[SOLVED] can't run lxqt
I have fresh install of arch linux with sway but after I install lxqt and xorg, it shows this:
qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposit-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, xcb.In the arch wiki, it just says just install lxqt. what am I missing?

Re: [SOLVED] can't run lxqt
sway runs on wayland, lxqt is xorg. Neither can run on the other display server.
What are you trying to start from where that gives this message ?
Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Re: [SOLVED] can't run lxqt
No, the wiki certainly does not say to run that command directly. Read it again.

Re: [SOLVED] can't run lxqt
I solved it.
I haven't installed the xinit.
followed this instruction:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xinit#xinitrc
I realized you can't run startlxqt directly.
you have to put it on ~/.xinitrc and run startx
thank you for the help.

Re: [SOLVED] can't run lxqt
Ftr, the xinitrc in that wiki article is supposed to be a snippet, if that's your entire xinitrc, it's broken (see the last link below and pay attention to the note what to include at least)
