qtcreator installation issue invalid encoding

Viewed 253

I had previous installation packages for Qt. /home/star/Downloads/sandeep/Untitled Folder/qt-creator-opensource-linux-x86_64-4.2.1(1).run /home/star/Downloads/sandeep/Untitled Folder/qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.8.0.run /home/star/Downloads/sandeep/Untitled Folder/qt-unified-linux-x64-2.0.5-1-online.run

I clicked properties and checked "allow package to run" But when I double click on the run file,�*B@ (invalid encoding) file gets created and it does not execute.

Also, I guess my linux is 32-bit, because output of uname -a gives Linux star-X555LAB 4.4.0-31-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 13 00:06:14 UTC 2016 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

and I gues my installables are 4 bit as the name suggests,that may be the problem.

I searched internet and found that it happens when u migrate from windows to linux. So, I formatted my NTFS pen drive to ext and tried again. the same problem repeats. What should I do now?

I think the current installation packages for qt support only 1 month service. Or is the open-source longer duration free license for qt still valid. if so What is the path to download installables?

Yes you are right. Your OS is 32bit (i686) and your Qt installation is 64bit (x64). You may:

  1. Run the binary from terminal and see the output
  2. Install 64bit OS
  3. Install 32bit Qt toolset
