Good and bad news regarding Qt and LXQt

[melmarker]

The good news is: Qt 5.4.2 is finally in sid
The bad news is: i have to rebuild all LXQt and third party packages that depend on parts of LXQt. So if your system ask you to remove some packages with qt in it, you should answer no if you are doing a dist-upgrade.

d-u ran through smoothly some tens of minutes ago on my thinkpad.

no issues detected!

thanks melmarker

A DU just now wants to remove lxqt. You are doing a great job  melmarker with the siduction lxqt repro thanks for all the hard work, I really like lxqt and have now changed from Enlightenment for the foreseeable future. Is there a timescale for lxqt being part of the main Debian repros, I can't see anything on their website.

[melmarker]

titan: LXQt will be in debian - there will be a new release of libqtxdg - we will start with that. The other LXQt packages will go into hopefully step by step with the 0.10 release i hope. Anyway - team, lists and repos @alioth are prepared.

Good news, thanks.

I lost my panel at the bottom of my desktop.  What .conf or other change do I make to get the panel back?

[melmarker]

hmm - eventually after a d-u? in that case - reinstall it
if installed, try Alt-F2 and type lxqt-panel in the runner application

[mdmarmer]

OK, I'm missing lxqt-runner-qt5 -- I must have accidentally let my d-u remove that package

[melmarker]

apt-get install lxqt could help - its a meta-package. and the -qt5 packages are transitional, thanks to our friends from fedora

[mdmarmer]

OK, thanks.  I got the panel back.  Probably I let some packages get deleted in d-u.
