The issue is that on mate-netbook layout clicking icons of open windows (mate-window-picker-applet) doesn't get them focused, instead they get "hidden" and I need to right click on the icon, select unmaximize to get them focused.
I can switch between windows with Alt+Tab only.
]]>Update: After some random fighting LXDE-gt3 with lxdm-gtk3, netctl set to autostart works as expected.

But failed to install LXQt with SSDM. SDDM fails to start. I'm looking what I might be missing. To be continued ...
Update: I tried troubleshooting like here, but still systemctl sttus sddm shows "failed". The I tried
# sddm --example-config > /etc/sddm.conf
and got
sddm: /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0: version `OPENSSL_1.0.2d' not found (required by /usr/libQt5Network.so.5)
sddm: /usr/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0: version `OPENSSL_1.0.2d' not found (required by /usr/libQt5Network.so.5)
That looks like openssl or s.th. similar isn't up to date. Edit: Wrong, openssl and sddm are current (same versions on Manjaro Testing). But qt5-base isn't: 5.8.0-11 vs 5.9.1-3. So, I'll wait for an update and try again.
]]>I can put together a list of those later today.
]]>I've bookmarked
http://open.qa/documentation/
https://bitbucket.org/emarx/openqa/wiki/FAQ
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenQA
But honestly this looks like a task which is beyond my capabilities. I will look into it, but cannot commit myself to setting it up.
]]>Here's the steps that I do:
1. Boot each iso, making sure that I can get to a root prompt.
2. From the i686 iso, go through the install procedure:
2. a. Install base, base-devel, grub, vim, xorg, xfce4, xfce4-goodies, networkmanager
2. b. Configure hostname/locale/timezone, to ET/New York, as needed
2. c. Enable services
3. Reboot and verify that the OS boots into tty.
4. Verify internet connectivity
5. Log in as root, and launch startxfce4
If you want to test with a display manager, or with something other than xfce4, that would be great. I use this as a baseline to make sure that the critical components still work:
* systemd
* grub
* X11
* Networking
* keyboard
* mouse
Eventually, I want to get openQA configured, but I haven't had time recently to spend getting it up and running. If you have some time, could you perhaps consider helping me get that set up instead of focusing on manual testing for the time being?
]]>I'v run an update on my test unstall of Arch32
glibc (2.25-2 -> 2.25-5), keyrings, pacman (5.0.1-5 -> 5.0.2-2)
Do you have any suggestions what to install (WM, DE, applications) so I can give you relevant test results?

I would like to add that I'm using btrfs subvolumes for my system so I can easily take a snapshot, install and configure something and if it doesn't work go back to the old snapshot. I also can use different configuration in different snapshots like one for a system with lxde and another for a system with lxqt, for example.
