Can't start LXQT

4p1C · 2014-05-22 07:08:38

Hi all,
I want to test the latest version of LXQT. I 'yaourted' it and put

exec startlxqt

on my .xinitrc (I'm using xdm).
After giving my credentials, I just have the mouse cursor and nothing else. I tried to keep an eye on

journalctl -f

but nothing exciting there. No more information on ~/.xsession-errors
What could I do to find out the origin of my problem? or may be someone has a trick to help me.
Thanks

Maybe yaourt hasn't pulled in all the necessary add-ons: you're probably better off putting it all together yourself...
EDIT: I did this myself & it all works fine, however I don't use yaourt and people have reported problems with it on this forum

As for you, which other add-ons are missing ?

The only things I have that you don't are libsysstat-git & libqtxdg-git --- try those...
libsysstat-git is required by lxqt-panel-git
libqtxdg-git is required by liblxqt-git, lxqt-panel-git & lxqt-policykit-git

Unfortunately, both are already installed :-(
Is there anyway to log the DM launch ?

Try disabling xdm and start X with "startx" from the command line, to remove the xdm variable. Also check /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

I have lxqt installed, and it works for me, using "exec startlxqt" in .xinitrc, started from the command line.

Launch it, kill it; then running

journalctl -xn100

will show the last 100 lines of the systemd journal: should be something in there...

When I installed lxqt-desktop-git from AUR, launching the session would also only give me a naked openbox session. I had to right click and open my xfce terminal to start "lxqt-panel &" to finally have some kind of desktop experience.

Did you install pcmanfm-qt-git? I think it's needed for the desktop.

I did that back when I tried it out. Didn't help.
