And how do you start the plasma-desktop?
It always starts xfce4 for me. I tried to attach the container then start manually with 'plasma_session' command, but that didn't work. When I tried to start from the xfce4 session, it didn't work (obviously).
But, this is not how I was launching Chromium, but it was just from Application menu on the desktop...
BTW - I still can't get landscape mode by any means - landscape script, kde system settings, plasma settings, xrandr, efc... all fail to have any effect

I have sid running in a container again. My problem is still the keyboard layout under xfce4. I have copied the layout to .lxc/Sid/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols but in xfce4 it doesn't show up in the keyboard settings. How do I make it visible there, so that I can choose it and set it active? I have read that there is an entry necessary in .lxc/Sid/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/endev.xml. but there is also a endev.lst in this folder. Do I have to edit both and what exactly do I have to put in there?

Here is the result:
For the landscape mode, I would suggest to start xfce4 in landscape first.
Plus, to be able to launch the Chromium browser, you don't need to start plasma. I just installed Chromium and was able to launch from the menu within xfce4 without plasma_desktop.
I'll play with plasma. It would be good if plasma somehow can be started as a default DE.

I can't get anything to launch in landscape mode, not even xfce. I set landscape as the option in containers settings, I use landscape script, I set the display settings in Linux to rotate - it doesn't matter. Nothing causes landscape rotation ...

Update - I wiped everything and started from scratch, and now landscape works. I guess I must have done something wrong in setup or something ...

For me when I start in landscape, it automatically rotates the screen when the xwayland window starts.
Now, you may try again Chromium without plasma.
For me, in plasma, I could change the font size in the windows but not in the menubar down there. So if you know the trick, please let me know.

One question - Do you know if it's possible to get OnBoard keyboard to show on the Plasma lock screen ?
Thanks for all your help.

I got the keyboard to work under xfce4. I copied the pro1 xkb directly under .../symbols. Than It's enough to edit .lxc/Sid/usr/share/X11/xkb/endev.xml and to add:
Code:
<layout> <configItem> <name>pro1</name> <shortDescription>pro1</shortDescription> <description>pro1 deutsch</description> <languageList> <iso639Id>de</iso639Id> </languageList> </configItem> <variantList/> </layout>
