I have also heard that some Linux distributions (I do not know which) provide Qt examples in a separate package, which you need to install separately. Please check that

1) You have a Qt registered in Qt Creator
2) You have that selected in the combo box on the examples page
3) Your Qt actually *provides* examples (and documentation).
   For self-built that also means running "make docs", for Linux distribution provided
   Qt that might mean installing an extra qt-examples/doc package. The combined Qt5 installers
   from download.qt-project.org provide them by default.
