Greetings, I found out what the problem was and I have adjusted the wiki page. The difference from the daily PPA and my PPA is that my PPA is *just* the metapackage and the daily PPA has more than that. -- Simon Quigley tsimo...@ubuntu.com tsimonq2 on Freenode -- Lubuntu-users mailing list

Hi Simon, in that case, would you revert the instructions back to using the lubuntu ppa which is more recognisable than a single person's ppa I followed https://wiki.ubuntu.com/phillw/LXQt#Installing_LXQt_on_fresh_system last night (an earlier edition of the page) and it worked fine. Regards. P

Afaik Simon's PPA was the only one with the metapackage, so it's still relevant while we wait to get it in all the other places. On Apr 24, 2016 13:08, "Phill. Whiteside" wrote: > Hi Simon, > > in that case, would you revert the instructions back to using the lubuntu > ppa which is more recognisa

The Lubuntu PPA has the metapackage, but it has other packages that in my experience have caused conflicts. The PPA is just a single, clean instance that takes packages from Ubuntu. -- Simon Quigley tsimo...@ubuntu.com tsimonq2 on Freenode -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ub

Do you know what steps, if any, have been taken to resolve this in the daily PPA? If not, we should make that a priority to have fixed. On Apr 24, 2016 13:17, "Simon Quigley" wrote: > The Lubuntu PPA has the metapackage, but it has other packages that in my > experience have caused conflicts. The

hi, I do appreciate the keeness, but when faced with "it doesn't work" I ran https://wiki.ubuntu.com/phillw/LXQt#Installing_LXQt_on_fresh_system and it worked. My reasoning is therefore that we should stick to a proven working system that will, after all, be what Julien pushes forward for adoptio

Yeah the problem from the OP is the daily PPA. Simon's causes no such problems. Thus, while you're thinking is not wrong, it's not relevant. If anything, we should warn people not to use the daily PPA. On Apr 24, 2016 1:22 PM, "Phill. Whiteside" wrote: hi, I do appreciate the keeness, but when

Thank you Simon, I do not have system to upgrade anymore so I won't have a chance to test. But If I find some time I'll try to do a fresh install in a VM. On Sun, Apr 24, 2016 at 8:35 PM, Simon Quigley wrote: > Greetings, > > I found out what the problem was and I have adjusted the wiki pag

I guess I missed a lot of the conversation when I replied earlier. I was not aware of the process. I really though you were working of Julien's Meta. I know a lot of people(testers) have been using Julien's Meta for a while and therefore when something breaks or is out of place it is fixed very

Good point here. PPAs are, in general, to be considered unstable and unsupported (read: risky). This is true with both of the PPAs we're discussing. Often times daily build PPAs track upstream changes which may create problems. Because of this, they should not be recommended. The reason using the

I've modified the wiki page[1] to state: "At this time, we are waiting for the LXQt metapackage to be included in the Ubuntu repositories. For now, use the ppa:tsimonq2/lxqt-meta PPA for an up-to-date metapackage. The purpose of this PPA is to simplify installing the packages required for LXQt.
