Description:
This is an x86_64 system, initially running lxde. Upon installing the lxqt group (0.9.0) and trying to run it via lxdm (0.5.0) and later manually via startx, it failed. Installing libxkbcommon-x11 (0.5.0-1) fixed my issue, so it appears the dependencies need updated. Error messages from journalctl: /-- This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb". Available platform plugins are: eglfs, kms, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, xcb. --/ Steps to reproduce: See description. Installing libxkbcommon-x11 fixed my issue. |
This task depends upon

$ journalctl |grep xcb

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, kms, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, xcb.

Thanks!
Thus, maybe one of the xcb libraries needs libxkbcommon-x11 added as an optional dependency? Not sure how an optional dependency's optional dependency (but required for certain package combinations) would get handled in Arch packages.
