Plugins won't load
-
I just installed Qt on the latest Linux Mint. I was using the Welcome screen as a guide. Now it won't load. When I start Creator, I get a dialog that says Qml Designer, Qml Profiler and Welcome have errors and cannot be loaded. The specific error message is, "Plugin initialization failed: Cannot create OpenGL context."
I have tried both the Qt version available in the Mint repository and the direct download from Qt. Both do the same thing.
It's been a long time since I used Linux or tried to program in C++/Qt. I'd really like everything to work.
Any help in resolving this is appreciated.

Hi,
Looks like you have an OpenGL issue. What kind of graphics card do you have on your machine ? What drivers are you using ?

I'm using NVidea GForce 1070. I have the proprietary drivers installed. I just did a clean rebuild of the entire system today. I get everything but the examples now. The Tutorials are listed, but the Examples page is blank.

I just solved my own problem. After doing some searching, I discovered a whole slew of packages with the word "examples" in the name that the Mint package manager did not install along with the supposedly "complete" SDK. There were so many that I didn't know which one(s) I might need. So I uninstalled everything from the Mint repository concerning Qt and installed directly from the Qt site. It was a much larger install package. Now the examples are there and I should, hopefully, be able to continue.
