In Ubuntu 22.04, `qt5-default` is replaced by `qtbase5-dev`:

```bash
sudo apt-get install -y qtbase5-dev qt5-qmake

#### Troubleshooting

If you encounter a segmentation fault launching Pixelpulse2 on Linux, make sure Qt5 is picked correctly. You may find GDB useful: run `gdb pixelpulse2` in a terminal to see what is causing the error. For example, the output below shows that conda's libQt5Qml.so is picked instead of Qt5 system package:

```
Thread 4 "QQmlThread" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[Switching to Thread 0x7ffff15fd640 (LWP 65006)]
0x00007ffff6fa01b8 in QQmlPropertyCache::property(int) const () from /home/.../miniconda3/lib/libQt5Qml.so.5
```

In this case, remove all Qt-related conda's packages:

```
$ conda remove pyqt pyqt5-sip qt-main qt-webengine qtwebkit
```
