LXQt Transition started

[melmarker]

That means - do yourself a favour and don't do dist-upgrades for the next two days.

Füsse stillhalten, das ist in 2 Tagen durch.

Thanks for the heads up, melmarker.

Heh -- too late for me!   


But, no serious damage.  The "Leave" (or whatever it is) item on the menu is now a plain white square with no icon in it. But when clicked, it still offers the same sub-menu of exiting or shutting down options.  Everything seems to be working as expected, just some graphics/visual stuff has changed.

[melmarker]

The reason for that warning was:
https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/auto-libqtxdg.html

hell, the transiton started as soon as i uploaded qtxdg and build-tools - and all leaf packages start to rebuild. To be true, we never have tested this case upstream nor we had any interests to do so - seems to work without major breakages - but from an upstream point of view the whole repository is in an inconsistent state until the last part of the release is finished

Edit: One might notice that the panel and the runner are still on 0.11.1 - dunno which mix was uploaded to the mirrors within the transition.

common kann und soll weg - zum Glück. das hat viel Arbeit gemacht - patience sollte ich dann wohl mal anpassen.

[melmarker]

Fixed. LXQt is fully in sid too, so i set this solved.

Thank You melmarker

Must just be just me then, upgraded yesterday now I have no icons in PCmanfm qt. This has happened before some time ago during one of the many qt transitions and I went back to PCmanfm for a couple of months. Then it was possible to change the icon set and get a working file manager but it did not survive a reboot, not this time. Icons for folders do not show although thumbnails do.


I have Lxqt installed but use i3 mostly and had a review and trial run of a few the current file managers as it is an application I use a lot and the big surprise was SpaceFM what an improvement since I last looked some time ago, I think this will be my default for the time being. Unfortunately not a natural choice for LXQT as it is not QT5.

[melmarker]

https://github.com/IgnorantGuru/spacefm - one could consider this project dead. But hey, your choice.

[titan]

Am I the only one with this no icon problem ?


Regarding SpaceFM the rolling version is not so old  https://code.launchpad.net/~mati75/+archive/ubuntu/spacefm-unstable

Melmarker, I am not sure what point you are trying to make, I appreciate the work you do with LXQT and Nomacs. You said it was safe to upgrade LXQT which I did only to find it had broken PCman. I have asked twice am I the only one with this problem, no reply so far. I also commented I had found a temporary replacement file manager, you don't respond to the bug in PCman but to tell me Spacefm is not maintained. To be honest I am not bothered at least it works.

[melmarker]

You said it was safe to upgrade LXQT which I did only to find it had broken PCman. I have asked twice am I the only one with this problem, no reply so far.

The point is: YOU broke your installation. With all my three hats on i can't see here any problem: siduction, debian maintainer and LXQt upstream. If we could aggree that this is the most likely case there are a few things possible: partial upgrade aka libqt5xdg2 still in place, no current lxqt-qtplugin, no lxqt-session with current lxqt-qtplugin etc - it might be all possible and it is nothing we can fix or are interested in. BTW: Only out of curiosity i took an old siduction image, installed it, installed i3, purged xfwm4, restarted and have done a full upgrade. Result see below:

[titan]

Thanks for investigating and answering my question, is it just my installation with this problem ? looks that way. No idea why, it has been running daily for years without a problem up to the last upgrade. I have now completely purged LXQT and  only reinstalled PCmanFM-qt none of the apps you mentioned are installed   libqt5xdg2, lxqt-qtplugin, or lxqt-session. PCmanFM-qt now has icons and looks fine apart from the folders and files are listed horizontally not vertically is this a bug or a feature, I prefer the normal vertical  listing but cant find any settings to change it, a Google has not turned up anything either.


thanks for your help.
