Googoo says that this is a known problem, apparently related to a conflict between Openbox and display managers. Most references call it a bug, I guess in Openbox. Some provide a workaround, but they're very clunky, if they work at all.Not fatal, but *very* annoying.Here's one possibly helpful bit of info.
Well, to answer your question:Once upon a time, I remembered that,If launch openbox, trayfreq, nm-applet, lxpanel, everything goes fine.If launch openbox-session, I got two trayfreqs and two nm-applets. One instance is run by ./config/openbox/autostart, which is expected. And the second instance is invoked by the "session", definitely.
Folks,
I have to install openbox on a clean Ubuntu that does not have any GUI yet.
The steps I had written down were:
$ sudo apt-get install xorg
$ sudo apt-get install openbox
$ vi ~/.xinitrc and create a line "exec openbox-session"
$ startx
I accidentally missed the step of creating ~/.xinitrc file and just ran the final step "startx." What I noticed was that openbox did s
Is it possible (without too much difficulty) to have an Openbox/Gnome desktop?Since Gnome is a full desktop environment and Openbox is only a Window Manager.Use the Gnome DE and have Openbox WM, instead of Metacity or Compiz? (with Ob Config & Menu included)I know it won't be near as light as a straight Openbox, but it would add Ob convenience to Gnome DE.What do you think? Wo
fatmac is correct, or you may need to create an xinitrc for openbox-session-kde if it did not do that for you when Openbox was installed. I'm not familiar with openSUSE though so can't tell you exactly.
In http://packages.crunchbang.org/waldorf/pool/main/you can find slim_1.3.4-3_i386.deb or slim_1.3.4-3.debian.tar.gz/etc/slim.conf:sessions openbox-sessionEdit the file and restart slim or the computer.Ok. I do not use slim and i can not test it ;-) slim needs to much memory ;-) I start openbox directly with "openbox-session" from the console.
I have been thinking about some improvements to OpenBox, such as extending its functionality via Lua scripting. I tried to contact the author more than once, but got no reply.
To specify I am talking about them separately, not openbox as the WM for gnome3.When I start openbox-session, openbox starts properly, but fails to start anything in ~/.config/openbox/autostart.
From where does LXDM find session entries?I looked at /etc/lxdm/Xsession, but its a little over my head to the point where I can't seem to isolate it, assuming I am correct in my assumption that it this file is responsible. My assumptions for this file being responsible are based on a section in it that allows the default session to be chosen.I plan to remove the "Gnome/Openbox&quo
