here in the forum. ;)
