= LXQt on FreeBSD =
[[http://lxqt.org/|LXQt]] is the Qt port of LXDE, the Lightweight Desktop Environment. It is the product of the merge between the LXDE-Qt and the Razor-qt projects.

Heavily work in progress, it needs some components of Plasma 5 (the new major KDE’s workspace).

== Install the LXQt (0.11) desktop ==
{{{#!wiki important
Due to missing piece of Plasma5 components in official ports tree, '''you must clone and merge''' the LXQt repository.
}}}
The best way is to fetch `lxqtmerge` script. Adjust '''LOCAL_REPO''' and '''PORTSDIR''' variables in the script before running it.
{{{#!wiki important
You'll need 
% pkg install ca_root_nss
if it is not already installed
}}}
{{{
% fetch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jsm222/lxqt-freebsd/0.11/lxqtmerge.sh
}}}
Below different options:

{{{
usage: lxqtmerge options

options:
  -h    display this help
  -c    clone remote repository
  -m    merge into the ports tree
  -u    update local repository
  -r    revert changes
}}}
{{{
# lxqtmerge -c
# lxqtmerge -m
}}}
Now you are able to compile the meta-ports `x11-wm/lxqt` and `x11/lxqt-l10n` (translations of each LXQt components).

== Known issues (and fixes) ==
It's advised to use UTF-8 as character encoding, especially for Western Europeans users (some translation are not well displayed in settings widgets).

If PCManFM-qt crashes, when you leave your session, create the `~/Templates` directory. Or install `devel/xdg-user-dirs`.

== Tips ==
PCManFM-qt is able to use UDisks2 service (for removable storages), install `sysutils/bsdisks`.

=== Starting the desktop ===
==== Using .xinitrc ====
{{{
% cp /usr/local/bin/startlxqt ~/.xinitrc
}}}
=== Make lxqt-leave's power commands work ===
LXQt depends on ConsoleKit2 (fork, [[https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=202269|PR 202269]]). In ports tree only ConsoleKit is available (`sysutils/consolekit`). However it can be found in the Xfce development repository (see the [[https://wiki.freebsd.org/Xfce|FAQ]]).

1. Get the port:

{{{
svn co https://subversion.assembla.com/svn/xfce4/trunk/sysutils/consolekit
}}}
2. Copy it to your ports tree (Replacing the existing `sysutils/consolekit`)

 * Remove previous `files/` directory (patches are already in ConsoleKit2)

3. Rebuild every port (installed on your system), which depends of `sysutils/consolekit`.

 * To know which ports need to be rebuild, try the following command:

{{{
pkg query %ro consolekit
}}}
If it's a fresh install, this command is better:

{{{
pkg rquery %ro consolekit
}}}
{{{#!wiki note

For massive rebuild, using `ports-mgmt/poudriere` or `ports-mgmt/synth` is recommanded way.
