Bug 787512 – lxqt-base/lxqt-meta-0.17.0 is pulling xterm instead of qterminal

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description mercuriete 2021-05-01 19:56:24 UTC]

lxqt-meta is pulling xterm and it shouldn't be doing it.

IMHO if lxqt-meta should pull a terminal it should pull qterminal instead.


why this is an issue?

i3-sensible-terminal try to fallback to a list of terminals and xterm have more priority than other terminals installed.

workaround: the user have to set $TERMINAL in /etc/environment to force to open a terminal different to xterm

solution:
change this line:
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/lxqt-base/lxqt-meta/lxqt-meta-0.17.0.ebuild#n37

and change it to qterminal


Thanks.


Reproducible: Always

It's following an upstream change [1].

To avoid it, you could install the individual packages you like without using 'lxqt-meta'.
