LXQt - Setup for a 4K Monitor

Right click on the Taskbar and select Configure Panel:

Size50
Icon Size45
Alignmentleft
PositionTop of Desktop

Main | Preferences | LXQt Settings | Appearances | Font :
Change the font size to 17.

Main | Preferences | LXQt Settings | Appearances | Desktop :
Change the Icon Size to 72 x 72, and change the Label Text font to Sans Serif 18.

Main | Preferences | Window Manager :
Change the title font to 16.

WiFi

Main | Intenet | Connman UI Setup
Status Tab - Power On WiFi
Wireless Tab - Select Your Network and hit the Connect Tab
Enter you password. It is not obvious but if you scrol down there will be an ok buttton, you need to click on.

Note, connman sometimes incorrectly identifies WPA2 as PSK, but it still works.

Bluetooth

You have install bluetooth and its manager:

sudo apt install bluetooth
sudo apt install blueman

A bluetooth icon should appear in the taskbar on the right side.

Bluetooth Auto Connect

  1. Click on Bluetooth Icon > then Search
  2. Right Click on the Device and Click Trust
  3. Right Click on the Device and Click Pair
  4. Right Click on the Device and Click Connect

When booting up, the first click on the Bluetooth device (keyboard and/or mouse) will wake the device up, pair and connect it to Bluetooth. This may take up to two seconds for each device. Afterwards, the Bluetooth device(s) should start working.

Sound Problems with Internal Intel Graphics

The magic code that enables sound through hdmi and displayport:

  1. sudo apt install alsa-tools
  2. sudo apt install alsa-tools-gui
  3. You should now have new menu entries under Video & Sound. Run HDAjackRetask.
  4. At the top, under select a codec, I selected “Intel Kabylake HDMI”. This name may vary depending on your CPU, but I’d suspect HDMI or DP will always show up in the title.
  5. Select “show unconnected pins”
  6. Cick the check boxes to override them and select “HDMI / Displayport” for each.
  7. Select “Install Boot Override”. Give your password when prompted & reboot. NOTE: The "apply now" button does not work, so don't bother with it.
  8. sudo reboot
  9. (optional) Remove alsa-tools and alsa-tools-gui if desired (they are no longer necessary).
