LXQt 0.13 in test repo

[Adrian]

I was playing with my MX-LXQt and tried to update LXQt from Test repo, however after installing I cannot log in anymore. I see in /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log a CRITICAL message user_get_uid: assertion 'user != NULL' failed, not sure if that the problem. Anybody else tried these packages, are they supposed to work? If they don't work, can we pull them out of Test?

I just installed the lxqt metapackage from Test, logged out of XFCE4 and logged in to LXQt. I'm posting this from it now.
There is likely a dependency problem which something else I installed earlier handled.

Not sure, I just updated all LXQt stuff that shows an upgrade mark in Test Repo, I will test more. Right now I tried a minimal update using only lxqt and I see with startlxqt:

Code: Select all

lxqt-session: symbol lookup error: lxqt-session: undefined symbol: _ZN4LXQT5PowerC1EbP7QObject

After some experimenting, these libraries need to be updated as well.
liblxqt0
liblxqt-globalkeys0
liblxqt-globalkeys-ui0

I downloaded your respin, upgraded lxqt from Test with MXPI and had the same issue.
Logged into openbox, checked Synaptic (with Test enabled) and found these libs weren't upgraded by MXPI. Upgraded them, problem solved.

Great! Do we need to add them as dependencies to one of the packages?

[timkb4cq]

Well, they are listed in the dependencies - but liblxqt0 is in the deps unversioned, and the other two are listed as >0.8 when apparently it needs to be >=0.13

That worked fine for my new LXQt install from Test since those libs were pulled in from Test as well - but obviously fails as an upgrade so we'll need to adjust them.

[Adrian]

They are easy to miss especially in MX Packageinstaller where we hide libraries. That's why I didn't see them, I assumed whatever libraries are needed would be pulled when I install 0.13 packages (I didn't update from Test)

[Stevo]

That's what's supposed to happen, but obviously dh_shlibs didn't result in a high enough version.

I don't know if one or all of these need fixing:

Code: Select all

$ apt rdepends liblxqt0
liblxqt0

A possible cheat would be to add versioned dependencies to the lxqt metapackage to fix the mistakes...

[Stevo]

This will probably fix the install from the package installer:
