do we need to see how the menu looks in general mageia because I do not think that it is more convenient to catch the half screen.

[doktor5000]

I finalized a small bash script, called up to every connection.
He allows, during a first connection, to copy the general files towards the user.

A file is needed, placed in /etc/xdg/autostart, to launch the script. Here is mine actu.desktop:

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Actu
Comment=Update local configuration
Exec=/etc/lxqt/actu.sh
Icon=
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false

And here is the script /etc/lxqt/actu.sh:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
# Réalisé le 13-08-2014

if [[ ! -s ~/.config/lxqt/actu.conf ]]; then
   mkdir -p ~/.config/pcmanfm-qt/lxqt/
   mkdir -p ~/.config/lxqt
   echo "$(date)" > ~/.config/lxqt/actu.conf
   cp -f /etc/lxqt/lxqt.conf ~/.config/lxqt/lxqt.conf
   cp -f /etc/lxqt/session.conf ~/.config/lxqt/session.conf
   cp -f /etc/lxqt/panel.conf ~/.config/lxqt/panel.conf
   cp -f /etc/pcmanfm-qt/lxqt/settings.conf ~/.config/pcmanfm-qt/lxqt/settings.conf
   cp -f /etc/xdg/openbox/rc.xml ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml
fi
if [[ ! $(grep '\[Qt\]' ~/.config/Trolltech.conf) ]]; then
   echo "" >> ~/.config/Trolltech.conf
   echo "[Qt]" >> ~/.config/Trolltech.conf
   echo "style=Cleanlooks" >> ~/.config/Trolltech.conf
elif [[ ! $(grep 'style' ~/.config/Trolltech.conf) ]]; then
   sed -i '/\[Qt\]/a\style=Cleanlooks' ~/.config/Trolltech.conf
fi

The actu.conf file avoids the destruction of later modifications. Files are copied only in the first connection.
The end of the script also allows to configure the style of widgets

Not sure what your problem is - if you have a lot of applications installed, menu will be bigger to show all the applications.

If you only task-lxqt-minimal there will be much less menu entries.

please...

before considering dropping rasorqt, consider that some may use it to de-plasma kde.

dont get me wrong, im going for lxqt, but there are still some kde things, from kwin im not sure its going to give me.

can we at least keep it in the repo,

regards peter

No, Peter - that is not an option. lxqt is the successor and the next version of razorqt, and provides all the stuff that razor-qt provided and even a bit more.
What exactly do you miss from lxqt that razorqt provides?

[wintpe]

That was my point, I did not know, but after reading a bit more........

it seems you can still use kwin with LXQT, so as you say, its not so much LXDE using

QT with rasorqt merged, it is more rasorqt taking LXDE to another phase,
im sure if you choose openbox it will look more like LXDE and
if you use kwin, it will be familiar to those of us who use rasorqt to de-plasma kde

so i think panic over for me.

It was just a concern being id finally settled on a desktop i liked and i then saw it disappearing

regards peter

It should be included for sure.

Is there something wrong permanently or temporarily with the lxqt package presently available on:
http://mageia.madb.org/package/show/release/cauldron/application/0/name/task-lxqt

Thanks.

http://mageia.madb.org/package/show/release/cauldron/application/0/name/task-lxqt

That package has been built for cauldron, the development version of Mageia.

@jkerr:

I am installling cauldron as I am writing these lines.
Thanks a lot.

This is a hell of a change. I almost have the impression that my hdd is being rewritten anew.

[jkerr82508]

I hope that you read the warning on the page that I linked to.

If you are upgrading from Mageia 4, then almost every installed package will be replaced.

I'm currently waiting for 0.8 to be released, this is already pending since nearly a month :/

I like to experiment. So the precious data is well backed up.
Everything is fine now. And I am into lxqt. At first glimpse funtioning pretty well.

Thanks.

[francois]

Will there be or is there a persistance feature for the content of the desktop of lxqt?

Thanks.

[doktor5000]

What do you mean by persistence? And please don't open a new thread for this, but use viewtopic.php?f=0&t=7604 as you did previously.

[francois]

@docktor5000:
I was hesitating in starting this new one. Good that you intervene.

You can delete this thread, I will be at the other one. I though it was only a poll on lxqt.

[doktor5000]

You can delete this thread, I will be at the other one.

Threads are usually not deleted. I've merged it into the lxqt thread.

Please read the first line in first post:

edit doktor5000: thread with test results has been split of from LXQT poll thread: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=7510

Thanks for the hyperlink. It is exactly what I was looking for.

[doktor5000]

You still didn't answer the previous question:

What do you mean by persistence?

[francois]

Is there a way in lxqt that the open windows and programs with their content will persist to a reboot, as it is the case for the kde desktop.

Thanks.

[mellow_moon]

0.8 has been released!

[doktor5000]

And? Yes I'm aware, working on it - and no ETA yet when it will be complete.

[doktor5000]

Complete lxqt-0.8 should be available via core/updates_testing in cauldron.
Everything built against QT5. Two new themes have been added - Numix Frost and Numix Dark from http://intialonso.github.io/
Also lxqt-config-randr has been replaced by lxqt-config-monitor, and lxqt-appswitcher has been deprecated.

feedback is appreciated.

[napcok]

@doktor5000:
Thank you for working on it. I like to test it as soon as possible.
How to install it... seems like task-lxqt in Cauldron is still 0.7.0 version.

[doktor5000]

Complete lxqt-0.8 should be available via core/updates_testing in cauldron.

I've just submitted the push request today, so that it will be pushed to core/release and be included in final beta1 images.

[napcok]

Ok, I managed to install it by rebuilding and installing task-lxqt 0.8.0 from svn.

Feedback:
1. Broken translations - upstream issue.
2. There is compton-conf installed but not compton itself. Will it be imported to Mageia?
3. I'm really enjoing to use/test it. Lightweigt, nice looking and fast modern desktop environment

I will keep using it next days, and I will report issues if any.
