Restoring LXQT

The Lightweight Qt Desktop Environment (LXQT) is my favorite desktop environment for Ubuntu. Recently I had a problem, when after some update it would not start after login. Even after long search I was not able to find a solution. At the end reinstalling LXQT solved the problem:

apt-get reinstall lxqt --fix-missing

I think it would been enough to reinstall base as this is what I used to install it in the first place, but that was long time ago and I was not able to remember it now.

apt-get reinstall lxqt-base --fix-missing
