So when I first installed CachyOS.
I like some others, had random issue where it simply didn’t work.
I simply tried again, re-did partitions etc, and it worked.
Then I played around a bit, didn’t like KDE, I tried LXQT through installing with KDE. This did not work.
I decided okay, I will reinstall CachyOS and use LXQT. I tried a few times, gave up and switched back to XFCE.
Now installing LXQT alongside XFCE. It does “work” but initially was problematic, didn’t have the right dependencies installed, so I did that.
Now even after doing several things suggested elsewhere and on the most recent LXQT issue on these forums which iirc is about 15days old.
QT5 settings and QT6 settings tell me The QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME environment variable is not set correctly (current value: lxqt, required values: qt5ct or qt6ct).
I tried
To reinstall packages using:
I tried
To add the env variable with:
export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="qt5ct"
into
“qt5.conf” override file at: /etc/environment.d/qt5.conf
I tried:
The qt5ct-kde package in paru is the same as what is linked there.
I also tried to Add line ‘export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct’ to ~/.profile and re-login.
Alternatively, create the file /etc/X11/Xsession.d/100-qt5ct with
the following line:
export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct
Not using wayland. Didn’t add export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland initially.
Now trying with that added to all the 300 paths above which do not seem to do anything.
Logging into XFCE this issue doesn’t seem to be a thing when running qt5 or qt6 configuration tools.
Is LXQT just not for CachyOS? I feel like if it isn’t KDE or XFCE it doesn’t want to play with Cachy.
