    Yes, this is a very young project with many hurdles ahead. Right now I'm waiting for a release of 14o4. A working version of 13.10 is available.

    Well, I got myself on some mailing list and sign up to a few bogs. The developer chat is mostly over my head, but there seems to be a push going on with QT5.

    I have humbly asked about lxqt 14o4 in a few locations, but no reply.

    Yes, I have seen other reports of this.

    Seems that the compton-conf package is now resolved (fingers crossed) and is ready for testing.

    Thanks for the heads up

    For those interested, a package discription and other stuff is located here.

    http://ppa.launchpad.net/lubuntu-dev...amd64/Packages

    OK Build #1
    Installed lubuntu daily build and lxqt-metapackage. A 700M+ install. It booted right up and to my amazement, works nicely so far. Running it in virtualbox, one processor and 1G ram.

    Build #2 A lxqt addition on a existing lxde install. This is NOT a VM, but on a physical partition. On one 12 year old P4 and half a gig of ram.

    This build is using startx.
    I want to get startx working instead of lightdm.

    I have tried both
    ~/.xinitrc> exec lxqt-session
    and
    exec startlxqt

    Both exist in /usr/bin
    Both come back with 'invalid argument'

    What was "700M+"? The distro plus the ppa or just the ppa? Sorry, but it isn't clear to me.

    Hi vasa1

    I first installed a CLI (terminal only install) using the mini iso.

    Then I manually installed the PPA to software sources (and updated) and then with one command

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install lxqt-metapackage
    And then received the 700M+ install.

    Okay, so part of the 700M+ would be going from mini.iso to vanilla Lubuntu and the rest maybe be due to the lxqt package?
    Did you have things like Abiword, Pidgin, Sylpheed, etc installed during the process?
    I'm curious because the OMG article has this:
    A number of Qt dependencies will be pulled in as part of the installation process. Those wrestling with a particularly pathetic internet connection should plan accordingly.
