well I booted the ubuntudde-dde iso and did a dpkg
<rneese>
but now looking at how we can make out install match to a point
<R0b0t1``>
basically, due to limitations on how many people can keep track of, a lot of groups self organize into 120 members or fewer
<R0b0t1``>
why I think this is interesting is you can go backwards too: it's likely you're 1 of only 120 or so people working on a given thing in the entire world, at least with any specificity
<R0b0t1``>
and within that you may literally be the only one doing what you are doing right now in whatever technical capacity
<lanefu>
whoa
<lanefu>
that's super wild

Hi. I'm trying to set up LxQt. I have sddm, openbox, lxqt installed and it boots but I don't see any window managers listed when I log in
<Grobo>
How can I get this to work?
<nekomancer[m]>
Grobo: run `dpkg-reconfigure lxdm`
<nekomancer[m]>
or sddm
<nekomancer[m]>
recommended for lxqt display manager
<nekomancer[m]>
* Grobo: run `dpkg-reconfigure sddm`
<Grobo>
thank you
* nekomancer[m]
not remember display manager name
<nekomancer[m]>
and you need to have non-root user added to users
<Grobo>
Yes, I have a non-root user. The problem has been after logging in with that user.
<nekomancer[m]>
do you get a graphic login prompt if you start sddm from text console under root?
<Grobo>
I switched to a terminal, logged in as root and tried 'sddm' it says "aborted"
<nekomancer[m]>
om... then sorry, I have no ideas :(
<Grobo>
maybe I should try something other than openbox
<nekomancer[m]>
2 days ago I solve same as your problem for kde-plasma-desktop
<nekomancer[m]>
but my sddm works from root
<Grobo>
maybe the existing GUI is conflicting with it
<Grobo>
sddm started for non-root at boot
<nekomancer[m]>
it's possible if it runs
<nekomancer[m]>
is it run? do you see it in `ps -ef|grep sddm`?
<Grobo>
yes, it's running
<nekomancer[m]>
then — why don't you see a prompt?
<nekomancer[m]>
what do you have on screen after boot?
<Grobo>
I see the login prompt and I log in. The problem is then it asks for a window manager and doesn't show anything
<Grobo>
(except "Other")
<nekomancer[m]>
login prompt in text mode?
<Grobo>
No, it's graphical
<nekomancer[m]>
then you don't need to run sddm, you got it already.

I am going over the pkgs and rm whats installed from the list
<rneese>
so I can work on the list to make it smaller
<rneese>
0 upgraded, 690 newly installed, 0 to remove and 26 not upgraded.
<rneese>
Need to get 398 MB of archives.
<rneese>
After this operation, 1,963 MB of additional disk space will be used.
<lanefu>
lol it sounds like nodejs
<rneese>
this is just a new desktop build
<rneese>
so I am working on the basics of the install to make it all work
<rneese>
but I figure its going to take a day or 2 to get the full install right
<rneese>
then then get the build into github
<lanefu>
yeah that stuff is tedious.. like i spent an evening or two just trying to figur eout hte right place to update defaults for xfce fr the mouse adn power management lol

needs to get this commit pushed and get into the garage
<rneese>
yeah but for me to get this right and get a build going it will be good
<rneese>
I figured makingn it match the ubuntudde iso would be best so we know it works
<lanefu>
yeah sounds like easiest place to baselien frmo
<igorp_>
rneese: its me / my shadow. out of office until tomorrow
<rneese>
just surprised how many pkgs get installed with just the dde stuff
<rneese>
ahh ok
<igorp_>
desktop needs lots of packages, yeah :)ž
<rneese>
well I managed to get the power/logout/standby/reboot issue fixed
<igorp_>
great
<rneese>
yes and I am woking through it but its looking good
<rneese>
so I figure gove me a week I will have it nailed down then after in the build I will have to look at the armbian-config and work on it to select the desktop
<lanefu>
yeah stay in sync with myy since htey're refactorign desktopp work rihgt now
<rneese>
yeah
<rneese>
but I had to work on getting the pkg list working firts and match what the iso uses and get them in the build correctly
<rneese>
but I am watching it
<igorp_>
i hope we will not run low on build capacity ;)
<rneese>
I want to get it into the script and have a test build done so we can see how it comes out
<igorp_>
myy sais we will need to build several packages from sources
drobo_00 has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
<rneese>
well sofar for the desktop install we dont
<igorp_>
true
<rneese>
it seems all the pkgs are in the amr64 resources
<rneese>
but we do have to add a repo
<igorp_>
this means another desktop will be yet another cache file
<rneese>
once done I want to make a img you can test with and see how you like it
<rneese>
the thing I like it gives you 2 looks in 1
<rneese>
it can look like win10 or look like mac
<rneese>
as I see just like apptle is moving from intll to arm alot of desktops non gaming will most likly do the same and having a img that will work on these boards fo a desktop easy to use will make moving over easier
<rneese>
ok back to editing the list for now
<lanefu>
yeah gonna step away myself
<igorp_>
ok
<igorp_>
if it has to reming on something then i would preffer mac. but its just me
<rneese>
ok
<rneese>

<rneese>
After this operation, 1,982 MB of additional disk space will be used.
<rneese>
thus far
<rneese>
I know it will make the img bigger but to have a working desktop its worth it
<rneese>
ok bbl
<igorp_>
thats around 3Gb in total?
<igorp_>
that's just fine
