Hi Aere,

I think it would work better, if you use

sudo -H

instead of lxqt-sudo. At least it is worth trying.

If it works without changing the looks of things, you can make a 
function and/or a desktop file for it, to make it easier to use (and to 
avoid forgetting the -H), particularly if other people are to use it for 
setting up the KeyMusician system.

Best regards
