startlxqtwayland - script to initialize and launch LXQt Wayland sessions

startlxqtwayland

startlxqtwayland is a shell script meant to initialize and launch LXQt Wayland sessions.

Its main tasks are exporting environment variables, partly after performing corresponding checks, and launching the configured compositor which will launch lxqt-session, the LXQt session manager. It copies the basic configuration file(s) to $XDG_CONFIG_USER for the compositor configured in lxqt-config-session if not present and tries to set the keyboard layout accordingly to $LANG.

It can be run directly from tty but rather it is invoked by display managers like SDDM or LightDM.

Display managers are making use of scripts like startlxqtwayland automatically. Information about available desktop environments is provided by files $XDG_DATA_DIRS/wayland-sessions/*.desktop, typically /usr/share/wayland-sessions/*.desktop.
