[opensuse-factory] LXQT - problem after TW update
Good morning, I ran a zypper dup this morning on an old Netbook running LXQT. after rboot a screen popped up and asked something about a window manager....I think I chose icewm. Now i have the unpleasant situation that I have an icewm session running on top of lxqt! When I log off from icewm the 'normal' LQXT surface comes up, but w/o any window decorations (top bar with small/large/close button) I checked on update alternatives, but that looks good: eeePC:/home/axel # update-alternatives --config default-xsession.desktop There are 2 choices for the alternative default-xsession.desktop (providing /usr/share/xsessions/default.desktop). Selection Path Priority Status ------------------------------------------------------------ * 0 /usr/share/xsessions/lxqt.desktop 20 auto mode 1 /usr/share/xsessions/icewm-session.desktop 15 manual mode 2 /usr/share/xsessions/lxqt.desktop 20 manual mode When I log off from lxqr (via lxqt panel) it shows lxqt-session as well on the login panel. an idea what the issue is/how to fix it?

I think that is the issue: it is presented on top, but you needed to choose just a window manager, like openbox (I saw that too as I use lxqt for remote access: it wasn't clear at all). It is easily fixable though AFAICS. Edit ~/.config/lxqt/session.conf and put "openbox" in the "window_manager" line instead of icewm. Logout / login should do it then. -- Luca Beltrame GPG key ID: A29D259B

That fixed it, indeed! Now it is back to normal. Thanks for the quick help Axel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

lxqt-config or more detailed lxqt-config-session is the place to change the wm under "Window Manager". LXQt upstream now doesn't recommend a certain WM over others (previously they used Openbox). If you have more than one installed now we ask you which one you want to take. Some days ago I patched it to just use Openbox again if that is present. In general LXQt supports quite some Window Managers and the favourite ones of LXQt devs are Kwin and xfwm. If you want to play around with them you can always reset in lxqt-config-session. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
