Description Brandon Bigam 2024-06-10 13:47:29 UTC

LXQt 2.0.0 using qt6 is in Tumbleweed now, but a few libraries are recommended by upstream to have co-installable qt5 and qt6 versions for integration. These include lxqt-build-tools, lxqt-qtplugin, libfm-qt, and libqtxdg.

The qt5 versions of lxqt-qtplugin and libfm-qt are missing and not installable in Tumbleweed. These are the 1.4.x versions of these libraries. See the release notes here: https://lxqt-project.org/release/2024/04/15/release-lxqt-2-0-0/ section "Note for Distros."

Result: qt5 apps running within LXQt 2.0.0 on Tumbleweed are not integrated with theming and the LXQt file dialog.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install and run LXQt 2.0.x on Tumbleweed
2. Set Appearance settings according to your preferences, and check the results in any qt6 app
3. Install and open any qt5 app, such as VLC

Actual results:
qt5 apps do not follow any theme settings set by the LXQt appearance settings, regarding qt widget style, fonts, etc. qt6 apps do follow theming.
qt5 apps use the fallback qt file dialog, while qt6 apps use LXQt file dialog.

Expected results:
qt5 apps follow the same style and font settings as qt6 apps, as set in Appearance settings. 
qt5 and qt6 apps all use the LXQt file dialog.

openSUSE Tumbleweed 2024 early June release (I found the problem Monday, June 2, at the then-current release, when LXQt 2.0 first landed in Tumbleweed) on Asus Vivobook M513I

First bug report here, please be gentle if I've missed something essential.

This is quite true.   I've just been buried in family stuff the last few months, and that doesn't look to be getting any better.   SR's will certainly be welcome to fix this, if I can't get to it.

Comment 2 Brandon Bigam 2024-06-10 16:56:00 UTC

I wouldn't know how to prepare or build this, but I'd test binaries from a staging repo. (I'm currently using qps from the X11:lxqt repo, and it works just fine.)

Sorry to hear about the family matters.

Comment 3 Shawn Dunn 2024-06-10 21:29:44 UTC

Starting the work on this, just pushed the Qt5 version of lxqt-build-tools to X11:LXQt

Comment 4 Shawn Dunn 2024-06-11 01:30:42 UTC

Ok, you should be able to install:

libfm-qt5
lxqt-qt5plugin

From X11:LXQt shortly, please test them, and let me know if they work or not.

If you don't already have it (and you should, at least it's there in the fresh install I did in a VM to test with), you probably also need:

libqt5xdg

Comment 5 Brandon Bigam 2024-06-11 01:57:32 UTC

Hey, that was fast! Good work!

Yes, I can confirm I have the co-installed libs in a working LXQt 2.0.0 setup on Tumbleweed with the X11:LXQt repo. I can confirm that theming and the LXQt file dialog are working equally in qt5 and qt6 apps now.

As far as I'm concerned, this is solved as soon as it hits a snapshot.

Related suggestion: I think that these two libs should probably be added to the lxqt pattern. Otherwise, they won't be installed by default, and many users won't know why qt5 apps don't follow user theming. Yes, libqt5xdg was automatically pulled in.

Thanks!

Comment 6 Shawn Dunn 2024-06-11 04:41:55 UTC

Yeah, I'll get them added to to the pattern and push that along with the packages to :Factory in the morning.

SR's submitted to :Factory
