 |
|
Hi All,
I'm using LXDE with Openbox as it's window manager, i recently started using it so i'm not too familiar with it yet.
Since yesterday when i startx and LXDE loads it doesn't start openbox anymore. If i open a terminal and type the command "openbox-lxde &" things work fine again. In "Desktop Session setup" in the "Advaced" tab i've set the windowmanager to openbox-lxde and /usr/bin/openbox-lxde but both give the same result.
My last update has been done at 17th of September and things have been working nicely after the update, so i'm quite sure that didn't trigger the problem.
Any suggestions to solve this ?
Best regards,
pa4wdh

Thanks for your reply.
I don't have a ~/.xinitrc 
I have a /etc/X11/Sessions/lxde file which contains:
And my XSESSION environment variable is set with:

When you simply run startlxde does it work right for you?
If so, could you create ~/.xinitrc with something like below and see if startx works then?
| Code: | | exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch startlxde |

Thanks again for your reply.
I tried your ~/.xinitrc suggestion but that didn't work. My .xinitrc was:
| Code: |
exec dbus-launch startlxde
|
The result was the same as before: lxde was running but openbox was not started.

I guess you've already checked revdep-rebuild for any broken packages and updated configs after last update.
So my next guess would be, could you post content of config and desktop.conf residing in ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE |

Dynamic linking is indeed totally consistent, no problems there.
config:
| Code: |
[Session]
window_manager=/usr/bin/openbox-lxde
|
As said in my first post i tried just "openbox-lxde" and with the complete path as it is shown here.
desktop.conf:
| Code: |
[Mouse]
AccFactor=20
AccThreshold=10
LeftHanded=1
[Keyboard]
Delay=500
Interval=30
Beep=1

Can you edit desktop.conf as below and see whether it helps? On my machine removing session part manifested your issue and putting it back solved it.
| Code: |
[Session]
window_manager=openbox-lxde
[Mouse]
AccFactor=20
AccThreshold=10
LeftHanded=1
[Keyboard]
Delay=500
Interval=30
Beep=1

Thanks ! That made it work again 
The only thing that seems strange to me now is that i changed the setting via the GUI before, i would expect that to modify the correct file.
But anyway, thanks for helping me out.
