http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1100642 Bug ID: 1100642 Summary: LXQt Pattern missing Window Manager - Results in IceWM only or unusable Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: All OS: openSUSE Factory Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: LXDE Assignee: andrea@opensuse.org Reporter: tonysu@su-networking.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Affects LXQt installed as the original Desktop on Tumbleweed. Problem does not exist on LEAP. All instances and experimentations were in Virtualbox, but it's my impression none of these problems can be traced to VBox. To Reproduce: Tumbleweed install (DVD or Net) When screen prompts for Desktop selection, select button "Configure Online Repositories" After Online Repositories are configured, select "Custom" Select LXQt Graphical Environment Continue Installation. The installation will continue until an error is thrown and the User is prompted to select a Window Manager. At that point, the only WM that seems to work is IceWM. If openbox is selected (The WM configured in LEAP 15), the Desktop will be black, and a context sensitive menu <might> appear with a rt-click, but only once. After that, the Desktop will respond only to a left-click for configuring openbox, but the User will be unable to launch anything, eg a windowed console, a menu to select an app, etc. So, the environment is basically unusable. Have tried a variety of other WM as well, and have found only FVWM is usable, every other including kdewm, twm, gdm are no improvement over the unusable openbox. As noted, above icewm does seem to work somewhat. Most switching between WM were done by running update-alternatives --config default-xsession.desktop Also tried one experiment attempting to configure a WM using the following, but resulted in a completely unusable system, that was then paved and re-built. LXQt Control Center > Sessions Have done some superficial checking whether various components described by configurations exist or are missing by comparing a non-working Tumbleweed install with a working LEAP 15 but I haven't identified anything <missing> This perhaps suggests a fundamental difference in the way a Window Manager is configured and utilized between Tumbleweed and LEAP 15. Have recommended a "Major" severity if not Critical because at least from the perspective of installing LXQT as the <only> Desktop, the User/newbie would have to know to select IceWM just to result in something usable, and beyond that hardly any WM will work including what works in LeAP 15. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
