[beagleboard] LXQT Desktop on BBB corrupts

[vandepolljw]

Hi All

New here and a few months on BBB.

Installation:
Development on uSD with LXQT desktop straight from the image: 2018-10-17.
Linked to Laptop via wifi modem on usb port (using Nitroshare), keyboard & 
mouse etc.
Installed a number of programs to edit compile; Geany, Freebasic, Qupzilla, 
Document viewer, Gedit and Calculator.
Libpruio, LibAllegro4 and Libcgui.
I run the program from the uSD and test it, then when done copy it to the 
Flash drive.

All good.
Except the Desktop gets corrupted without touching any of my additional 
installs.
The corruption shows itself as completely removing all my icons and 
replacing them with 
folders from the disk in order ie: bin boot dev etc home ...19 in total 
plus a document icon for each document 
that may happen to be in the root folder.

I can make it happen by:
Changing the wallpaper
Logging out and logging back in as standard user.

If you use PCManFM to browse the disk, the Desktop folder on the disk still 
has the right content.
I can do everything I do normally except not from the desktop.
This is really annoying.

To correct this, I have to reimage the uSD.

Would appreciate any constructive comments on how to fix this.
I dont want to change to different desktop manager, as this one should work 
bug free.

Regards
Dinosaur

[beagleboard] Boot options (Terminal or GUI)

[vandepolljw]

Hi All

Have only owned and played with the BBB for one week.
The uSD has been configured with 
bone-debian-8-11-lxqt-4gb-armhf-2019-01-07-4gb.img
The on board eMMC has been wiped completely.(interferes with Libpruio)
Installed the development environment on the uSD and can compile and run 
the applications.

The GUI takes 80 secs to boot up, but once I run my application, there is 
no discernible speed  problems
compared to my other installations that use a Fitlet.

I would like to setup a boot sequence that boots into Terminal unless a key 
is pressed and then it should boot into the GUI.
The terminal would then auto execute my application.

So all the browsing I have done has led me nowhere concrete, but to be fair 
my Linux terminal command experience is limited.

Would appreciate any constructive suggestions towards this goal.

Regards
