Hi This is just a hack that I figured out when I wanted to see if it was possible to get a pure LXQt flavor in (l)ubuntu 18.04....
Everything was done in Virtualbox. First I installed ubuntu 18.04 server (x64), as that is the only way I know of to get a minimal install without X. Then I installed LXQt desktop pkgs with 'tasksel' sudo tasksel install lubuntu-qt-desktop Sure enough after that I started facing the exact same errors as mentioned by the OP. I checked the following location.. user01@vm-ubuntu:~$ ll /usr/share/xsessions/ total 32 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 11 14:29 ./ drwxr-xr-x 289 root root 12288 Jul 11 18:04 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 157 Feb 13 01:09 Lubuntu.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2309 Dec 15 2017 lxqt.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 198 Mar 12 15:41 openbox.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 125 Feb 13 01:09 QLubuntu.desktop I removed the 'Lubuntu.desktop' file and created a symlink with the same name pointing to the file 'lxqt.desktop' and voilà..., problem solved :) now /usr/share/xsessions/ looks like this user01@vm-ubuntu:~$ ll /usr/share/xsessions/ total 32 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 11 14:29 ./ drwxr-xr-x 289 root root 12288 Jul 11 18:04 ../ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Jul 11 14:29 Lubuntu.desktop -> /usr/share/xsessions/lxqt.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2309 Dec 15 2017 lxqt.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 198 Mar 12 15:41 openbox.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 125 Feb 13 01:09 QLubuntu.desktop Hope somebody will find this useful Thanks Emon -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1770801 Title: Xsession: unable to launch "/usr/bin/lxsession -s Lubuntu -e LXDE" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1770801/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
