I can confirm that there is no qt5.11 folder within /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/qtvcp/designer/x86_64/

Did you get this working on Mint 20.1 , I can't install the script from the repo 'linuxcnc-uspace-dev package' because of uninstallable python-serial and python-yapps dependencies. (master branch).
Doing it manual doesn't resolve my problems either.

Axis works, but QTplasma refuses to work. Always get Qtvcp / Qtwidgets and QT-core errors. (On Mint 19.3 everything works.)

I'm new and just trying to convert my router to a plasma table with a mesa 7i96. I've got a long way to go..
