Re: [Solved?] Upgrade to remove LXDE

Is lxqt the way forwards? Should we be moving away from lxde?

I asked that question in irc about a year ago, and there happened to be one of the lxde devs in the channel. He said that lxde is still alive and is not going away.

I haven't tried mixing lxde and lxqt, but I'm about to. Just built a live iso with task-lxde-desktop and lxqt. There is some weirdness in the installed packages: I have both libpam-ck-connector and libpam-elogind, and you're only supposed to have one of those. Also, pam-auth-update shows both consolekit and elogind active. But I only have the libpolkits for consolekit, not elogind.

Please show me what you get for this:

for i in consolekit elogind policykit polkit libpam ; do aptitude search ~i"$i" ; done

Re: [Solved?] Upgrade to remove LXDE

Thanks. I got the same plus lxpolkit. That's with task-lxde-desktop and lxqt in the list of packages to install. We must be using consolekit, since we have the -backend and -gobject that go with it. (instead of the ones that go with elogind)

I have no great revelations about this. Please report if anything doesn't work right.
