Indeed, sudo apt-get install ipython-qtconsole solved the problem. I know I should have read the install documentation, it's clearly mentioned. We're getting a bit spoiled with apt-get and pip package managers.... Would have saved me a couple hours... Maybe we can turn this into a suggestion: could qt-console be a dependency for Spyder on Ubuntu so apt-get will install it automatically? Or maybe qtconsole could be mentioned in the dependency checklist in Help/Optional Dependencies ?
Glad it works now anyway. Thanks all for your help and for giving us Spyder.
