Lxqt-kwin fails at first and after update

Issues & Assistance Lxqt

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.
