I am having a slightly bizarre problem and am not sure what is happening so maybe someone else has seen it and could throw some light on the issue.
I have Qt 4.6.1 installed in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS x64 that is running as a virtual guest (VirtualBox) in Windows 7 x32.
Anyway... I have created a new widget and it won't let me edit it or drag widgets onto it. It is almost like it is read-only. The icon when I drag is a circle with a line through it. I have seen mention of a drag-drop problem with Windows 7 but I have tried that fix and it doesn't change anything.
Everything builds and runs, just cannot use the designer at all.
Hopefully this will help someone else who may have the problem as I have found a solution, although not an ideal one.
Basically it seems there might be an issue with the new Unity shell and Qt. I needed to change the shell to gnome and it works now.
In terminal:
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
Then logged out and switched to Gnome shell and now dragging-and-dropping works. I don't know if the issue is within Virtualbox, Ubuntu 12.04 or Qt

I have just installed MAMP in Windows 10 alongside my class so that we can begin to work with Wordpress. However, the installed icon, and the app itself within my 'start' search function is unresponsive. I always get this popup: "To run this application, you must install .NET Core." The Popup has MAMP.exe in the corner. I did the recommended download at x64, and got confirmation that it was installed, but I got no result. Any time I try to click on the MAMP icon on my desktop, I get that message. I made sure my Skype was off, I checked if I had multiple Apache installations (I saw none except a years-old one in an archived folder) and I restarted my computer but to no avail. I wonder if there is an issue with the path or the browser -- .NET Core was done with Edge, MAMP was done with Chrome. This is mysterious. If anyone has advice on what to try, much appreciated.
I found the answer! Download x86 version of .NET Core and then install it afterward no matter how old your computer is. I did that and it works perfectly now.
Here’s what happens
I open the installer, choose the packages I want(I choose to install some 1.7 GB of components), everything goes well.
But then when I click on the Install button, and Qt installer crashes! And by crashes I mean it crashes, Windows DOES NOT tell me it is not responding. The window just gets invisible from the taskbar.
There also is no possibility that it is installing in the background, as I waited for approx. 5 mins, and when I checked in the folder where I was going to install it, I didn’t find a SINGLE component installed!
How to solve that?
I asked some questions earlier because a person needs more information. It also depends on what compiler you have. There are many many known issues with Qt 6.x.
The default kit doesn't work with MSVC2019

Qt 6.0 has install issues with GLib 6

There also appears to be significant problems with OpenGL.

People seem to still be able to get off-line installers, and, as this French typing person found out, you have to be careful because it appears there are some 32-bit Windows kits.
https://forum.qt.io/topic/123027/installation-qt6-on-windows/7
If you try running them on a 64-bit Windows 10, they crash.
If this doesn't answer your question, you need to supply
Which Windows Version
32 or 64-bit
off-line or on-line installer?
I installed TortoiseSVN on my work laptop (win 7 Ent.) and tried to integrate Tortoise with R-Studio. But because of some known issues (see here), I did not take it further and disabled subversioning on R-Studio. Since then, when I start R-Studio client, the Tortoise Project Monitor opens up automatically and takes R-Studio into initialization stage until it crashes and I have to kill R-Studio client.
After playing around for few hours, I learnt that I have to open two instances of R-Studio to be able to run it. So, now, I open R-Studio and let it go into initialization stage and then in the meantime, I open another R-Studio and the 2nd one works fine; then I kill first one. But, it is kind of annoying as the trick does not work sometimes.
I uninstalled R-Studio and reinstalled it again and no change. I am afraid if I uninstall TortoiseSVN and then cannot install it again- as it is an open source and there is no support team to help in case of any trouble.
Wondering if anyone has any idea on how to disable project monitoring at all. I don't really need it at all.
Project Monitor can be disabled in Project Monitor Options.
Since a week ago, everytime I try to edit a form .ui in my Qt Creator project, the program crashes and closes. This segmentation fault error details are displayed in the image below:
What I already tried
Even if I try to start over a new project, the problem remains.
I tried also to operate Qt Creator with full admin permissions, and
still it fails.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Qt. The same thing happens.
Conditions
I run Qt Creator in a Xubuntu OS (version 14.04).
The Qt version is in the image above.
Has this happened already to you? Any idea what this could be? Any troubleshooting suggestions?
Thank you!
Well, I managed to find a solution that worked.
I opened a terminal and wrote sudo apt-get purge qtcreator* (instead of remove). This way I managed to remove all dependencies.
Then I installed Qt directly from the site: http://www.qt.io/download/
This way worked fine.
I have a very weird problem. Ive got a an Ubuntu 14.04 running on VirtualBox 4.3.20 r96997. I installed QT Creator a while back and was working with it fine until today. Now when I try to start it, the screen is completely unresponsive, and it endes up freezing (just the QT Creator screen, ubuntu keeps working fine)
I have read in a couple of places that this could be because the welcome mode doesnt play nice with virtualbox 3d hardware acceleration:
Why does Qt Creator 3.0.0 Welcome Mode not work in VM?
http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/37412
But im starting ubuntu with the 3d hardware acceleration disabled, and Ive also tried starting it direcly from the terminal by going to the install folder and doing:
./qtcreator -noload Welcome -noload QmlDesigner -noload QmlProfiler
But it also freezes. And the weird thing is that it worked yesterday, and I havent installed any updates or changed the system, it just appears to have stopped working.
Any suggestions?
In the ~/.config/QtProject folder is a lock file (QtCreator.ini.lock). This is the reason why QtCreator freezes. By removing only this file QtCreator will not freeze any more and all the configurations / settings are still there.
Posting my comment as an answer, since OP confirmed it works.
Delete the configuration directory for QtCreator - it's somewhere in ~/.config/
