ok, it's a bit superfluous: apt-get install xorg lxqt sddm xfwm4
is really apt install lxqt xinit - to be more verbose; sddm is the recommended dm sddm-maui is the recommended theme xfwm4 is the recommended WM the very most needed X-related packages should be thrown in by default, except xinit - the dependencies of xorg are a bit overkill Without further modifications sddm will start, lxqt will start - everything is fine, except the xdg-config-path which is hard set in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/60x11-common_xdg_path - it should fix that. (i guess, that deleting that file is not an option :) ) so - whats happend: without deleting or extending 60x11-common_xdg_path the minimum upstream configurations are not found, no configuration package was loaded so LXQt will start without any configuration. And it start perfectly fine - ok, no wm is found, the design is black in black, the black panel on a black background has no widgets - but it starts fine. Conclusion: Option 1: Somewhere before 99x11-common_start XDG_CONFIG_DIRS should be extended by /usr/share Option 2: the session should depend on or recommend a settings package which put settings into /etc/xdg Option 3: the lxqt-session itself should be patched to include /usr/share - like the current state in cosmic. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1781392 Title: sddm will not start lxqt desktop correctly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxqt-session/+bug/1781392/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
