Install lxqt-session by running the following commands:
sed -e '/TryExec/s|=|=/usr/bin/|' \ -i xsession/lxqt.desktop.in && mkdir build && cd build && cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \ -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \ .. && make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root
user:
make install
sed -e '/TryExec/s|=|='/usr'/bin/|' -i xsessions/lxqt.desktop.in: If you are using a display manager, the full path of the “TryExec” directive has to be given so that the LXQt desktop will appear in the sessions list.
Window Managers other than openbox-3.6.1 may be used, e.g. Xfwm4-4.20.0. Please note that IceWM-3.6.0 is not a
good substitute. Fluxbox does
work, although in this context (with lxqt-config-2.1.1), openbox-3.6.1 is
better. The configuration file /usr/share/lxqt/windowmanagers.conf
comes with
many examples of Window Managers and the ones which are installed
will appear in a drop down list of lxqt-config-session. For the ones
not included in /usr/share/lxqt/windowmanagers.conf
, you can use
lxqt-config-session's
"search" button, e.g. for Fluxbox-1.3.7, navigating through the
file system until you can choose fluxbox.
