Re: [Lxde-list] best way to install and test lxqt on ubuntu xenial

[Paulo L. <pau...@gm...>]

Hi Spike,

0.10 is the last stable version released, and it's indeed old. We are very close 
to releasing the next version, with a lot of polishing and new features.

There are two PPA, and the one you linked is supposed to be the best one, as 
I've heard. I don't use Ubuntu, do can't say much. I build and install from 
source, and recommend it. To run it, you have to logout and choose it in your 
display manager. SDDM is recommended here. lxqt-common is the component that has 
the startup script and the session file.

Please report any difficulties with installation or configuration, and 
documentation incompleteness as well.
