I am using Lubuntu 20.04.03 LTS (Ubuntu + LXQT, bassically), fresh install. I can configure Task Manager to show only windows from current desktop (workspace), but the task switcher still shows windows from all desktops. Is there a way I can synchronize both? Before upgrading (18.04) behaviour was as expected.

Thanks in advance.

  • Lubuntu 20.04 has LXQT desktop by default. You installed LXDE next to LXQT ?

  • Please note: Upgrading is not supported for a reason, thus why you find "Note, due to the extensive changes required for the shift in desktop environments, the Lubuntu team does not support upgrading from 18.04 or below to any greater release. Doing so will result in a broken system. If you are on 18.04 or below and would like to upgrade, please do a fresh install." in the release notes. eg. lubuntu.me/focal-2-released An upgraded system may have issues not present in a clean install; LXDE used by 18.04 was a different deprecated desktop using deprecated libraries.

  • Thanks for the tip, before I had 18.04 but the 20.04 is a fresh install, not an upgrade

I found the solution for my problem. In the keys binding configuration file (now in ~/.config/openbox/lxqt-rc.xml) the combination config for switching between windows is A-Tab. That's right, but there's also an option called <allDesktops>. In my case it said yes, I changed it to no and now it shows only windows from the current desktop.

Right-click on the panel. First option in Task Manager Settings is Show only windows from desktop.

  • Thanks for your answer, that option is already ticked, so in the task bar I can see only windows from the current desktop, BUT the task switcher (Alt + Tab) shows windows from ALL desktops. That's why I talk about synchronizity.
