intalled t on Ubuntu 14.04 then LXQt by following commands...

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lubuntu-dev/lubuntu-daily
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gilir/q-project
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install lxqt-metapackage
sudo apt-get install lxqt-panel

reboot and click small circle to chose LXQt login option

message displayed:
please select your default window manager
other... chose your favourite one.
you will be able to change this at any time through
Preferences > Session settings > Basic Settings

Unable to select window manager, is system looking for openbox or PCManFM-Qt ? not sure what to do here.

I am completely new to linux so if someone could explain how to fix this I would be grateful. is there an easy command line I can use in the terminal?

any help would be appreciated

Hugh

Welcome to the LXDE forum. I am not sure of your question. The default Window Manager for Lubuntu or Ubuntu with LXDE (which essentially is Lubuntu) is Openbox. (PCManFM is the file manager.) If it is not installed (for some reason) you can install it from the terminal: or the Synaptic Package Manager.

Thanks Rex for your prompt reply, I did as you suggested and after restart, I was able to select LxQt at the login screen.

Much obliged for your help. regards, Hugh
