Public bug reported: Hello, I had installed pcmanfm-qt to try it and then I removed it*. At the next Ubuntu start up, Ubuntu got stuck at the loading screen (the one with "Ubuntu" written on a purple background and dots beneath it). The mouse pointer was not Gnome's, it was LXDE's, and there was a grey rectangle at the bottom right corner of the screen. After the third reboot instead of the rectangle there appeared a dialog reporting some lxqt error (it was something related to not being able to start the power management utility, if I recall correctly). To solve the issue I had to log in into a console and uninstall lxqt packages. I was able to get Gnome back only after uninstalling lxqt-session.
* If you wish to know, I didn't keep it because I want the file manager to keep file selected after copying/cutting and pasting them around. In other words, the problem is that when I select some files, go to another directory and paste them, they get lost among the other files that are already there. ** Affects: pcmanfm-qt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1769313 Title: Installed lxqt dependencies try to override Gnome at next start up (Ubuntu 17.10) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcmanfm-qt/+bug/1769313/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
