NAME¶

lxqt-wayland-session - Wayland session for LXQt

DESCRIPTION¶

This module provides the files needed for the Wayland session of the LXQt desktop environment and enables the Wayland settings page in lxqt-config-session.

FILES¶

startlxqtwayland: Script which starts the compositor and sets the keyboard layout.

lxqt-qdbus: Wrapper script for qdbus commands in keybindings. See lxqt-qdbus --help.

Desktop entry file stating startlxqtwayland as binary needed to start LXQt Wayland sessions. Sourced e. g. by display managers.

Basic configuration files for supported compositors where needed: Hyprland, kwin_wayland, labwc, niri, river, sway, wayfire.

UNSUPPORTED COMPOSITORS¶

Any compositor can be launched by startlxqtwayland but for starting and exiting the LXQt session a line lxqt-session && <exit_compositor_command> has to be added to its autostart configuration.

NOTES¶

Some lxqt-configuration tools currently do not support Wayland and those settings have to be configured in the compositor's configuration:

* lxqt-globalkeys

* lxqt-config-monitor (though kwin_wayland is mostly supported)

* lxqt-config-input

Limitations in lxqt-panel:

* Workspace support in lxqt-panel's taskbar plugin is supported only in kwin_wayland and Wayfire.

* Workspace switcher is supported in kwin_wayland, Wayfire and in compositors which support the ext-workspace-v1 protocol like niri and labwc.

* kbindicator and qeyes plugin are currently not supported under Wayland.
