I installed ROS noetic for ubuntu 20.04 following the steps presented on the next page: http://wiki.ros.org/noetic/Installati..., but the rqt command is not working for me and it always shows the following error

I'm curious how this happened. Perhaps you had previously installed PyQt5 and PyQt5-sip with pip3, and then the instructions installed an older version PyQt5 and PyQt5-sip via apt. If this is the case, it might make sense to improve the Noetic install instructions somehow.

Can the Noetic install instructions be improved?

Thank you, this solved my problem too.

pip3 uninstall PyQt5 pip3 uninstall PyQt5-sip

HI all,

great! It should be added that "apt remove python3-pyqt5" does not do the trick. When I do this, it would remove the whole ros installation.

Thanks! Werner
