Hi all, :)
Following a suggestion of Excalibur ( ;) I search a list of the best (light, seaxiest, stable, not kdebase-dependent, ...) applications to integrate in lxqt (but not only).
A list of some possibilities is available HERE (https://github.com/Razor-qt/razor-qt/wiki/3rd-party-applications).
-
Not using LXDE-QT. But looking at the list, I'll go for clementine, vlc and transmission-qt. They are the most used applications on my system. :)
Hotot-qt was a good old memory though, until it stopped working.
-
Thanks. Vlc is Qt based ? (I'm not very happy with smplayer)
-
mpv
not really keen on any of the media players there
flacon and qtractor definitely, lmms is pretty good
qbittorrent
Calibre
That's about all I've used from that list.
-
Thanks. Vlc is Qt based ? (I'm not very happy with smplayer)
Yeah. Just do a pacman -Si vlc and see what it depends on. And it is in the list you wrote in the OP. ;)
Not even a video player can get me back like vlc does. Now I don't even try the others. ;D
-
mpv is nice, also if not especially Qt. :)
I would be interested on how do have increase/decrease volume on Up and Down. (0 and 9 are unusable on an Azerty keyboard).
-
@ crazyg4mertz : OK, a very good candidate. :) With mpv, but why not both ?
The list of the OP is only an example, absolutely not something to follow.
-
these are my favorite qt based web browsers (they are not kde based, so you do not need to install kdebase):
- qupzilla
- qtweb (AUR): is a lightweight browser, but it does not have any extensions and it lacks java support.
- otter-browser (AUR): otter-browser is still in early development (the beta 1 was just released - it wants to rebuild the opera 12 experience in qt5).
google chrome is NOT gtk based anymore. it uses its own toolkit called aura: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Google-Chrome-35-Officially-Released-Linux-Version-Ditches-GTK-for-Aura-443108.shtml
when i look at the dependencies of chromium, i still see gtk2. this is strange.
vlc is definitely the best media player. it is NOT dependent on gtk or kde - it just depends on qt4
-
i have found two qt based file arching programs (they are not based on kde):
- peazip (AUR - it installs one orphaned package)
- b1-free-archiver (AUR - it reads a lot of formats, but can only create .zip and .b1 files)
this eliminates the need for 7-zip.
-
Thanks. Vlc is Qt based ? (I'm not very happy with smplayer)
I think it is. the only ones i am really missing is a browser, something like chromium or firefox would be convenient to have in QT. Also a really cool office suite in qt would be dream
my favourites are
minitube, clementine-qt, qsopcast, kate, kopete and quassel. Those are software I use daily.
-
-screengrab(AUR) Been using it for screenshots since I tried Esclapion's LXQT alpha.
-pkgbrowser Must have for me. Makes browsing the repos a little easier and gives a lot information on packages. Depends, installed files and their location, etc...
Anyone know of any non-KDE QT paint/image editing programs?
-
Anyone know of any non-KDE QT paint/image editing programs?
- easypaint-git (AUR)
- pencil (AUR - but it depends on firefox (which depends on gtk2) - this is really strange)
these were also in the link provided by esclapion: https://github.com/Razor-qt/razor-qt/wiki/3rd-party-applications
these are qt and kde based programs i have found. so these are useless for us:
- kolourpaint
- krita
- digikam
-
Also a really cool office suite in qt would be dream
i found an alternative to libreoffice writer:
- focuswriter (AUR)
- abiword (i have not seen any kde, gtk, or qt dependence in there - please take a closer look yourself)
if you like it simple, try
- juffed
- tea
-
- easypaint-git (AUR)
- pencil (AUR - but it depends on firefox (which depends on gtk2) - this is really strange)
I'll look at easypaint but at first glance it looks like it might be a little too basic. Pencil looks like it is for designing GUI's.
-
One browser I think needs more attention is qutebrowser.. it's still in alpha stages, but it's nice to know theres another alternative on the horizon
-
I like Sayonara music player
Sayonara is a small, clear and fast audio player for Linux written in C++, supported by the Qt framework. It uses Gstreamer as audio backend.
QTbrowser used to be a very lightweight Portable browser for Windows but is is also for Linux...though I have never needed to try it on linux..it seems to have a download for debian RPMs and Bsd...etc just not Arch.
-
How about Calligra? As an alternative for Libreoffice ?
http://www.calligra-suite.org/ (http://www.calligra-suite.org/)
I haven't tried but it seems fully-featured.
-
Took a look at Easypaint and it is too basic for what I need.
How about Calligra? As an alternative for Libreoffice ?
KDE:(
-
For screengrab, we have now in lxqt an embedded tool who does almost the same. But I leave it in repolxqt.
-
pdf viewer
currently, there is xpdf, very light (9,89 MB), installed. But it's not really qt.
I found 2 pdf reader :
1) pdfviewer (AUR) : Qt4, 13 votes, last maintained 2013-03-26, 0,87MB installed size, 5,40MB when removing
depends on : poppler, poppler-qt4
2) qpdfview (AUR) : Qt5, 90 votes, last maintained 2014-05-04, 2,3 MB installed size, 7,22 when removing
depends on : poppler, poller-qt5, qt5-svg
Thoughts ?
-
xpdf (the default pdf viewer right now) looks ugly and is not qt based. definitely get rid of it.
i have tested both. both are much better than xpdf.
pdfveiwer has a simpler interface.
imho, qpdfview is faster and has a lot more settings. i definitely prefer it.
-
My favorite are Qbittorrent (you can't find better bittorrent client, trust me ;) ) and VLC (best video player ever).

mpv
A very good light player, thanks. May be installed in conjunction with vlc ?
What about mpv vs cmplayer ? Are they the same (cmplayer calling mpv) ?
-
Qbittorrent and vlc , which poker and mandog mentioned +1
-
OK, I think they emerge. Maybe mpv also.
-
What about mpv vs cmplayer ? Are they the same (cmplayer calling mpv) ?
I believe cmplayer is just a gui frontend for mpv, so essentially the same thing. Makes it more like vlc rather than like mplayer.
-
OK, thanks. It's what I think too. So it's a concurrent of VLC. But mpv alone is so leight...
-
But mpv alone is so leight...
Indeed, it's all I use and have need for, works great and is easy to basic stuff with the display bar.
-
For my personal use, I think I will use mpv. But vlc/cmplayer can do more complicate things.
-
I think mpv is probably the best media player available right now and paired with cmplayer, it covers virtually all the bases.
-
If we use cmplayer, we dont have mpv.
-
If we use cmplayer, we dont have mpv.
Apologies, I don't understand?
-
I think that cmplayer includes a mpv-like, but we can't call that alone.Or we install also mpv, but we have two applications with the same functionnalities. So, it's or cmplayer, big and concurrent of vlc, or mpv.
-
As far as I know mpv is a dependency for cmplayer. However, I've not tried installing cmplayer, without having installed mpv (git version) so maybe it pulls mpv as part of its installation when installed in isolation?
-
I'm confused, the aur page doesn't list mpv as a dependency but the github page does (http://cmplayer.github.io).
-
I was taking my information from git too. However, pacman -Qi also doesn't mention mpv. Curious...
-
I will have a look on it tomorrow. It's s project of Artoo.
I dont know exactly what it is.
-
i have found two qt based file arching programs (they are not based on kde):
- peazip (AUR - it installs one orphaned package)
- b1-free-archiver (AUR - it reads a lot of formats, but can only create .zip and .b1 files)
this eliminates the need for 7-zip.
Would be fine if it's integrated to PCManFM-Qt instead of the GTK ones.

He goal is to have no more Gtk. All in Qt.

Thoughts ?
qpdfview is very fine; have been using it for quite some time. Can be integrated with LyX as well. Surprised to find that it's not the installed and default PDF viewer in the ISO.
-
He goal is to have no more Gtk. All in Qt.
i have heard the same thing.
sooner or later, there will be a lot of qt-only applications (not dependent on kde.
within a year (or two) we will see one big and popular DE switching to qt-only: unity 8.
it is confirmed that unity 8 (together with mir) will be the default DE in ubuntu 16.04.
-
Cmplayer have built-in mpv. The developer explains somewhere (possibly in github issues) why it has to be so for the time being. MPV has gapless audio playback, but it (and cmplayer) have no library/playlist capability like Vlc (see screenshot of my Vlc).
-
I think to a tandem mpv + vlc. Two in the same ISO can seem too much, but for me it's not the same goal.
mpv is incredibly light.
-
QtCreator can be used as an excellent and lightweight all-in-one utility (text editor, markdown editor/converter, note taker and to-do list/phone/address book manager). See here for a how to: https://forum.manjaro.org/index.php?topic=14360.0
-
Since not yet mentioned: goldendict (the best dictionary app), luckybackup (the best backup tool), makemkv (not opensource but free, best DVD/Bluray to MKV convertion tool), Cantata + MPD (the best audio player), LyX (the best document procssor), colord-fake (for printing packages without GTK cruft). gbscan (depending on gambas libraries other than Qt), flirc (remote app), convertall, copyq, xgrabcolor.
-
qtcurve, supports both Qt4 and Qt5 and the developer mentions in github his willingness to create a Qt-only config utility for it which will be the only means to customise the appearance in a Qt-only system.
-
ssx (instead of gksu) as su/sudo frontend, though not a Qt utility, doesn't depend on GTK either freeing me from another GTK cruft. Yet Octopi can't be used with it, you can use pacmanxg instead of octopi.
-
udevil for mounting work, eliminating the need for gvfs (though another and easy alternative may be easymount – http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/easymount?content=157956).
-
wow. this thread keeps getting better and better...
keep it coming.
i am trying to use manjaro kde exclusively at least for the next few weeks. i just wanted to try a qt based DE and lxqt is still missing a couple of imho essential features.
-
Well, not an app, but a new functionality: To add custom actions to pcmanfm-qt see http://madebits.com/blog/comments.php?y=14&m=03&entry=entry140317-141947.

Hmmmm, thanks, really interesting if it works with the -qt. :D
-
Yes, it works, tried and tested. Mines are below (change apps and icons as you like). Put them in /home/YOUR_USERNAME/.local/share/file-manager/actions.
-
OK, I will try, thanks.
-
Hi,
No alternative for gparted ? partitionmanager depends on kdebase, and qtparted is orphan and doesn't work... :(
-
peazip doesnt work well also. And orphan. ???
-
Mmm, I like vlc and smplayer as video palyers, clementine as audio player, qupzilla as web browser, acetoneiso as .iso burner.
But, what about for the text editor, the office suite and the image editor, without kde dependences? Do you have any ideas?
-
text-editor is juffed (recommended and done by the team). Same way, image viewer : lximage-qt
For office, I have nothing. libreoffice-installer, and maybe writer already installed ? ::)
-
Same way, image viewer : lximage-qt
What about the image editor (like GIMP)?
I'm surfing on http://qt-apps.org (http://qt-apps.org) right now, searching some good stuff, but I haven't find image modification programs as good as GIMP or Krita :(
-
I have one, I think, done by Leclanché, one of the lxqt devs : easypaint-git (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/easypaint-git/).
Absolutely not at the level of Gimp, but very light.
-
I tried also this aftternoon peazip-qt, to replace file-roller, but 28 MB against 3 MB, and a lot less user-friendly and stable.

You may want to take a look at this if you haven't already. The source is 11mb+. Not too big, not so small? Looks nice, though. Cross platform. No dependencies. Updated by the maintainer in February of this year. There are more screenshots and a video of the app in action (windows) here: http://b1.org
B1 Free Archiver works with most popular archive formats. It's a single utility for almost all archives you will ever need. Although there are a lot of functions and features, B1 stays extremely simple to use and never bothers you with unnecessary stuff. It takes just a few clicks to extract files or to create new archive.
Most popular formats
zip, rar, 7z, b1 and more coming soon...

Hmmm, thanks a lot. Bigger than file-roller, but I wish removing gtk. ;D
Looks good. I tried it under my xfce, and if it it works well in my target lxqt, adopted !
(edit)
What's funny is that the executable is named b1manager (ps -ax to see it).
Why b1 ? ;)

B1 is also the extension for their own compressed file type that incorporates the LZMA compression algorithm.

Ah, OK, thx. I must think to that, but I have a lot of things together. ;)
-
uninstall b1 and reinstalled with that fix ah ok
-
uninstall b1 and reinstalled with that fix ah ok
Yes, but it also requires that I integrate my buildiso. I'm not going to do it manually each time. ;)
-
na easy just do "yaourt -Sb --export ~/build_dir b1-free-archiver" and edit the pkgbuild directly and it will build both the b1-free-archiver package and libudev.so.0 package then put in your local repo and add to the build package list
-
I do something as this, but I have a loop on the modified packages, and I keep them. Dont' forget that it's to do in 32 and 64 bits.
With too much manually operations, I'm almost sure I will forget some.
Btw, must I keep the 3.12 LTS or take the 3.14.8 ? Maybe a question for PhilM... ::)
-
Im sure you can use 3.14 , 3.12 is the 3 main editions and all community editions are free to use whatever kernel i believe

qCheckGmail (https://github.com/mhogomchungu/qCheckGMail (https://github.com/mhogomchungu/qCheckGMail)). There's a KDE version in AUR though it can be compiled as Qt-only (or even as a Lxpt panel plugin) too.
I use the fine old qgmailnotifier (http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/?content=85979 (http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/?content=85979)). Though not updated since 2008 its only glitch is a smaller icon.
-
qcheckgmail depends on kdebase-runtime... :-\

Yes, the AUR version, but if you go to the github link you can read how to compile as Qt-only or Lxqt panela plugin.
-
I did it, but :

In all cases, at the begin, he says :
To build make sure you have the following packages installed(packages may be named differently in your distribution):

It's the 2nd time I have problems with this site (mhogomchungu). The 1st was yesterday with lxqt-wallet.
-
Yes, sorry, I haven't compiled it either, though I had some time ago.
-
Clementine changed for Cantata + mpd.
qupzilla-git changed for qupzilla-qt5-git
(http://zupimages.net/up/14/26/qugf.png)
- a lot lighter
- as much possibilities or more
- Qt5
Both can read .flac without problem.
-
Very wise decision, bravo! (Just before I've ranted in the audio player thread!)
-
Is there support for .cue sheets in mpd/cantata?
Edit: It appears there is.
-
I'm playing with LXQT again, pure QT build and found replacement for nitrogen for drawing wallpaper.
sudo pacman -S hsetroot
After that we have to add it to autostart: preferences/session settings/autostart/add
Name: Background (you can name it how you like)
Command: hsetroot -fill /path to your wallpaper (ie. hsetroot -fill /home/bojan/Pictures/stairs.jpg)
Cheers!

Thanks. Didn't know that one.

Hi all,
Interesting, a lot of things, this morning: :D
How I can play html5 in qupzilla?
qupzilla supports html5 without doing anything. Please go HERE (http://html5test.com/) to verify.
(edit)
Flash works also, I verified.

Thanks. I never used nitrogen. ??? But what's exactly the goal ? To change of wallpaper, you can do a right click on the desktop ?
-
@Esclapion
Well, qupzilla passed test so is qtweb, but they wont play any video from youtube, always getting error :/
I will try with some gst plugins if they help.
When right click on desktop I get openbox (haven't configure it yet)
Cheers!

Have you got libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/qupzilla? If not, download flash, extract libflashplayer.so and put it there. That may help.
-
Hmmm, I tried flash games,not videos. My bad. Some videos works good.
I must study that. ::)
-
Have you got libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/qupzilla? If not, download flash, extract libflashplayer.so and put it there. That may help.
No, I haven't. Will try, thanks.
(edit)
Always the same error after put. I have the flashplugin installed, and I have a libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins.
-
And that way you'll have flash without the GTK dependency.
-
What I dont understand is why the flash games work.
-
But it works ?
Try IT (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2ynYHbu0pI&feature=kp).
(edit)
Some work, some others not. html5 ?
-
It won't work for me either after putting libflashplayer.so into /usr/lib/qupzilla, qst-plugins are no go either. I don't know if pepper-flash could be configured to work with qupzilla.
Cheers!
It won't play that either :/
EDIT:
Bah, I give up, will try your next LXQT build when it is done. Perhaps I did something wrong in mine :D
Cheers!

You may need some gst or gstreamer plugins.
pepper-flash could not be configured to work with qupzilla as the developer mentions in github because of qtwebkit, though qupzilla-webengine-git (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qupzilla-webengine-git/) or qt5-webengine-git (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qt5-webengine-git/) may.
-
Qupzilla uses flash click-to-play by default. Check /Preferences/Extensions/WebKit Plugins/Allow Click to Flash.
I have youtube and other similar sites working with out the need to add anything. Flash seems to be installed by default.

@Salinko
Yes, I know but this is my custom lxqt buld without gtk at all, so flashplugin is not installed. I was trying to mess around with libflashplugin.so from adobe but with no luck, anyway I will stick to my openbox for a while.
Cheers!
-
Hmmm, in mine, flashplugin is installed.
-
Yes, as Salinko said, disable "Allow Click to Flash". It's known (in github issues) to have trouble with flash.
-
Esclapion, no. As he said see /Preferences/Extensions/WebKit Plugins/Allow Click to Flash or see the below screenshot.
-
Hi,
None, just need gtk2... (it's a joke) ;)
-
Yes, we can see that here :

Hmmm, OK. Half awake. Thanks to both. :) I will try to pre-configure it.
I only must find a video who not worked, to be sure of the change ;D
-
It is disabled, and flashplugin requires gtk2 so I don't want to install it. Anyway thanks for replies, I will try it again in few months, or will waiting for new Esclapions build.
Cheers!

Flashplugin requires gtk2 if you install it, but if you just download adobe flash package and extract libflashplayer.so and put it in usr/lib/qupzilla you're done without any gtk.
-
Yep, but it's difficult to absolutely suppress gtk, 2 AND 3.
For example, to suppress gtk3, we must suppress gnome-keyring and network-manager. lxqt-kwallet and qconnman seem not be ready.

I have everything here, every functionality and no GTK (2 or 3). Well, I just have network-manager but not its applet (so no gtk) and don't need gnome-keyring or lxqt-kwallet.

As I said, extracting libflashplugin.so to qupzilla didn't help

No harm is done :) I appreciate your help

Did you try to put it in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins ? ;)

I've got it there as well. So maybe that's why it seems to work here.
-
Yes I have tried that too, but no go, will mess around tomorrow to see if I can manage something out.
Cheers!
-
Egavas, would you mind giving the link to the troubled flash content?
-
Sure http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J51LPlP-s9o
In my openbox build without flashplugin installed and no libflashplayer.so it works just fine in firefox, but in virtualbox where I have built LXQT it won't work
-
Hmmm, it works here. I'll shut up for now. By the way(!), I've got qupzilla-qt5 from AUR.
-
I will try it, I'm using qt4 version form manjaro repos
-
I've got the below gstreamers. Other than those one can install from AUR these (though I haven't):
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gst-plugin-libde265-git/
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gstreamer0.10-good-plugins-slim/

I use now also qupzilla-qt5-git
-
Heh, problem solved guys, just instaled qt5 version and it works, rofl
Big thanks for trouble! I might even do real install now to replace openbox!

Not a Qt app, but doesn't depend on gtk either: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gphotofs/ (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gphotofs/)
udevil can eliminate the need for gvfs for mounting work, but I don't know how or if it hanles cameras. gphotofs handles them with minimum configuration. See its github page and Arch wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Digital_Cameras#GPhoto2_usage (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Digital_Cameras#GPhoto2_usage).
After the configuration you just need to assign two keyboard shortcuts to mounting and unmounting commands.
EDIT: Or those commands can be integrated to pcmanfm-qt.
-
Interesting, if it dont need gtk, thx.

You mean flashplugin ? I try to integrate that now.
-
You mean flashplugin ? I try to integrate that now.
Yes, if you install flashplugin from the repo it installs some dependencies, but if you just download the package and unarchive it and put the libflashplayer.so (which is really the thing doing the work) in relevant places (/usr/lib/qupzilla and maybe /usr/lib/mozilla) you're done without any gtk. One just needs to repeat this whenever libflashplayer.so (the adobe flash package) is updated.

- i have remembered this post:
ssx (instead of gksu) as su/sudo frontend, though not a Qt utility, doesn't depend on GTK either freeing me from another GTK cruft. Yet Octopi can't be used with it, you can use pacmanxg instead of octopi.
but i am not sure, whether it is a good idea to kick out octopi...
- i am pretty sure that lxappearance is just a system setting to change the theme/icon. if other system setting tools can do the same job, you can get rid of it.
- you have still exo installed. it is required by xfburn. i think you can safely remove it.
- libxfce4ui is required by exo. if you do not need exo you do not need this package anymore.
- gtkhotkey and libunique are required by synapse.
- gtkmm is not needed by any programm (at least in your current public lxqt image). i do not know, why it is installed.
- libglade is required by pygtk. pygtk is required by python2-notify and pywebkitgtk. python2-notify is not required by any program. pywebkitgtk is required by manjaro-welcome.
- vte is required by lxterminal. you can probably remove it without any problem.
so, manjaro-welcome and octopi are dependent on gtk2. thus, synapse, libreoffice-installer, and gparted are also dependent on gtk2. i do not recommend to release lxqt without these great (mostly) manjaro tools.
what is your opinion about that?
-
:)
A lot of things, thx.
1) lxappearance is the only way to change the openbox theme. I dont know alternative
2) exo is bad, but what else than xfburn ? I searcher another burning program, and none. Maybe a new topic for that
3)
(http://zupimages.net/up/14/26/1px4.png)
4) synapse is interesting, I think
5) gtkmm required by gparted. What else ?
6) I suppressed manjaro-welcome, but I always have that : to study
7) I dont know exactly why I must have lxterminal. Somewhere, it's maybe bound to octopi.
-
It doesnt disturb me to have some gtk2 or gtk3 tools. But each time I can replace one by an equivalent, I do that.
Sure, Octopi is good. Manajro-welcome also, I had it in the preceeding release. But it does the boot slower and for a desktop whose one of the main qualities is the lightness, I hesitate.
-
It doesnt disturb me to have some gtk2 or gtk3 tools. But each time I can replace one by an equivalent, I do that.
i agree. as long as there is no alternative, keep using the gtk2 dependent package.
octopi, synapse, manjaro-welcome, thus, libreoffice-installer, and gparted are all dependent on gtk2. therefore, you should keep gtk2 until you find equivalent alternatives.
but you can get rid of gtk3. gtk3 is more modern and bigger (and it introduces incompatibilities with each release, but that is another topic). lxqt becomes lighter when you do not have any gtk3 dependencies anymore.
i am not sure, but i think you already have eliminated gtk3 from your lxqt release. is this true?
(your latest public release image of lxqt is NOT independent of gtk3)
-
1) lxappearance is the only way to change the openbox theme. I dont know alternative
ok. then, i think it is important. keep it until it is possible to change the openbox theme within another lxqt settings window.
2) exo is bad, but what else than xfburn ? I searcher another burning program, and none. Maybe a new topic for that
3)
(http://zupimages.net/up/14/26/1px4.png)
sorry, i was not aware that lxqt still uses xfburn. i am not sure, but i think we have already search for a qt only CD/DVD burnining utility without success. maybe it would help to start a new thread about it, because threads are easier to find (just in case in the future somebody finds that topic and knows a good qt only CD/DVD burning utility).
4) synapse is interesting, I think
5) gtkmm required by gparted. What else ?
6) I suppressed manjaro-welcome, but I always have that : to study
synapse, gaprted, and manjaro-welcome are important programs and simply the best available programs. please do not remove them. if this means we have to keep gtk2, then please keep gtk2.
7) I dont know exactly why I must have lxterminal. Somewhere, it's maybe bound to octopi.
vte and lxterminal are dependent packages. i have removed lxterminal from the current lxqt release and octopi keeps working. octopi uses qterminal. i think you can safely remove lxterminal (and vte).

Not completely ;

it is good to know that you are pretty close to removing gtk3 completely from lxqt. it sounds like lxqt-wallet and a qconnman will be part of the stable release of lxqt. we just have to wait...

Suppressing webkit? /usr/bin/manjaro-welcome (python) calls WebKit.WebView to display /usr/share/manjaro-welcome/index.html Just curious. Is that a problem?
-
Hi :)
The main problem is that a gtk and that for the moment I dont use manjaro-welcome.
Another is here :
Taille du téléchargement : 23435,73 KiB
Taille installé : 117929,00 KiB
117 MB for nothing else than a welcome at boot ? ::)
-
mmm...
You could still have Manjaro Welcome without the overhead by including the directory /usr/share/manjaro-welcome (only 447.8kb). Could you not simply add a desktop launcher called "Manjaro Welcome" to start qupzilla and load with /usr/share/manjaro-welcome/index.html? It's basically a simple single HTML page that could even be edited if necessary to remove the items that start the installers if you have desktop launchers for them or unless the links work properly in qupzilla, of course. MAny of the links are to external URLs and are of the form "cmd://link?http://forum.manjaro.org". These could be rewritten, dropping 'cmd://link?' and tagged so they open the link in new tab.
-
Hmm, yes, it can be an idea, thx. For the moment, qupzilla opens http://manjaro.org/ as start page by default.
-
Not a qt app but, I just installed it and was pleased with first use. Seems I had all dependencies but two already installed (no undesirables required, it seems) . So, build and install went quick. Program itself is small, loads quickly with a pleasing interface, and is easy to use. Took only 9 seconds to convert a 4:30 MP4 to MP3.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qwinff/ (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qwinff/)
I don't know, qanjaro. Maybe not. curlew may convert more audio and video types than the others. But, maybe it's overkill. feff seems limited. qwinff does only audio/video with ffmpeg. But with the adition of document and image conversion, ffmulticonverter seems to do more than all of the others. 'FF Multi Converter converts audio, video, image and document files between all popular formats, using ffmpeg for audio/video files, unoconv for document files and ImageMagick for image file conversions. '
If it matters, qwinff is the only one of the three to have been updated this year. ffmulticonverter worked quickly converting same mp4 to mp3 but, seems to manage fewer audio and video types than curlew, and has a rather plain-jane interface. Had to install 2 additional dependencies for ffmulticonverter to manage image and document conversions.

Hi all, :)
Following a suggestion of Excalibur ( ;) I search a list of the best (light, seaxiest, stable, not kdebase-dependent, ...) applications to integrate in lxqt (but not only).
A list of some possibilities is available HERE (https://github.com/Razor-qt/razor-qt/wiki/3rd-party-applications).

Hmmm… Some of you may like this.
Bespin developer Thomas Luebking's new creation for Qt5, Virtuality:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/virtuality-qt5-git/ (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/virtuality-qt5-git/)
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/virtuality-qt4-git/ (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/virtuality-qt4-git/)
Seems the Qt5 config utility affects Qt4 apps as well though you need to install Qt4 one too to set the virtuality theme for Qt4 apps.
Virtuality has already three subsets/presets (flynn, sienar, virtualbreeze) though they're just some minor hardcoded color sets in very few areas which you can achieve via virtuality's control panel anyway.
As always, you need to add one of these to your ~/.bashrc (and then relogin):
export QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=virtuality
export QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=flynn
export QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=sienar
export QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=virtualbreeze
Theme/widget style itself is too experimental or modern for me; hopefully it quickly gains the vast configuration options of the late Bespin.
Changed colours aren't honoured by Qt5 apps and this issue has already been reported in github (I'll participate after this as well).
There's also the new version of quantumstyle (a different qt engine by a different dev):
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kdestyle-qsvgstyle-kde4/ (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kdestyle-qsvgstyle-kde4/)
Don't pay attention to "ked" parts in the above aur naming it's a qt utility as virtuality, but this one is a Qt4 app (at the moment).
It seems Qt theming requires a thread of its own.
-
Not a core utility perhaps:

[KDE|LXQT] The Native Dropbox Linux Client Debuts New Qt Interface
https://forum.manjaro.org/index.php?topic=15282.msg141041#msg141041
The new UI uses (for now) the stock Qt theme. This isn’t ugly per se, but it does look a little out of place on the Ubuntu desktop, especially compared to previous builds. Memory usage is also reportedly higher, in some cases jumping from 60MB when idle to more than 178MB. Those on low-end devices should resist the temptation to try this [experimental] build — at least until this particular bug has been addressed.
http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/07/dropbox-experimental-linux-build-qt-rewrite
-
Yep, I already read it. But I'm not a dropbox user, I find it a lot too slow.
-
I have an account but, use it very little anymore. Just thought it was interesting that Qt is getting more attention. Nice for LXQt users who do use Dropbox that they will have Qt5 version to install soon, though.
edit: seems to look nice.
How to test Qt-based dropbox on your system
1. First of all quit Dropbox either bu right clicking on the dropbox icon on the task-bar or running dropbox stop command in the Konsole
2. Download the experiment buld from this link
3. Extract the zip file (it would be a hidden folder)
4. Cd to the ‘dropbox-lnx’ folder
mukt@the-mukt-online:~ > cd /home/mukt/Downloads/.dropbox-dist/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-2.11.0/
5. Then run this command:
dropbox start
You have the Qt based dropbox running on your system.
If you want to go back to old Dropbox, simple stop dropbox again, delete the downloaded and extracted folder. Then run dropbox from your menu.

dicktater and Esclapion,
There's no "registration" button in the Wiki pages and my forum name isn't accepted. May I ask you to read the attached file (.html and .wiki) and if useful put it in the Wiki?
Other souls are certainly welcome to read and criticize too.
I've downloaded it.
I took a quick glance at the html version. Looks great! But first, I must sleep before looking more closely. Also, I'll check about account creation on the wiki. It may be locked due to the recent trolling. Maybe I can get the sysop to create an account for you and notify you by PM? I can create the page, if necessary. But, I'm sure you would like the ability to edit when you get the urge. I dunno...... we'll see..... must..... sleep...... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Not for me, but interesting, thanks. :D I've heard of it a year ago. It works also for xfce.

I know Calibre was mentioned earlier but it deserves another plug, especially now it's Qt 5 (http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=242223) I've been using this version for a few weeks now. I'll also drop another vote for qpdfview.

Well, it works for me, too. But, does that mean you can actually read text on the screen? In two different installs, the screen is impossible to read, unlike the screencap here

even after removing all of the goofy effects.

mmm... OK. I had installed cool-old-term on two machines with nvidia nouveau (xfce & enlightenment) and it looked like crap. This is from a machine with ati radeon (pekwm) and it looks like it should (less the goofy effects).

good news!
otter-browser version 09.02 beta2 has been released and is available in AUR. i am writing this post in it.
it supports bookmarking and adblocking (with adblock plus filter lists) now.
look here: http://otter-browser.org/
flash videos (e.g. on youtube) still do not work out of the box. but the development speed of otter-browser is impressive.
it is interesting to read the planned features for future versions, too: https://github.com/Emdek/otter/blob/master/TODO
-
sddm 0.9.0 (https://github.com/sddm/sddm/blob/v0.9.0/ChangeLog) has been released today.
If I have a bit of time (and courage), I will try it. It's already in AUR, because one of the main devs of lxqt uses Manjaro. :D

i have a question:
otter has this on their to do list:
- extensions (Firefox and Chrome APIs support)
does this mean we will be able to use firefox add-ons AND google chrome extensions in otter?
maybe it depends on the backend otter uses?
- Blink backend (with upcoming QtWebEngine, when API will be useful)

it sounds to me like they plan to support chrome extensions, because they plan to support the blink backend (the google chrome backend) as well. i think it is impossible to have firefox add-ons with the blink backend.

From the timeline, it really looks promising and perhaps can compete with the giants.

Perhaps you are right but the devs clearly mentioned firefox addons. To be honest i don't want you to be right because i would love to see firefox addons in otter since chrome extensions lack when compared with Firefox addons ;D.
Edit: sorry a typpo wanted to say FF addons but instead repeated chrome

Phototonic can be used for setting wallpaper as well. From the dev:
That's acutally possible starting from 1.03. Two ways:
a) manually edit ${HOME}/.config/phototonic_XXX.conf ; adding something like
[ExternalApps] # if it does not exist, else just add a new entry below this
gimp=/usr/bin/gimp --some-fancy-argument
b) from UI, though not acutally intuitive ; switch to editable locationbar and go to the directory the application resides (usually /usr/bin/) and then simply enter the command, eg: "dolphin --some-fancy-argument" (for me it pops-up the GNOME FileChooser, so it may look different for you, though it's basically the same)
-
OK that it. Flash is out of here!
QMPlay2
It can be built in qt4 or qt5. AUR is qt4.
QMPlay2 supports most formats of movies, music and subtitles
QMPlay2 supports video playback and Internet streams (eg. Youtube, http, rtsp, rtmp, mms, and many others)
Improved support for "youtube-dl"
It does not mention this. But You can install gst/gstreamer to add to Youtube support. I have both youtube-dl and gst/gstreamer.
Even though I'm using aur. Cpu is way lighter then flash video. Ram ok too. Can be any were from 50M to 150M of ram(150M took me like 10 hour)
http://zaps166.sourceforge.net/?app=QMPlay2 or http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/QMPlay2?content=153339 His main web page is in Polish. ;)
And for the Web Browser with all the install gst/gstreamer. You can used a userscript called "ViewTube" Have tons of support to common video stream site.
The only reason I will see flash being used by anyone is flash game site. Witch only be used by younger audience.

QMPlay2 is the current choice for lxqt. ;)

since lxqt is based on qt5, why not install octopi-qt5 as well?
i do not know how to accomplish that, but philm managed to do it: https://forum.manjaro.org/index.php?topic=16029.0
the official webpage talks about qt5 builds of octopi as well: http://octopiproject.wordpress.com/

Hi,
since lxqt is based on qt5, why not install octopi-qt5 as well?
Yes, good idea. :) To study. Now, I'm busy with the simplification of the lxqt profile, but just after.
-
Twitch, hitbox, ustream...Unfortunately.
Sorry getting to this kinda late. But Livestreamer support all all these.
I'm using livestreamer-curses. Work will. Just need vlc install. I tried qLivestreamer. But it does not include the plugin support like curses.
-
Octopi-qt5 is for the moment only in unstable. I will wait for stable.
-
I know Clementine is one of the best out there. But is there any lighter qt alternative of xnoise or audacious, i like them both due to their simplicity and small footprints. Vlc is a must though.
And yeah for torrents i really like qbittorrent.

I was going to ask what's wrong with deadbeef-qt. But, then I found this:
But for me it's a pitty that the "deadbeef-infobar-plugin" is only workin' with gtk-ui. So deadbeef-qt it's not for me. Still lookin' for an alternative...
But then, I don't really understand why that should be a problem, except for those who must have the deadbeef-infobar-plugin, because there are no gtk dependencies for deadbeef-qt. Maybe the dev for deadbeef-infobar-plugin would be responsive to a request for a qt version?

Cantata is better and a lot lighter than Clementine, I think. As reader multimedia incredibly light, you have mpv, a must have.
-
Found this editor: http://notepadqq.altervista.org/wp/
It is QT5, maybe you will like to take a look. For me Juffed is fine, but another option is always worth to test.

really nice. thanks for the tip.
notepadqq has a little less settings than juffed, but that does not need to be a bad thing.
i like the many themes, which are really easy to choose from. in juffed, i had to select the colors manually.
the development of notepadqq seems to progress really well, too.
i will use it as my default text editor in manjaro lxqt.

One more image viewer:

baka-mplayer-git is not bad, based on mpv and written in QT5. ;)

how about silicon-empire? It is in AUR.

Difficult to compile, big, and works bad. If it works. ;)

Yeah I remember I couldn't get it working in opensuse.
Well, my laptop doesn't have CD anyway ;)
-
@Esclapion
could you post updated list just like in reply #74 ?
-
I have everything here, every functionality and no GTK (2 or 3). Well, I just have network-manager but not its applet (so no gtk) and don't need gnome-keyring or lxqt-kwallet.
how did you manage gtk2 dependency for libfm ?
-
libfm-git must be gtk-free, though I've got gtk2 now because of firefox hopefully soon to be replaced by otter-browser when it's based on qtwebengine and has improved bookmark and password management.
-
libfm-qt-git fails to build.
I replaced firefox with opera.
I has never been big big fan of pcmanfm, In past I was using qtfm (qt5).
(andromeda is awkward and I don't like doublecmd)
If I remove pcman/libfm will I loose ability to mount disks and pendrives?
-
Haven't tried libfm-qt-git for some time, but libfm-git seems to be gtk-free.
Opera (new, Chromium based one) needs gtk.
You don't need pcmanfm for mounting. Previously I've used ldm, but recently replaced it with easymount (no AUR, but easy to install: http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/easymount?content=157956).
-
OK I will try libfm-git.
I use opera12 (I dont care it's outdated :P )
I like QtWeb, Quzpilla is still not ready. Otter - I didn't know this one.
I know Easymount but don't we have a mounter in panel already?
-
That panel mounter needs some gtk as far as I can remember.
-
I removed gtk2. libfm and pcmanfm were removed as dependencies.
(lximage depends on libfm too but I replaced it with qimageviewer earlier).
I couldn't install libfm-git because of conflict with libfm-extra.
lxqt-panel and lxqt-runner depend on libfm-extra.
after reboot I lost wallpaper and panel-mounter doesn't work. Looks like it works only when pcmanfm runs in daemon mode?
-
you can replace the functionality of lximage-qt with qimageviewer and screengrab (lximage can also take screenshots).
i do not like pcmanfm-qt (it is dependent on gtk2) and it is heavily integrated into lxqt. i do not know exactly how, but it sounds reasonable that it handles wallpaper and mounting...
try easymount for mounting. now, you only need a qt wallpaper changer/app.
do you know a qt replacement for gnome-keyring (or do you just not save any passwords)?
-
Now, for wallpaper and desktop icons you need pcman to be running in daemon mode, but if you only need wallpaper-ing you may use feh.
I prefer phototonic as image viewer and wallpaper setter (via feh or pcman).
pcman doesn't need gtk really, but lxqt currently seems to need for some things, but then I've removed some time ago lxqt (and feel guilt –a bit!).
So in my system if I try to install libfm-git pacman just warns me to replace libfm and libfm-extra with libfm-git, i.e. no appearent issue here.
I don't know a replacement for gnome-keyring and yes, don't save passwords.
-
you can replace the functionality of lximage-qt with qimageviewer and screengrab
yes that's exactly what I did.
i do not like pcmanfm-qt (it is dependent on gtk2) and it is heavily integrated into lxqt. i do not know exactly how, but it sounds reasonable that it handles wallpaper and mounting...
pcmanfm-qt depends on libfm, libfm depends on gtk2.
try easymount for mounting. now, you only need a qt wallpaper changer/app.
someone help me please with easymont? ideally contribute to AUR? Im not a coder, you know...
wallpaper ? feh will do
do you know a qt replacement for gnome-keyring (or do you just not save any passwords)?
I keep crucial passwords in my head, some of them in cloud (currently opera link, before firefox/mozilla sync or chrome/google account)
-
easymount depends on pmount. So first install pmount from the repo. Then download easymount from the above link. Extract the easymount archive; go to that extracted directory; open a terminal in that directory; then one at a time issue these commands:
qmake
make
sudo make install
You need to enter your password at the last terminal command.
Now you've installed it and you can autostart it if you want.
-
So in my system if I try to install libfm-git pacman just warns me to replace libfm and libfm-extra with libfm-git, i.e. no appearent issue here.
If you finish the operation there will be an issue.
try:
pacman -Rc libfm-extra
-
I've tried and yes:
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
libfm-git: /usr/include/libfm exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
But then first I've removed pcmanfm-qt (with libfm), then installed libfm-git and then pcmanfm-qt without any issue.

thats what I tried but I miss something:

Sorry, no idea.

A new one, trojita-qt5-git (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/trojita-qt5-git/), of our friend anex. ;)

Awwight.
I had to go one step further:
I removed pcmanfm-qt, libfmfm-extra, lxqtrunner, lxqtpanel, menu-cache
installed libfm-git
then I restored missing pieces, removed gtk2, reboot. Everything works fine and I'm gtk-free ;D
Thanks!

OK, pcmanfm doesn't keep up with mimetypes and opens blank qimageviewer when I try to open image.
I'm staying with qtfm, I managed to compile easymount.
qmake-qt4
make
(I had to install gdb)
-
qtfm is quite nice, but had inconsistent mime handling in my experience. Then again pcman can be installed without any gtk. When I attempt to remove all gtk pacman offers to remove only firefox and some obscure deps, mostly of firefox.
-
hahaha quite the opposite here!
qtfm looks into deafult mimeapps.list, besides it has nice built-in mimetype editor (!) whilest pcman doesn't seem to know whats going on. it suggest opening images in lximage. well, lximage was uninstalled couple of days ago!

i just found a qt5 version of smplayer in the aur:
smplayer-qt5-svn
this version supports mplayer/mplayer2 and mpv.
i use it and uninstalled vlc.

In "parabola" libre repos, smplayer already depends on qt5

but i don't think it supports mpv. I'm gonna try the one from yaourt thanks.

Personally, I use mpv alone, with a little configuration file.

Been using that for a few weeks now and it works great. With MPV and MPlayer. I haven't checked if SMPlayer in the Manjaro repos supports MPV or not. Some 14.9's have it, some have it partially supported, some have no MPV support at all. Gotta love it when new features are being developed and you're not sure which version to use outside of git/svn.

I have done a search but didn't find anything so thought I'd ask here whether anyone knows of a qt5 scan frontend (GUI) like Xsane??? I found Vaultaire in AUR but I couldn't get it to actually scan anything...

gbscan-git (needs gambas libraries):
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gbscan-git/ (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gbscan-git/)
Edit: Sorry, it's qt4.

Baka mplayer (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/baka-mplayer/), based on Qt5 and mpv, very light.

Yes, it seems fine.
-
Not sure if it has been mentioned or not but Qutim, a QT IM client? It is nice, if only it supported skype.

Never heard, i try to get at least somebody into using Utox so that i can experiment with it. Indeed the thread gets too long to be know what has been discussed and what not :D
-
Qutim seems only be in Qt4. ???

The topic states qt4/qt5 so I assumed one or the other works.

Yep, it's only a pity for me... ;)

Best thing about it is that is a libpurple client, so it can even connect to skype.

New file manager with custom actions and mime type handling, similar to qtfm but seems a bit better. Not tried extensively, but it works with wayland too:
yefm -platform wayland

=============================================================
i have just spent hours (at least 4) and compiled a list of all qt programs i could find in this thread and other places:
https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?title=List_of_Qt_Applications
=============================================================
please discuss any changes you recommend here (or just edit the wiki page directly, if you have a wiki account).

Fine work, thank you excalibur.
Opera (new) uses gtk. Haven't heard of QScanner before; nice find.
Media converter – hybrid-encoder
Text editor – qtcreator

Is qscanner available via pacman / AUR?
