I managed to start LXQT and I'm super excited about what I've seen even tho it looked pretty broken/unusable, but I caught a few changes from lxde in terms of menu and managing removable devices that have been a big problem for the older/windows user I'm trying to help.
I will try to rebuild later and save the log file (I don't see a log file being generated so guess I'll have to save stdout). thank for all the help and the great work, it's very much appreciated.
