[Touch-packages] [Bug 1251178] Re: qdbus and qdbusviewer crash with "No such file or directory"

[Jacek Sandomierz]

And here we go again... - also with qdbusviewer, and also on 18.04

Previous workaround stopped working.

After some digging it looks that qtchooser is looking into wrong Qt dir
(qt4 instead of qt5)

Some other people reported that

apt install qt5-default

may help - but I did not check this

What worked was editing

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt-default/qtchooser/default.conf

and adding first line so it looks like this:

 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt-default/qtchooser/default.conf 
/usr/lib/qt5/bin
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

  Package versions:

  Expected behavior:

  qdbus: could not exec '/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/qdbus': No such file

  Note that `/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qdbus` exists and seems to
  work if I invoke it directly.

  There's a `qdbus-qt5` package in the universe repository. It was not
  pulled in as a dependency, but manually installing it fixes the issue.
  Therefore it's either a packaging error or a bug in qtchooser.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1251178] Re: qdbus and qdbusviewer crash with "No such file or directory"

[pqwoerituytrueiwoq]

Problem still exist in kubuntu 22.04 as of 21/11/25

qttools5-dev-tools is the package that provides the applications

apt tells the user this

user@kde-test-system:~$ qdbusviewe
Command 'qdbusviewe' not found, did you mean:
  command 'qdbusviewer' from deb qtchooser (66-2build1)
Try: sudo apt install 

qtchooser is installed ad you get the error

user@kde-test-system:~$ qdbusviewer
qdbusviewer: could not exec '/usr/lib/qt5/bin/qdbusviewer': No such file or 
directory

this should at lease give a error saying that you need the qttools5-dev-
tools package

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1251178] Re: qdbus and qdbusviewer crash with "No such file or directory"

[Georges]

It's 2021, and this issue still exists.
In my case with qdbus command, installing and re-installing qt5-default does 
not help.
The solution of @yatsek worked:


qdbus: could not find a Qt installation of ''

$ sudo apt-get install apt-file

$ sudo apt-file update

$ apt-file search /usr/lib/qt5/bin/qdbus
qdbus-qt5: /usr/lib/qt5/bin/qdbus 
qtbase5-dev-tools: /usr/lib/qt5/bin/qdbuscpp2xml
qtbase5-dev-tools: /usr/lib/qt5/bin/qdbusxml2cpp
qttools5-dev-tools: /usr/lib/qt5/bin/qdbusviewer

$ sudo apt-get install qdbus-qt5

Voila!

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1251178] Re: qdbus and qdbusviewer crash with "No such file or directory"

[Jacek Sandomierz]

Because this is top post being shown in Google search for problems with
qdbusviewer and they persist also on 18.04 here is the solution:

1. Find an error message. In my case (even after installing default):

qdbusviewer: could not exec '/usr/lib/qt5/bin/qdbusviewer': No such
file or directory

2. Find in which package is file being reported as missing:

$ apt-file search /usr/lib/qt5/bin/qdbusviewer
qttools5-dev-tools: /usr/lib/qt5/bin/qdbusviewer

3. Install found package:

   $ sudo apt install qttools5-dev-tools

Voila!

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1251178] Re: qdbus and qdbusviewer crash with "No such file or directory"

[Dmitry Shachnev]

> Maybe this package could be added as a dependency in newer releases?

We would like to make Qt 5 default, but unfortunately this will break
lots of legacy Qt 4 code. So we cannot do that soon, maybe in future...

> There is also perhaps an upstream bug where qtchooser could try the
"other" qt version if one fails. (I had installed qdbus5, and qtchooser
was trying qdbus4, which was not installed or wanted.)

The fallback mechanism exists (in qtchooser 52-gae5eeef and newer
versions), but only for some tools:
.
qdbus is one of them, so if you have qdbus-qt5 installed, qtchooser will
use it even if you have no qt5-default package installed. If that is not
the case, please let us know your qtchooser version and the console
output.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1251178] Re: qdbus and qdbusviewer crash with "No such file or directory"

[Bruce Duncan]

The solution is indeed to install the qt5-default package.

Maybe this package could be added as a dependency in newer releases?

There is also perhaps an upstream bug where qtchooser could try the
"other" qt version if one fails. (I had installed qdbus5, and qtchooser
was trying qdbus4, which was not installed or wanted.)
