There is a thread in the Eric issue tracker on solving this:
https://www.mail-archive.com/eric@riverbankcomputing.com/msg04281.html
Basically, the instruction is to install either of the rope or jedi
plugins - in the plugins list, rope is called "Refactoring, Rope" and
jedi is called "Completions, Jedi". You may need to to do Plugins,
Plugins Repository, Update first. (In 19.x it's the Plugins menu item;
in 20.x it's Extras, Plugins...)
Once you've installed the plugin, you need to select it as the Code Info
Provider at the top of the Code Documentation Viewer on the far right.
This worked for me on Eric 19.01 and 20.3 in Debian - hope it helps,

I am new to the Eric ide and installed eric6 on Linux Mint 19.3 and
qt5 appears to integrate. There are, however, a few issus that are I
can't overcome.
I get below message on the right pane just under the disabled 'Code
Info Provider':
"No source code documentation provider has been registered. This
function has been disabled."
There is also a warning in the lower middle pane:
"Warning: translation file 'git_en_GB' could not be loaded. Using
default."
I managed to install the python docs to /usr/share/docs/.... and set
the relevant path in the Eric preference but can't find any
downloadable qt5 or pyqt5 html documentation.
Kind regards
