Final steps, before starting LXQt.
openbox-3.6.1 (runtime) - this may be replaced by another WM, see the Configuring instructions in lxqt-session-0.10.0.
lxdm-0.5.3, and D-Bus-1.10.10
User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/post-install
If installed in /usr, you do not need final configuration. Jump to “Starting LXQt”, below.
If installed in /opt, in order for the system to find some files,
run the following commands, as the root user:
ln -svfn $LXQT_PREFIX/share/lxqt /usr/share/lxqt &&
cp -v {$LXQT_PREFIX,/usr}/share/xsessions/lxqt.desktop &&
for i in $LXQT_PREFIX/share/applications/*
do
ln -svf $i /usr/share/applications/
done
for i in $LXQT_PREFIX/share/desktop-directories/*
do
ln -svf $i /usr/share/desktop-directories/
done
unset i
ldconfig
You can start LXQt from a TTY, using xinit-1.3.4.
sed -e '/TryExec/d' \
-i /usr/share/xsessions/lxqt.desktop
To start LXQt using xinit-1.3.4, run the following commands:
cat > ~/.xinitrc << "EOF"
dbus-launch --exit-with-session startlxqt
EOF
startx
The X session starts on the first unused virtual terminal, normally vt7. You can switch to another vtn simultaneously pressing the keys Ctrl-Alt-Fn (n=1, 2, ...). To switch back to the X session, normally started at vt7, use Ctrl-Alt-F7. The vt where the command startx was executed will display many messages, including X starting messages, applications automatically started with the session, and eventually, some warning and error messages. You may prefer to redirect those messages to a log file, which not only will keep the initial vt uncluttered, but can also be used for debug purposes. This can be done starting X with:
startx &> ~/.x-session-errors
When shutting down or rebooting, the shutdown messages appear on the vt where X was running. If you wish to see those messages, simultaneously press keys Alt-F7 (assuming that X was running on vt7).
