Bug 543380 – lxqt-base/lxqt-common-0.9.1 needs kde-base/oxygen-icons as a dependency

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Guy 2015-03-15 01:28:13 UTC]

Upon installation, the following global lxqt.conf file is written to /etc/xdg/lxqt/

# cat /etc/xdg/lxqt/lxqt.conf 
[General]
theme=frost
icon_theme=oxygen
single_click_activate=false
tool_button_style=ToolButtonTextBesideIcon

[Qt]
font="Sans,11,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0"
doubleClickInterval=400
style=Fusion
wheelScrollLines=3

The upstream project expects the oxygen icons as the fallback default. Otherwise, starting lxqt the first time:

XSESSION=lxqt startx

results in a black screen empty icon boxes.

There are two possible work arounds:

1) emerge -1va kde-base/oxygen-icons

2) USE="admin" emerge lxqt-meta
start lxqt
click on the leftmost box. This is the menu button.
There will be no icons but all the menu entries will have their normal text entries. Find the entry for 'lxqt settings'. This will bring up the settings window. In the 'appearance' app, set the icons and the theme.

Note that the default USE flags do not include 'admin'. This should probably be changed to be default on.

It's a relatively heavy dependency, but I suppose we should add this to the meta.

/usr/bin/lxqt-config-appearance is part of lxqt-base/lxqt-config. So admin is not needed here.

+*lxqt-meta-0.9.0-r2 (15 Mar 2015)
+
+  15 Mar 2015; Ben de Groot <[e-mail]> +lxqt-meta-0.9.0-r2.ebuild,
+  metadata.xml:
+  Add dependencies for oxygen-icons (bug #528676) and virtual/ttf-fonts, as they
+  are expected in the default install.

That should fix it.
