After installing Qt-Creator from the Mageia Welcome screen, I chose Contents from the Help menu, and received a 404 not found message and the following message: "qthelp://org.qt-project.qtcreator.300/doc/index.html"  As a URL this string makes less sense than it should, and Firefox complained.  In addition, if it is true that at least some Qt-Creator help files are not installed via an installation from the Welcome screen, that should be remedied to avoid a help system complaint.

Also reported via forums: https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=8755.

Seems to be this issue: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1077410 fixed by this commit: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/qt-creator.git/commit/?id=aede2af7f8b339e78131cc8196546ebe8fc08149 - the documentation is simply not built. Still present in current cauldron.

I'm always baffled how those basic issues slip into packages ... :/

Fixed for mga4 via http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages?view=revision&revision=799882 and submitted qt-creator-3.0.0-1.2.mga4 to core/updates_testing. This adds a -doc subpackage and Suggests it.

Please test once those packages arrive at your mirror.

There is now qt-creator-3.0.0-1.2.mga4 in core/updates_testing to validate.

Suggested advisory:

This update addresses the following issue:

Clicking on "Help" in left sidepanel in Qt Creator would only show an error message as


"The page could not be found!
Error loading: qthelp://org.qt-project.qtcreator.300/doc/index.html
Check that you have one or more documentation sets installed."


The update adds the documentation via a suggested qt-creator-doc subpackage, and when this is installed, Help/documentation will be available.

Assignee: doktor5000 => qa-bugs

Testing on Mageia4x64 real hardware :

Current package :
---------------
# rpm -q qt-creator
qt-creator-3.0.0-1.1.mga4

Could reproduce the bug from Comment 1 :
In QtCreator, menu Help/Index shows an error page :
Error loading: qthelp://org.qt-project.qtcreator.300/doc/index.html

After enabling testing :
----------------------

# urpmi qt-creator
which installs :
qt-creator 3.0.0-1.2.mga4x86_64  
qt-creator-doc 3.0.0-1.2.mga4 noarch  (conseillé)

In QtCreator, menu Help/Index opens QtCreator Manuel

So the bug is fixed.

There is still an issue in both versions : the Welcome page is blank which apparently is not normal behavior and is not so welcoming.

Not here, with both packages. See the screenshot. According to upstream this only happens with QT4 builds, as QT4 does not have Qt Quick 2.
Can you try if anything changes when you run it via

qtcreator -load Welcome

Also please post the output of

rpm -qa | grep -e declarative -e quick | grep qt | sort


Another reason could be missing OpenGL support, as that's required by the Welcome screen and also by the QML designer.

Hi Florian

Seems we're missing a Require on qtdeclarative5.

Can you please install qtdeclarative5 (which should also pull in lib64qt5test5 lib64qt5quicktest5 lib64qt5quickparticles5) and then test again please?

(In reply to Florian Hubold from comment #8)


Installed qtdeclarative5-5.2.0-2.mga4.x86_64

which brought along :

- lib64qt5quickparticles5-5.2.0-2.mga4.x86_64
- lib64qt5quicktest5-5.2.0-2.mga4.x86_64
- lib64qt5test5-5.2.0-2.3.mga4.x86_64

QtCreator now shows Welcome page as in attachment 5673 [details]

Thanks Florian.

Submitted fixed update candidate qt-creator-3.0.0-1.3.mga4 adding that require.
Could we get this validated by somebody else on i586 in the meantime as both issues are now reportedly fixed?

I think that the reason that the updated qt-creator appeared to work 
for Olivier is that he had manually installed qtquickcontrols5

Sorry, didn't notice that, thanks for the hint. Now I've also added qtquickcontrols5 as Requires and submitted as qt-creator-3.0.0-1.4.mga4.


Updated advisory:

This update addresses the following issues:

1. Clicking on "Help" in left sidepanel in Qt Creator would only show an error message as

"The page could not be found!

Check that you have one or more documentation sets installed."

The update adds the documentation via a suggested qt-creator-doc subpackage, and when this is installed, Help/documentation will be available.


2. The "Welcome" page would not display, and several error messages would be shown in terminal, like 

file:///usr/share/qtcreator/welcomescreen/welcomescreen.qml:30:1: module "QtQuick" is not installed 
     import QtQuick 2.1 
     ^ 

because of missing package qtdeclarative5 or


file:///usr/share/qtcreator/welcomescreen/welcomescreen.qml:32:1: module "QtQuick.Controls" is not installed 
     import QtQuick.Controls 1.0 
     ^ 

because of missing package qtquickcont5rols5.

Those packages contain the required Qt Quick modules, and are necessary to display the welcome page which is written in QML.

I confirm I had manually installed qtquickcontrols5 beforehand in order to follow a tutorial on QtCreator I found in documentation. That was before I realised that it was not expected that welcome page was blank.
