[SOLVED] LXQt: Black Background and File Associations Ingored

Hi,

I switched from Razor-qt 0.5 to LXQt 0.7 (both from AUR) recently, and I encountered two problems:
1. After login, there is only a black background and no right-click context menu works on the desktop (see linked screenshot below).
2. "Removable media/devices manager" opens mounted filesystems with filesight instead of dolphin.

Both issues worked fine in Razor-qt 0.5. I guess the black background problem relates to the lxqt-session-git package. LXQt 0.7 ships an own file associations dialog. I changed the default application of MIME type "directory" and "mount point" to dolphin, but obviously it is ignored. Usually, I manage MIME types with KDE's setting control panel. There, MIME types "directory" and "mount point" are associated with dolphin.

Maybe, anybody has a clue how to narrow down the problem.

Thanks.

These problems are due to pcmanfm not being installed. Install the pcmanfm-qt-git package. I'll update the LXQt wiki page.

Thanks, Chazza.

Package pcmanfm-qt-git solved the issue with the black background.

However, "Device manager" still ignores the MIME type assocations, even when creating a section for removed associations in ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list (like described in the wiki):

[Removed Associations]
inode/directory=filelight.desktop
inode/mount-point=filelight.desktop

I will investigate this problem further when I have enough time (maybe LXQt uses another MIME type for mounted devices). Nevertheless, I mark this thread as SOLVED.

Glad to hear your first problem is solved. As for the second problem, do you by any chance have exo installed? It's the helper library for xfce. I found a while back that exo seems to override xdg-mime associations.
