Hello friends, In this blog we will see how we can install Manjaro linux lxqt desktop on our android phone.

Lxqt is a light weight desktop environment for linux distos. So it is the best option for us to install it on our phone. We will install lxqt on Manjaro linux .

Prerequisite 

Termux

VNC viewer

Installation 

So first of all install manjaro linux

pkg update -y && pkg install proot-distro -y && proot-distro install manjaro-aarch64 

login to manjaro linux

proot-distro login manjaro-aarch64

By default colors are not enable in manjaro linux, so we will enable it, for that we have to edit bash.bashrc file 

nano /etc/bash.bashrc

paste the following in this file

export LS_OPTIONS='--color=auto'
eval "$(dircolors)"
alias ls='ls $LS_OPTIONS'
alias ll='ls $LS_OPTIONS -l'
alias l='ls $LS_OPTIONS -lA'

Now save the file with ctrl + o and exit with ctrl + x

Next we have to update our manjaro linux repositories 

pacman -Syuu

Now install lxqt desktop

pacman -S lxqt

Now we have to install lightdm display manager, it is recommended by manjaro linux developers itself.

 

pacman -S lightdm lightdm-slick-greeter 

Enabling lightdm 

systemctl enable lightdm.service --force 

Edit lightdm.conf file

nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf 

paste this line after [seat:*]

greeter-session=lightdm-slick-greeter 

Installing themes and icons

pacman -S   papirus-maia-icon-theme lxqt-themes adapta-maia-theme 

Installing a terminator and vncserver

pacman -S   terminator tigervnc 

Now you need to setup password for vnc 

vncpasswd 

Now create a startup file, enter following command to do it

echo "startlxqt" > .vnc/xstartup && chmod +x .vnc/startlxqt
