 Posted: Wed Sep 18, 2024 10:56 am Post subject: [Solved] Does lxqt need kde-packages? |
 |
|
Hi forum members!
On my system I run lxqt on x11-wm/openbox.
Recently I had to change the profile from default/linux/amd64/23.0/split-usr to default/linux/amd64/23.0/split-usr/desktop. (https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1170861-start-0.html)
And during the emerge run a lot of kde packages were pulled in.
Now I wonder whether I really do need all these packages.
The "old" stuff:
| Code: | 2021-03-17T09:17:47 >>> kde-frameworks/extra-cmake-modules
2021-03-17T09:29:25 >>> kde-frameworks/kcoreaddons
2021-03-17T09:29:18 >>> kde-frameworks/kf-env
2021-03-17T09:42:29 >>> kde-frameworks/kwindowsystem
2021-03-17T10:11:04 >>> kde-frameworks/solid
2021-03-17T10:23:10 >>> kde-plasma/libkscreen
2023-02-06T00:50:30 >>> kde-frameworks/kconfig
|
The new packages:
| Code: | 2024-09-17T08:02:44 >>> kde-apps/kio-extras
2024-09-17T06:58:20 >>> kde-apps/libkexiv2

Maybe one can --depclean some of these?
Thanks for your recommendation.

Try playing with these USE flags to see if you can get some bloat to go away
| Code: |
[ebuild N ] lxqt-base/lxqt-meta-2.0.0::gentoo USE="about archiver desktop-portal display-manager filemanager lximage nls policykit processviewer screenshot sddm sudo terminal trash window-manager -admin -powermanagement -ssh-askpass" 0 KiB
and
[ebuild N ] lxqt-base/lxqt-panel-2.0.1::gentoo USE="alsa desktopswitch directorymenu kbindicator mainmenu mount pulseaudio quicklaunch showdesktop spacer statusnotifier taskbar volume worldclock -colorpicker -cpuload -dom -lm-sensors -networkmonitor -sysstat -tray" 648 KiB
|
Anyway the "qt" in lxqt is what is pulling all these packages.
It seems lxqt is a mini kde.
Try using binary packages or move to another DE.

| Why the hate? These are general Qt extending libraries, no one needs to reinvent the wheel. And kwin is a superb window manager. You can still deselect it in lxqt-meta, as far as I know. |

Indeed, can still use LXQt with 'x11-wm/openbox' or any other Window Manager of choice, it is just that I switched the meta default to 'kde-plasma/kwin' for 2.0.0 as it is what I use myself and therefore test the most while packaging LXQt, and it is what some of the LXQt developers use, and may even recommend, while they do not recommend 'x11-wm/openbox' any longer due to its dormant state of being.
So, if using a Window Manager that is not KWin is preferred, emerge 'lxqt-meta' with USE="-window-manager".
The only actual KDE dependencies that I remember without looking is 'kde-frameworks/kwindowsystem' and whatever that brings with it, which is not much.

Sorry! I definitely didn't want to provoke some offense.
My intention was simply to stick with my old configuration. A habit which one could also call my laziness.
The way of emerge 'lxqt-meta' with USE="-window-manager" led to the removal of almost hundred packages.
So, why not follow the principle KISS? |

| It is just as Chiitoo said, do you need more explanation? |
