Spike,
I installed LXQt from scratch today on Debian, and have found out yout have to
install oxygen-icon-theme to have proper icons by default.

Nothing is shared. Their icons problem may be due to XDG_DATA_DIRS not being
set. It is supposed to be set by the startlxqt script, which is defined to run
by the xsession file. Also, make sure each component is up to date.

fair enough. I will try to do the manual build/make install to see if that
was the issue. The stuff that looked broken seemed to be so due to
themes/icons. I imagined that because that user already ran lxde some of
the config files/settings maybe were shared. I'll try to make a fresh user
as well for testing before rebuilding stuff.
thanks,

Sounds like something wasn't properly installed, as nothing should be
looking broken or unusable. See the screenshots in lxqt.org

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.

Yeah, LXQT_PREFIX does that, sorry. lxqt-common files are
supposed to be installed just like with any other LXQt
component. Can you send us the whole output of the build
script? Anyway, did you get to start LXQt through the display
manager?

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

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. As by default make installs in
/usr/local, you may need to `export
PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH`.
Another thing I wasn't aware and just tested it to be
sure is that the session file may be installed to
/usr/local/xsessions, and you will need to move it to (or
create a symlink from) /usr/share/xsessions to be able to
choose it.

Dear all,
I'm trying to test the upcoming lxqt by building from
sources and running into a number of troubles.
For reference, I'm following this guide:
https://github.com/lxde/lxqt/wiki/Building-From-Source
First off, build would fail with a number of errors
which I tracked down to missing dependencies. I'm on
Lubuntu 16.04 and I had installed all packages specified
here:
https://github.com/lxde/lxqt/wiki/Building-From-Source#ubuntu
however I had to install these in addition for the build
process to work:
- libxss-dev
- libudev-dev
- libmuparser-dev
- libfm-dev
- libfm-qt-dev
once the build finished I was left wondering, how do I
test this? There's no "WM chooser/option" in lightdm
that I can see, maybe because the build process did not
install the needed config files. As I was trying to
figure out that I noticed that lxqt-lightdm-greeter is
deprecated. Does that mean that lxqt will be using the
current lightdm?
In any case, can anyone give me pointers on what to do
next to get the whole lxqt setup like under lxde (ie
session, panel, pcmanfm, etc).
thanks,
Spike
