Please reply to the mailing list. lxqt is a hard dependency of lubuntu-qt-desktop. Take a look at the packages, the meta-packages will install. If I would like to test and/or use lxqt, I wouldn't install a meta-package at all. If you want to go with a meta-package consider to start with e.g. sudo apt install --no-install-recommends lxqt "no-install-recommends" ensures that e.g. firefox isn't installed, instead of firefox, you might want to install falkon. At another time you easily could install more packages. Note, the meta-package includes "xfwm4 window manager of the Xfce project or x-window-manager virtual package provided by [show 58 providing packages]" x-window-manager is a virtual package for e.g. openbox. -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users

Suggestions, anyone? "Lubuntu will transition from LXDE to the LXQt desktop with the release of Lubuntu 18.10 in October 2018." - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubuntu You could install any Ubuntu flavor or install from the server image and install a meta-package https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/lxqt or https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic-updates/lubuntu-qt-desktop . > > Thanks :) > > > Ian > > -- > -- ACCU - Professionalism in programming - http://www.accu.org > -- My writing - https://sites.google.com/site/ianbruntlett/ > -- Free Software page - > https://sites.google.com/site/ianbruntlett/home/free-software > > -- > Lubuntu-users mailing list > Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com > Modify settings or unsubscribe at: > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
[lubuntu-users] Tower PC, lubuntu and Qt
Hi, I have a tower PC that I had refurbished for a friend who turned out not to have enough room for it in her new flat. So it is knocking around, not doing much. Thought it might be interesting to try LxQt - is it still called that or is it now officially Lubuntu Next? I've done some Googling, done some askubuntu.com searches and am still not 100% sure how to go about installing LxQt. Suggestions, anyone?
