Lxqt-kwin fails at first and after update

Issues & Assistance Lxqt
1

Hello!

The installation completes successfully. The new system boots ok . It connects to the internet. All good. However setup-assistant fails with "Update failed". This is happening with a fresh install, right after my first boot. Any subsequent attempt yields the same problem. I tested on different macbooks pro. Same result.
Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Working fine here on i3wm.

Try

garuda-update

in terminal.

Thank you!
That worked. The system was updated successfully.

However if i try again setup-assistant it fails as before. I think it's a handy tool as it guides the new user to install proprietary drivers and/or applications suites of interest. Although I can install applications with octopi/pacman ... it would be great if that could be made functional again in a future release. I think it works on all other flavors of Garuda I've tried.

Nonetheless you've been very helpful. And sorry for not inserting the code properly in my initial post, I will do a better job next time :wink:

Sad, ok, I move it to #issues-assistance:lxqt

BTW, did you reboot your PC? :slight_smile:

6

Sadly the issue persists also when rebooting after launching garuda-update.

Thanks again!

I have the same issue with lxqt-kwin. I believe this also happens with cinnamon.

8

You should able to update your system with garuda-update. After that you can install everything else with add/remove software app (or pacman). That was my approach at least

9

Garuda recommends using only pacman/paru, pamac (add/remove software) is not recommended.

I can confirm this issue after installing garuda-lxqt-kwin-linux-zen-220909.iso just now.

The Setup Assistant launches, "Welcome to Garuda Linux!" and so on, but when you click "OK" it immediately fails:

I brought the system fully up to date and then ran the Setup Assistant again, but it still immediately fails.

Thinking back to this thread, I installed Alacritty and ran it again. Sure enough, it runs fine after Alacritty is installed.

I took another peek in /usr/lib/garuda/launch-terminal, and it looks like LXQt is supported terminal-wise:

terminal=""
declare -A terminals=( ["alacritty"]="alacritty -e $cmd || LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 alacritty -e $cmd" ["konsole"]="konsole -e $cmd" ["gnome-terminal"]="gnome-terminal --wait -- $cmd" ["xfce4-terminal"]="xfce4-terminal --disable-server --command '$cmd'" ["lxterminal"]="lxterminal -e $cmd" ["xterm"]="xterm -e $cmd" )
declare -a term_order=( "alacritty" "konsole" "gnome-terminal" "xfce4-terminal" "lxterminal" "xterm" )

if [ "$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP" == "KDE" ]; then
   terminal=konsole
elif [ "$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP" == "GNOME" ]; then
   terminal=gnome-terminal
elif [ "$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP" == "XFCE" ]; then
   terminal=xfce4-terminal
elif [ "$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP" == "LXQt" ]; then
   terminal=lxterminal
fi

:point_up: lxterminal, however, is not installed in garuda-lxqt-kwin-linux-zen-220909.iso. The default terminal is QTerminal.

Easy enough to fix after someone presenting the solution :yum: Good work @BluishHumility !

Interesting

Nice going on the quick fix!

I'm not sure if it matters, but it looks like there is still a lingering lxterminal on line 34 where the terminal order is announced :face_with_monocle::

declare -a term_order=("alacritty" "konsole" "gnome-terminal" "xfce4-terminal" "lxterminal" "xterm")

This is a little off-topic, but maybe if one of you guys has a chance you could figure out how to get mate-terminal on the list? :pleading_face:

It is the only terminal that the Mate spin ships with, so none of the tools that use launch-terminal work until Alacritty is installed. I couldn't figure out how the declare -A terminals= line needs to be handled for mate-terminal. :thinking:

A bit more complicated to make mate-terminal work, it requires some special sauce (It doesn't seem to take arguments in the command? And it seems to run the binary directly instead of launching it in a shell? Fair enough.)

We've had similar issues in our eos-quickstart app and we solved it back then by installing xterm on every install :rofl:

Maybe we can use some of your code to add support for Qterminal and mate-termninal

16

That's... terrible. :stuck_out_tongue:
