LXQT package also install entire KDE
LXQT package also install entire KDE
Installed using apt install lxqt sddm. After starting sddm, it defaults to KDE desktop (I presume kwin packages pulled in the entirety of KDE?). Is this the expected behavior? Should LXQT not be used together with sddm?
Re: LXQT package also install entire KDE
Hmm. LXQT does like many of the KF5 base components as requirements. Those components pull in very few if any dependencies. Tsujuan did better job than I could in explaining LXQT's usage of them.
As you can see from a previous post of mine, I was not looking in the upper left portion of sddm and did not see the place where you can toggle between DE's (or even DE vs WM). Now I can.

Re: LXQT package also install entire KDE
Not all of KDE, just most of it
LXQT pulls in a ton of KDE dependencies because it uses kwin as a window manager. Last Debian install I did I installed it because I was curious on whether they still used openbox as a WM - they don't. That install lasted about three minutes on my shiny new-to-me laptop.

Re: LXQT package also install entire KDE
I looks like a dependency issue:
sddm recommends sddm-theme-debian-breeze
sddm-theme-debian-breeze recommends desktop-base
desktop-base recommends kde-standard or xfce4 or wmaker
So, it looks like lxqt hasn't been added yet as an "or" recommends for the desktop-base package.
sddm recommends sddm-theme-debian-breeze
sddm-theme-debian-breeze recommends desktop-base
desktop-base recommends kde-standard or xfce4 or wmaker

Re: LXQT package also install entire KDE
I started this thread back in December, when I saw numerous Qt-related packages not updating. It was after this, that I discovered that installing the LXQt meta package also included a minimal KDE desktop.
Running Synaptic to update packages during that time, eventually removed the excess packages as well as KDE.
I'm using xfwm4 with LXQt, found kwin (the kwin-x11 package) to be extremely slow and with picom, there is a delay in the appearance of the desktop and the window theme is lost.

Don't forget the --no-install-recommends option when installing stuff. Very handy when there are badly written meta-packages.

Re: LXQT package also install entire KDE
No, by default LXQT doesn't use it. LXQT, by default, uses xfwm4, or another x-window-manager. Just check thiswizard10000 wrote: ↑2023-03-28 19:20 Not all of KDE, just most of it

Re: LXQT package also install entire KDE
You're right, I was mistaken. I saw all that KDE in LXQT and assumed it was using kwin.
