Just to share my experience:
System: BLFS (Systemd version)
QT5 installed path: /opt/qt5
LXQT installed path: /opt/lxqt
1. Fix the missing file "lxqt.desktop"
In my case, I cannot execute the instruction "cp -v
{$LXQT_PREFIX,/usr}/share/xsessions/lxqt.desktop" sucessfully because the
target directory is missing. So, I have to execute the following commands (as
root):
mkdir -p /usr/share/xessions
cp -v {$LXQT_PREFIX,/usr}/share/xsessions/lxqt.desktop
I have to make usre lxqt.desktop should be located in /usr/share/xessions
because "lightdm" will use it for session creation.
2. Modify lxqt.desktop
Since the intallation path of LXQT is "/opt" rather than "/usr", I have to
modify lxqt.destop so that "lightdm" can find the command:
"Exec=startlxqt" --> "Exec=/opt/lxqt/bin/startlxqt"
3. Modify "startlxqt"
3.1 After the function "contains", add the following line in order to setup the
environment variables (I guess we can skip it if the installation path is
"/usr"):
source /etc/profile
3.2 Before the line "exec lxqt-session", add the following lines:
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/?*.sh ; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi
killall kscreen_backend_launcher
/opt/lxqt/lib/libexec/kf5/kscreen_backend_launcher &
For the fist part, please read this reference for more information.
(https://github.com/lxde/lxqt/wiki/ConfigLaunch)
For the second part, it try to fix the starting problem of
"lxqt-config-monitor".
In my case, although "kscreen_backend_launcher" is started sucessfully and I
can find the realted D-Bus setting by a Python script
(https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/46301/a-list-of-available-dbus-services),
"lxqt-config-monitor" cannot connect to "KScreen". I have no idea about the
cause but I find that I can restart "kscreen_backend_launcher" to fix this
problem.
Then, I can start lightdm for testing: systemctl start lightdm
