The stable PPA for LXQt has been updated. You can find the desktop and a selection of applications for it in this PPA. I recommend starting with the mini.iso and then getting all the stuff to get a clean environment. After a minimal install of the Ubuntu base, this commands should be needed for a usable desktop:

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common plymouth-theme-lubuntu-logo plymouth-theme-lubuntu-text
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lxqt/ppa --yes
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends lubuntu-artwork lxqt fonts-droid gvfs-backends samba sddm sddm-theme-lubuntu-chooser openbox obconf-qt compton compton-conf lubuntu-icon-theme alsa-utils cmst lxqt-admin lxqt-common lxqt-config lxqt-globalkeys lxqt-notificationd lxqt-openssh-askpass lxqt-panel lxqt-policykit lxqt-powermanagement lxqt-qtplugin lxqt-runner lxqt-session lxqt-sudo pcmanfm-qt qps qterminal xorg xserver-xorg-video-all xserver-xorg-input-all dmz-cursor-theme dbus-user-session policykit-1 va-driver-all --yes

This is only a basic desktop. If you don't want/need compositing, you can omit compton and compton-conf. Instead of Openbox, Xfwm4 works fine, too. For a sane set of applications you can use this command:

sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-samba vlc-plugin-notify qpdfview quassel screengrab trojita albert juffed lximage-qt qlipper

Have fun and feel free to report issues.
