Hi Spike,
0.10 is the last stable version released, and it's indeed old. We are very close
to releasing the next version, with a lot of polishing and new features.
There are two PPA, and the one you linked is supposed to be the best one, as
I've heard. I don't use Ubuntu, do can't say much. I build and install from
source, and recommend it. To run it, you have to logout and choose it in your
display manager. SDDM is recommended here. lxqt-common is the component that has
the startup script and the session file.
Please report any difficulties with installation or configuration, and
documentation incompleteness as well.

Hi there,
I'm having troubles figuring out what's the best way to take lxqt for a test
run.
First off, http://lxqt.org/releases/ mentions 0.10, but that seems old (nov
2015) altho Lubuntu 16.04 ships Version: 0.10.0-2.
Then there's the ppa, which seems to have 0.11
https://launchpad.net/~lxqt/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
<https://launchpad.net/%7Elxqt/+archive/ubuntu/ppa> , is this the preferred
way to install on ubuntu to try it out?
That said, the only place I could find a version number set in the lxde git
repo is this:
https://github.com/lxde/liblxqt/blob/cd10d270b85b6e7cf1382c22bcad5e301a858c97/CMakeLists.txt
which lists 0.10, so I'm puzzled, I'm clearly missing something somewhere.
Also I found https://intialonso.github.io/ which seems to be using the PPA. Is
that a good way to test?
last but not least, assume I got lxqt installed (trying to build from sources
now following https://github.com/lxde/lxqt/wiki/Building-From-Source), how am
I supposed to try it out? should I drop to a shell and startx or something?
appreciate any help and/or pointers.
thanks,
Spike
