In my opinion as Lubuntu Release Manager, this needs to get in Bionic as soon as possible, especially with the upgrade enablement date coming shortly.

We don't. + + Lubuntu Next was never released, and this file should have never been in + that binary in a release. + + [Test Case] + + Test if QLubuntu is an available session to choose on login. It + shouldn't be. + + [Regression Potential] + + None; users shouldn't be using it anyway. Not only is it broken, it's + unsupported. + + [Original Description] + Immediately after choosing "Lubuntu Qt" session at login time, a small window appears with the message: - unable to launch "/usr/bin/startlxqt" as session --- "/usr/bin/startlxqt" not found; falling back to default session. + unable to launch "/usr/bin/startlxqt" as session --- "/usr/bin/startlxqt" not found; falling back to default session. There's an "Okay" button. After pressing the button, the system crashes. In /usr/share/xsessions, there are three files: Lubuntu.desktop openbox.desktop QLubuntu.desktop The content of QLubuntu.desktop are: [Desktop Entry] Name=Lubuntu Qt session Comment=A specific Lubuntu session using Qt Exec=/usr/bin/startlxqt Type=Application I suggest that QLubuntu.desktop be removed from future point releases of Lubuntu 18.04, or earlier if possible, so that users cannot login into the session it appears to provide.
