thanks Paulo, still not quite getting it. First off, I'm on lubuntu 16.04, maybe that makes a diff. Second, I've used the ./build_all.sh script, which seems to run make install (I have binaries in /usr/bin, not /usr/local/ , the command in the wiki says LXQT_PREFIX=/usr , maybe that made a diff). I cannot find however any xsession installed anywhere.
Having cd'ed into lxqt-common/build and ran sudo make install that did copy over a bunch of things including the xsession file. Does this mean that the build_all.sh script somehow installed half stuff or something? I clearly have lxqt binaries in /usr/bin and those didn't get there by magic, but then I'm wondering why the stuff from lxqt-common did not. any thoughts? thanks, Spike On Tue, Sep 6, 2016 at 7:01 PM, Paulo Lieuthier <paulolieuth...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Spike, > > As far as I know, to test LXQt one only has to `make install` lxqt-common > and restart his display manager. lxqt-panel has the X11 session file and > the session startup script.
