SYNOPSIS

9       startlxqt
10

DESCRIPTION

12       startlxqt  is  a  shell script meant to initialize and launch LXQt ses‐
13       sions.  It is as such similar to counterparts of other desktop environ‐
14       ments like startlxde in LXDE or startkde in KDE.
15
16       It's  main tasks are exporting environment variables, partly after per‐
17       forming corresponding checks, and launching lxqt-session, the LXQt ses‐
18       sion manager.
19
20       It  is not meant to be run by users.  Rather, it is invoked as backend,
21       e. g. by script startx on virtual terminals or  display  managers  like
22       SDDM or LightDM, see section EXAMPLE.

EXAMPLE

34       To  start an LXQt session from a virtual terminal (virtual console) add
35       a line
36
37            exec startlxqt
38
39       to file ~/.xinitrc. An LXQt session will then be  launched  by  running
40       startx.
41
42       Display  managers  are  making  use of scripts like startlxqt automati‐
43       cally. Information about available desktop environments is provided  by
44       files   $XDG_DATA_DIRS/xsessions/*.desktop,  typically  /usr/share/xes‐
45       sions/*.desktop.
46       File lxqt.desktop provided by LXQt is stating  startlxqt  in  key  Exec
47       while  making sure the session manager lxqt-session does exist by stat‐
48       ing it in key TryExec.
