Description papoteur 2022-11-16 13:51:14 CET 
Description of problem:
When trying to configure autologin from MCC, the list of sessions doesn't include LXQT one

The list is obtained from the command:
/usr/sbin/chksession -l

This command returns in my Mageia 8:
LXQtDesktop Plasma IceWMSession IceWM Openbox
but 
 Plasma(X11) IceWMSession IceWM Openbox
in cauldron.

The command is said to look in /usr/share/xsessions. In both cases, there is a lxqt.desktop file. The main difference I see between them is that the cauldron ones includes:

DesktopNames=LXQt

MCC auto-login screen showing absence of [installed] LxQt in desktop list

Thank you for the report, which, having LxQt, I confirm. chksession does not show LxQt:
 $ sudo /usr/sbin/chksession -l
 Plasma(X11) Cinnamon Cinnamon(SoftwareRendering) GNOMEClassiconXorg GNOMEClassic GNOMEonXorg GNOME IceWMSession IceWM LXDE MATE Openbox XfceSession

and the attached screenshot from the MCC auto-login screen reflects this (Plasma rolled off top).

 $ ls /usr/share/xsessions
01plasma.desktop            gnome.desktop          lxqt.desktop   ***
cinnamon2d.desktop          gnome-xorg.desktop     mate.desktop
cinnamon.desktop            icewm.desktop          openbox.desktop
gnome-classic.desktop       icewm-session.desktop  xfce.desktop
gnome-classic-xorg.desktop  LXDE.desktop

 $ head /usr/share/xsessions/lxqt.desktop 
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=startlxqt
TryExec=lxqt-session
DesktopNames=LXQt

Name=LXQt Desktop
Comment=Lightweight Qt Desktop

I wonder whether the blank line matters. Looking at many of the other desktop files, none had a blank line.

[Plasma was not rolled off!]

Yes Lewis, good assumption.
I will push a fix for that.

Hello,
It should be fixed with lxqt-session-1.2.0-2.mga9
Lewis, can you confirm and close the report in this case?
Comment 5 papoteur 2022-11-23 18:13:41 CET 
I consider it as solved. Reopen if not.
