# lxqt-wayland-session(1)

Wayland session for LXQt

## NAME

**lxqt-wayland-session** - Wayland session for **LXQt**\

## DESCRIPTION

This module provides the files needed for the Wayland session of the **LXQt** desktop environment and enables the Wayland settings page in **lxqt-config-session**.

## FILES

**startlxqtwayland**: Script which starts the compositor and sets the keyboard layout.

**lxqt-qdbus**: Wrapper script for qdbus commands in keybindings. See **lxqt-qdbus --help**.

Desktop entry file stating **startlxqtwayland** as binary needed to start LXQt Wayland sessions. Sourced e. g. by display managers.

Basic configuration files for supported compositors where needed: Hyprland, kwin\_wayland, labwc, niri, river, sway, wayfire.

## UNSUPPORTED COMPOSITORS

Any compositor can be launched by **startlxqtwayland** but for starting and exiting the LXQt session a line **lxqt-session && \<exit\_compositor\_command\>** has to be added to its autostart configuration.

## NOTES

Some lxqt-configuration tools currently do not support Wayland and those settings have to be configured in the compositor's configuration:

\* lxqt-globalkeys

\* lxqt-config-monitor (though kwin\_wayland is mostly supported)

\* lxqt-config-input

Limitations in lxqt-panel:

\* Workspace support in lxqt-panel's taskbar plugin is supported only in kwin\_wayland and Wayfire.

\* Workspace switcher is supported in kwin\_wayland, Wayfire and in compositors which support the ext-workspace-v1 protocol like niri and labwc.

\* kbindicator and qeyes plugin are currently not supported under Wayland.
