The only meaningful hit in Google I could find on this subject is a [Ticket back in 2020 with a task to include a profile for LXQT](https://www.cendio.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7340), and the ticket’s still open.

Hello,

I think lxqt should work fine. The ticket is about having a lxqt profile listed in the Profile selection dialog when a user has logged in.

I verified with installing lxqt on Ubuntu Focal fossa (20.04) with

```auto
apt install lxqt

```

then I appended to /opt/thinlinc/etc/conf.d/profiles.hconf:

```auto
[/profiles/lxqt]
xdg_session=LXQT lxqt
name=LXQT Desktop
name[de]=LXQT Desktop
name[es]=Escritorio LXQT
name[it]=Desktop LXQT
name[fr]=Bureau LXQT
name[nl]=LXQT Desktop
name[pt_BR]=Desktop LXQT
name[ru]=Рабочий стол LXQT
name[sv]=LXQT-skrivbord
name[tr]=LXQT Masaüstü

```

Please note that the description text above is not correct, it’s the from lxde.

also added lxqt to the order= at the top of profiles.hconf, like so:

```auto
order=lxqt unity ubuntu gnome gnome-classic kde xfce cinnamon mate lxde

```

Hi Martin,

Thanks a lot for the detailed reply. I’m going to try it 'cause I really hate Ubuntu’s  
default Gnome desktop 😃

I followed your steps and I verified I can login to the server with LXQT. 😀

I had to use the client installed in the server machine and connect via `localhost` because I’m having the `Connection to server 192.168.0.1 timed out` error message when connecting to the server from other machines, but I guess I’ll leave that for other Topic question.

Glad to hear that you’re able to use LXQT aswell!

Yeah, go ahead and create new topic for new issue, sounds good 🙂
