Are you running this in a virtual machine? VirtualBox is known to have OpenGL issues which affects Qt Creator's Welcome screen. This seems to have been fixed in VirtualBox 4.3.12: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-34964 Disable the Welcome screen and see if it helps. In Qt Creator, go to "Help" -> "About Plugins..." and uncheck "Qt Creator" -> "Welcome" and restart. > The second thing is that terminating via the X in the window bar freezes my > entire system and i have to do a hard reset.

You need to install the g++ compiler (which isn't included in GCC by default) and OpenGL development libraries (libgl1-mesa-dev). > A truly frustrating experience. > > > Do you need more testers for the linux/ubuntu department?
