Ubuntu SDK & QT Creator crash on start with error 'Failed to create OpenGL context'
I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 15.04, and followed the instructions for installing the Ubuntu SDK located here: https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/ubuntu-sdk/installing-the-sdk/
On launching the SDK (or QT Creator), I receive the following error:
Welcome Mode Error:
Failed to create OpenGL context for format QSurfaceFormat(version 2.0,options QFlags(), depthBufferSize 24, redBufferSize -1, greenBufferSize -1, blueBufferSize -1, alphaBufferSize -1, stencilBufferSize 8, samples -1, swapBehavior 2, swapInterval 1, profile 0).
In case it was related to me having an NVidia card, I tried switching over to the proprietary NVidia drivers, but am still receiving the error.
I found a post where somebody suggested that a fix for this in QT Creator is to go into the 'help > about plugins' menu in the application and disable the welcome screen, however both QT creator and the Ubuntu SDK hang before I can get to the option through the GUI.
Since I can't get that fix to work, and the official documentation just assumes everything works, I'm somewhat at a loss. If anybody could suggest anything to check, or any packages I need to install that weren't in the documentation, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I have the same problem, but I am using Qt Creator with ssh X11 forwarding . I hope that my solution will help those that try to run the program locally and those try remotely.
The solution:
launch Creator (in my case on Linux, with the exec being <qt_install_dir>/Tools/QtCreator/bin/qtcreator) with the following parameters:
-noload Welcome -noload QmlDesigner -noload QmlProfiler
- it may give you an error about not finding <qt_install_dir>/qtcreator; Ignore it and press OK
- go to Help->About Plugins... and uncheck "Qt Creator->Welcome" (I also deactivated QmlDesigner and QmlProfiler)
exit Creator and start it normally without any command line arguments
This may work on Windows too. If anyone has tried it, please let us know.
