[Ubuntu 20.04, ROS2 galactic] Cannot open RQT, error given: 'ValueError: PyCapsule_GetPointer called with incorrect name'
Hello everyone! Apparently it's a common problem but I could not find a solution that worked with my installation.
I'm using Ubuntu Focal Fossa, tried both ROS2 Foxy and Galactic but I can't get to rqt work.
I installed everything by apt and removed both PyQt5 and PyQt5-sip from pip3 as explained in some answers, but this still doesn't work for me.
Does anyone have any idea of what might be the problem?
