OK, the nice packager that made the bookworm debs on github put up his source files today, so am working on the packages now.

LXQT 1.3.0 should now be in the MX 23 test repository. Since we don't have that many packages in it overall, one easy way to try it is to install the Bookworm lxqt metapackage, and then use MXPI to search for upgradable packages in the test repo tab.

Have you tried it yet? I am backporting it for mx21, which has had more hurdles, but will be done later today. I would like to see if we can get it into mx23 main before release and then maybe brag about it a bit in the release announcement.

I am interested in testing this DE. Where would I find the metapackage to install? Thanks.

The "lxqt" metapackage is unchanged in Debian 10, 11, and 12, just listing unversioned sets of packages. That why I asked MX 23 users to just install the Debian lxqt, then in MXPI, use the test repo tab to see and install the highlighted upgradeable packages.

Hmmm--we have Falkon in that test repo, too. Since that's also a Qt 5 browser, it might be a good match for LXQT.

I'll make a new metapackage that will have versions in it to make installs easier, though, just real busy ATM.

Description: Metapackage for LXQt
 LXQt is an advanced, easy-to-use, and fast desktop environment based on Qt
 technologies. It has been tailored for users who value simplicity, speed, and
 an intuitive interface. Unlike most desktop environments, LXQt also works
 fine with less powerful machines.
 .
 This package is a metapackage meant to provide all components of LXQt plus
 some recommended components to provide a nearly feature complete desktop
 environment.

Okay, I figured (blundered my way through) it out. I am on the LXQT DE. Do I leave the MX TESTREPO enabled or I am thinking that I should disable it now that I have the DE?

There are some icons missing and the odd (or it might be even) error message but seems okay at first look.

I know you have your hands full with the RC1 so I am not going to go into a bunch of posts about issues with LXQT. I will wait until you have some time to look into them.

So far, looks and seems good. Off to play around some.

Thanks Stevo.

Re-read Stevo's instructions, you were not supposed to enable the test repo, just filter "upgradable packages" from the "test" tab of MXPI (which enables it *temporarily*)
If you did a dist-upgrade with a permanently enabled test repo you probably got all sorts of extra upgrades that may cause problems unrelated to LXQT.

PS: this being MX23 there probably isn't much in the test repository yet, so less potential for unwanted updates, but you should disable it now that you have installed what you wanted.

Anything go wrong with it yet? No extra smoke pouring from the machine's ports, for example? :crossfingers:
