any automount system?

any automount system?

My installation has one but I am not sure if I installed manualy or if it came directly with it.

Really happy to see 0.8 come out. Now the aur package on arch for lxqt now works again for me.
And it even has fixed a ton of grafical issues.

Does anyone now if you can already run lxqt under wayland?
Would like t give it a try.

Automounting is just another vector for security breaches.

Automounting is just another vector for security breaches.

So are web browsers, sudo, an active internet connection, and just about anything else imaginable.. Hence why I like KDE's option of "Only automount drives I've manually mounted before." Good middle ground.

Awesome, and just in time. Can't wait for this to hit Gentoo!

I haven't used LXQt yet but the GTK+ version of PCManFM offers to handle automounting so it wouldn't surprise me if pcmanfm-qt also offered it.

Tried LXQt, didn't see much of the improvement but it is always some step ahead. Xfce didn't have big update from ages.


LXQt doesn't have ANY wayland compositor and Weston won't work without changes. Also Qt5 has wayland backend only on github, I don't know when it will be merged to Qt5 package.

I'm pretty confident they'll use KWin5 for Wayland. KWin is already one of the supported window managers and with KF5 it's getting even better to use on non-KDE platforms.
