I did have to much difficulties in 17.04 (I know, it is a developement version, but I have more difficulties in 16.04 and it is an LTS already in the first .1 reactualisation
!) so I did erase 16.04.1 and install today Debian 9 RC2.It works pretty, after a few hours. Installations methode: netinstall with the mini iso 300 MB burn on CD, CD restart in graphic expert installation, installation with more than one language environment (en-GB, de, fr, hi, ko, ta) until tasksel,
in tasksel no lxqt to find
also did I let only
- web, print, ssh server
- portable computer as I use a laptop
demark the proposed Debian environment
execute tasksel and finish installation.
restart

an I will install skype tomorrow.
I did try to install the old version from kompozer with the adequate old libraries. no way (it did continue to work in 16.04!). same thing with xvidcap. they are immens looses... the Linux world is not realist any more. we have to work in 2020 in a few month whith less performant tools as installed in Windows 95
.but one great deception today evening:
the uggly but not dark background from LXQT (the background from LXQT in 16.04 was a lot more beautifull. It continue to be present on my security saving of that Kubuntu version, but I don't know where LXQT saves his background pictures). And I find no item under 'Préférences' in my French installation where to try to change the background hopping the new selection would reappear after restart! My screen is actually completelly black
excepted of course the windows, bars and pictures...NB: if someone will reproduce my installation or somewhat analog: all items installed do not appear in the menu of lxqt. for exemple rox-filer or grun etc. You need to create a starter under /usr/share/applications. you simply copy an analog starter, for example the starter for pcmanfm-qt under the new name for example rox and open it in sudo mode in your editor and change the needing lines...
after that, you have a starter and can draw it into the bottom bar in the left corner as proposed
. it is not always easy to find the adequate icons as, for example, the icone for rox-filer is in /usr/share subdir in the subdir of rox and not in .../icons or .../pixmaps!
