LXDE or just OpenBox?

What are the benefits of using LXDE over OpenBox with no DE? I am still trying to figure out what makes using a full DE more beneficial than just a straight WM.

No difference really, because LXDE is not a DE as such, just an aggregation of small apps, but all of them are independent. Though what lxde-common does bring you is a set of predefined configurations - for example, a rc.xml for openbox is provided that has an Alt+F2 keybinding configured to 'lxpanelctl run' and similar stuff.

Lost Openbox Menu to LXDE install

I would like to know how to restore my openbox menu, or atleast edit the one LXDE uses. I installed LXDE in hopes to have a better linux experience. After all sitting there with just Openbox, Nitrogen, tint2, and Conky was all well and good but I like having a desktop with icons.
My problem though without all the fluf is that my openbox menu became LXDE with only a few menus, which is far from my long list with just Openbox. Is there a way to restore it, or import everything over. (Like the menu.xml and the rc.xml) I know it exists since the obmenu command shows my old menu, though I can't get it to show up.

Did you manually configure your old menu via ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml or did you use the default?
If you configured it and now you have something different, then I'm guessing it was overwritten, in which case it would be interesting to know if that happens automatically or not when installing/running Lxde.
If you were using the default, try renaming ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml to ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml.bak then reconfigure openbox and check if it reset your menu.

Lxde-rc.xml ignored. openbox-lxde is using rc.xml

Hello, guys.
I love openbox keybindings and i am currently using OB in LXDE, but somehow my lxde.rc.xml is being ignored.
I copied ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml to the same directory under the name rc.xml and LXDE works ok like that.
The thing is that if i use Gnome desktop and replace metacity with openbox, i want this openbox to use the regular rc.xml so that I can have different keybindings in Gnome and in LXDE, but my openbox-lxde is reading rc.xml everytime.
I have gone through the scripts and checked file permissions and havent found what the problem is. Any idea??
I was thinking maybe a bad constructed XML file my lxde-rc.xml but I havent got any error in .xsession-errors. BTW, is there something for checking if a xml file is well constructed?
Cheers.
Salomon.

The location/line of where I imported was correct, as was the code being imported. The problem was my method for importing, which for some reason did not work. However XInclude, which Trilby suggested, did work.
Thanks everyone, problem solved. This will make synchronizing keybinding between systems a lot easier.
EDIT:
Stumbled upon another problem. I added another keybinding, basically copied the previous one and changed it a bit. And now it cries foul when I reconfigure openbox, throwing a syntax error at me. Weird thing is either keybinding works as long as it is the only keybinding in the imported file.
keybindings.xml is now:
<keybind key="W-t">
<action name="Execute">
<startupnotify>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<name>xterm</name>
</startupnotify>
<command>xterm</command>
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="W-c">
<action name="Execute">
<startupnotify>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<name>chromium</name>
</startupnotify>
<command>chromium</command>
</action>
</keybind>
As I said, on their own either keybinding works but if I put them together in the file I get a syntax error.

External Monitor and LXDE

I run Arch + LXDE on my laptop and everything works great. Recently, I attempted to attach my laptop to an external monitor and use lxrandr to output only to the external. When I first tried it, the output worked fine but I was unable to adjust the resolution on the external monitor to anything greater than the best resolution I can get with my laptop. After restarting X, though, I was able to get max possible resolution on the external. However, this does not happen automatically, and every time I attach the monitor I have to reset the resolution to the best possible. Also, PCManFM only displays the desktop on a portion of my monitor equivalent to the laptop resolution (1280x800) even though the laptop monitor is disabled by lxrandr. The rest of the desktop is just openbox; when I right click on it, I get the openbox menu. Furthermore, when I attempt to switch to an agetty, the display is not aligned and most of the left side of the output is cut off. However, if I open the laptop, the agetty output works nicely there.
The agetty problem doesn't surprise me because that has nothing to do with Xorg, but it would be really nice if everything just worked. I have tried looking for similar problems (and solutions), but I can find very little information. I would like to have PCManFM put the desktop on the whole display, I would like to have the best resolution automatically when I plug in the external, and (maybe) I would like to be able to use the agetty terminals when I just want to work from the terminal.
Thanks!

I want to avoid setting up a xorg.conf file, and arandr works pretty much the same way as lxrandr. So I decided to write a simple script that I could run at startup to automatically set the resolution of all attached monitors to the maximum possible. Here is the script, and I can run it from /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart:
#!/bin/bash
query=`xrandr -q 2>/dev/null`
screens=`echo "${query}" | grep '^[A-Za-z].*' | sed -e '/^Screen.*/d' -e 's/[ \t].*$//g'`
c=0
for s in $screens; do
screenarr[$c]=$s
c=$(($c+1))
done
displaylines=`echo "${query}" | grep -n '^[A-Za-z].*' | sed -e '/^[0-9]:Screen.*/d' -e 's/:.*//g'`
c=0
for i in $displaylines; do
resline=$(($i+1))
res=`echo "${query}" | grep -n '.*' | sed -e "/^$resline:[ \t].*[0-9]/!d" -e 's/^[0-9].*: *//' -e 's/ .*//'`
if [ "$res" != "" ]; then
xrandr --output ${screenarr[$c]} --mode ${res} 2>/dev/null
fi
c=$(($c+1))
done
I wrote this really quickly so if anyone has an suggestions for improvement that would be great. I am hoping to generalize this so that you can pass it simple parameters to have some control as to how your monitors are configured. Also, if you have a better way to extract the monitor information than from xrandr -q and regex that would be a huge improvement.
When run from autostart before PCManFM, PCManFM fills the full screen with the desktop.

[SOLVED] Openbox+Thunar, how to show usb devices in thunar?

Hi. I've been running a pretty standard Xfce environment for a while. When I plug in a usb drive, I get a new item pop up in the "DEVICES" section of the left panel in thunar (note, it doesn't automount the device, it just shows that it's there and only mounts it when I click on it...I like this behaviour).
Now, I'm setting up an even lighter-weight environment, just openbox and tint2 with thunar as the file manager. But when I'm logged into the openbox environment, I don't get the item in the "DEVICES" section in thunar (but it still works fine in xfce).
If it run thunar from the command line and plug in a usb drive I get this message in the terminal
(thunar:21205): thunar-WARNING **: Failed to launch the volume manager (Failed to execute child process "thunar-volman" (No such file or directory)), make sure you have the "thunar-volman" package installed.
I don't see why I would need thunar-volman if it works fine in xfce. If I install thunar-volman and do the same, I get this message
thunar-volman: Unsupported USB device type.
thunar-volman: Unsupported USB device type.
thunar-volman: Unknown block device type.
So I'm wondering if maybe there is a daemon that is autostarted during an xfce session that makes thunar probe for devices to be plugged in or something like that. Why does it work in an xfce session, but not in an openbox session?

Thanks for your replies.
henk: I tried installing polkit-gnome and creating the rule as per the wiki, but it didn't work. Volume detection seems to work fine in xfce without this package.
jv2112: I added udiskie to .config/openbox/autostart and it seems to work. I've had problems with udiskie in the past; it seemed to have some trouble unmounting the drives properly after a write as I would find that the newly written files were corrupt. But it seems to be working fine.
I'll mark this as solved, but I'm still curious as to how xfce-thunar is mounting the usb devices.
One clue is that with udiskie, devices get mounted to /media, whereas in xfce they get mounted to /var/run/media/username/ (or something like that).

[SOLVED] Upgraded System, Openbox now won't load after log in

I upgraded quite a few packages two days ago, none of which were openbox. When I rebooted, openbox didn't correctly load. I don't know how to describe the problem, but I can't seem to open anything from my menus, or run anything in openbox. However, my autostart file seems to load everything and wicd connects so I can use the ttys and browse.
I don't know where to start troubleshooting this. I've looked back at my /var/cache/pacman/pkg/, sorted by time to see the last packages that got updated. I downgraded certain packages one by one to see if anything specifically broke my system, but I had no luck. I downgraded linux, linux headers, xorg, xorg-common, and udev.
Thank you in advance.

Yes, it is just autostart now ;-)
I double checked, and all this seems to be fine. I haven't even touched openbox main configs since it updated back in August.
Is there an error log for when I log in?
I log in to openbox via slim, and then autostart should* start wicd, cairo-compmgr, nitrogen, conky, and tint2.
My wicd client seems to load because I can get on the internet (via elinks), part of my conky loads but not my lua rings script; nitrogen, cairo, and tint2 don't seem to load. When I right click, I still have access to my OB menu, but cannot launch anything.

Switched from lxde to e17 now Deluge won't work?

Hi all,
I've been playing with different Windows Managers and a few Desktop Managers lately.
Today I installed e17 from a fully working lxde setup and now deluge won't load.
I installed e17 as suggested in the wiki:
pacman -S e17-svn desktop-file-utils e17-extra-svn
I still haven't removed lxde, I just edited my .xinitrc.
I've tried selecting deluge from the application menu and nothing happens.
I've tried running it (as user) from the terminal and all it does is spit that python2.6 deprecation warning before going back to a blinking cursor.
I've tried running it via sudo (and gksu) and it spits out the same error as above but never progresses to the blinking cursor.
I've tried opening a root shell (via su) and get the same as above.
I've tried reinstalling deluge, no change.
I've only been playing with enlightenment for a few hours now, any ideas?
edit:
Oh, I've also replaced the default file manager with pcmanfm.
When I try to access /home/"user"/.config/deluge it freezes the whole computer and I have to restart x.
I noticed this because according to the permissions my normal (non-root) user doesn't have write privileges and that doesn't seem right.

I can't help you with your main problem, but for this one, just do:
sudo chown -R $USER:users /home/$USER/.config/deluge

how do you launch openbox? if you use startx, then try running "dbus-launch startx" instead. If you use gdm or whatever, edit the appropriate file to say "dbus-launch openbox" instead of just "openbox".

New Install - startx results in blank screen with mouse cursor

I installed Arch on my desktop last week with no issues, so I wanted to install it on an old THinkpad R31. Everything with the installation went smooth, but when I try to 'startx' all I get is a blank screen with a mouse cursor that I can move around. I've installed xorg-xinit, xorg-twm, xorg-xclock, and xterm.
I'm not getting any significant errors in the logs, or even the terminal I issue 'startx' in.
I'm not sure what the problem could be...
Here is my output from 'startx'

According to his first post he has both xorg-twm and xterm installed.
I do indeed.
I went ahead and installed LXDE anyways, just to see what would happen. Exact same thing, it looks like everything is about to load but only the mouse cursor shows up. My Xorg.0.log is the same, so I won't post it again.
I do get an error in the console about the openbox menu.xml file missing but I doubt that's related.

Steam Linux Games have slow FPS

Any tips on improving FPS? It's rather sad that it's 2013 and I'm still getting fps down to 50 in HL1 mods (with my laptop[1]). I've been playing Day of Defeat for a few days and the low fps is pretty irritating. I don't know how many decades it takes to run a mod from the year 2000 perfectly. I'd like the fps to be constantly 100. The fps is slow for all the games I've tested. The issue exists for native and wine "emulated" Steam. I'm currently sticking with native Steam.
I'm using 1920x1080 resolution, but other than that all the couple of graphics options are set to low quality. I tried to use a lower resolution but the impact on fps was pretty miniscule. I tried to use the Nvidia card according to the Wiki's instructions with primusrun, but the fps didn't improve noticeably. VSync is off. I'm using the libraries bundled with Steam. My desktop environment is Lxde (which is apparently one of the lightest desktop environment's out there).

this should rock ... i have a core2 with a GF9800GT, 4G ram and have stable 60fps at 1280x1024 (yes, net_graph shows that), everything full (with vsync of course, above 60fps, you just waste the power) in games like portal, counter-strike: source, etc., so both valve and source engines.
You can narrow down the issue with:
1. try without any sound
2. try a different window manager too (if possible something lightweight), to rule out a faulty setting.
3. i'm out of date with the new i5 CPUs, but acording to ark.intel.com the CPU has an integrated Intel® HD Graphics 3000, if so, are you sure you are running the games on the nvidia card and not on the integrated intel?) - you can make a simple test, use a software render setting in any valve (half-life 1) engine at 640x480 or 800x600, the cpu should run that fluently, and compare that to OpenGL setting inside the game.
I'm using LXDE which uses Openbox, that should be light enough. I'm sure that I'm using the Nvidia card, because the game doesn't start if I don't manually start bumblebee service (which incidentally is another unsolved bug). I might try disabling sound if I have the time..

Yosemite changes my keyboard layout without reason (randomly)

Hi folks. I have a macbook pro with retina display (Late-2013) and spanish keyboard. As a matter of fact I have a Spanish-ISO keyboard layout selected by default.
The problem is that I've recently noticed that Yosemite changes my keyboard layout to United States. When I go to input devices (in preferences) I find that a US keyboard has been added! Now I have Spanish-ISO and US as input device, but the US one is being used. So I remove the US keyboard, leaving just the Spanish one, and everything seems to work correctly again.
The problem is that this event repeats randomly! I notice that this is happening when I need to login my session. But not everytime!
I don't know what could be the problem!
Any idea?

Another way.
Thinking that LXDE is using Openbox.
You can use ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml
http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Bindings#Key_bindings
example: using the Windows key
<keybind key="W-u">
<action name="Execute">
<command>setxkbmap us<command>
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="W-b">
<action name="Execute">
<command>setxkbmap bg<command>
</action>
</keybind>

Messy keyboard. SOLVED

I'm using gnome with compiz. Sometimes lxde, and sometimes openbox with tint2.
For the second time this week, the keyboard got crazy. I was using the system (gnome) doing trivial
things and suddenly it started happening.
I hit a key and it prints another (e.g. hit p and it prints *, hit m and it prints 0). Seems like it changes the layout.
It gets so messy that I can't type any more commands.
I log out X, even ttys are now messed. I reboot, ttys are working fine. startx with openbox the keyboard is fine.
I startx gnome, the keyboard get messy again. Going to ttys doesn't help, just like before.
The first time it happened I rm -r ~/.gconf* ~/.gnome* ~/.nautilus and ~/.config/compiz/ and startx gnome the
problem just goes away. Both times it happened it was not after an upgrade or anything like that.
Well, I thought it was a gnome related problem.
Afterwards, I had already spent about two hours in lxde. The same darn thing again.
I looked in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi and it was fine.
How come the problem to happen in gnome, going back to ttys the keyboard is messed, rebooting the ttys are fine
but starting X (keyboard messy) and going back to tty right away the keyboard is now messy, when two seconds ago
it wasn't ?
What else could I investigate besides the keyboard layout in gnome, and 10-keymap.fdi file ?

I'm guessing this is on a laptop. hit your num-lock key.
on laptops, since there is no 10-key pad, the 10-key is mapped to normal keyboard keys.
U=4
I=5
O=6
P=*
J=4
K=5
L=6 etc.
if your number lock is on, then your keyboard will be "messy"

[solved] Nautilus doesn't open file list?

I installed Arch on this computer about two weeks ago. After that, I wiped all the other partitions off and dedicated the whole computer to Arch. In both cases, I installed Gnome for my desktop.
In this new installation, the Places tab doesn't work as expected. If I try to open any location except Computer, I get a kind of unhelpful "find" dialog box. In the past, all my bookmarks (Documents, and a couple of Windows shares I get to via Samba) opened up the same, with a list of files in that particular directory or share.
The only thing that is different this time, and that might pertain, is that after I got the Arch base system and Gnome running, I installed OpenBox and LXDE. I haven't actually used them, but I put #'d-out entries in my .xinitrc just in case I wanted to experiment at some point. PCManFM -- which I think came in with LXDE, right? -- acts more like I've come to expect from Nautilus, with the exception that it doesn't seem to recognize Samba shares.
Is it possible that LXDE "seized some rights" from Nautilus? Is there a .conf file somewhere I could look at? This isn't a showstopper, but I've gotten used to certain behavior in Gnome over the last couple of years (I arrived at Arch mainly via Ubuntu) and I'd like to get it back, or at least learn from what happened.
Thanks,
Eddie

Okay, I just removed everything I could find that was associated with LXDE and/or Openbox, and Nautilus is back to normal.
I'm rather surprised that there would be that kind of interference; I'm used to Windows stuff stealing rights from each other, but I can't say that ever happened to me in Linux.

Making things faster on old computer

Hi,
I got an old and a new computer, both with Arch on it. With the new computer, there are no problems, but with the old there are.
Hardware:
-Athlon XP 1700+
-256 MB RAM (it used to have 512 MB, but half of it became corrupt)
-NVidia GeForce 3 Ti500 card
Software:
-Archlinux
-Last full system upgrade last week, and now I stop upgrading after I saw the message about Xorg not supporting nvidia-71xx drivers anymore
-KDE 3.5 (kdemod3) as desktop
The problem is, this computer is too slow to browse the internet. The following websites are sites that I use, but that are too slow on this computer, due to heavy usage of javascript or flash (the internet connection isn't the problem, simply the displaying of the sites):
-gmail (unless I turn on basic html)
-facebook
-southparkstudios.com: it's hardly possible to watch a south park movie there, it always takes ages to load all the flash widgets one by one, and moving the mouse over the website while a movie plays can be fatal
I mean, this computer can play Unreal 1 in Wine without problems, with all its complex 3D graphics, but viewing a 2D website is too slow!
Do you have any tips for making displaying websites like the ones mentioned above, faster, with Archlinux?

I strongly agree with the BitlBee recommendation. It let's you run a local IRC server that maps various IM protocols to a channel, allowing you to use the same program for IM and IRC. I use it in conjunction with irssi, a truly great command-line IRC client.

Even more lightweight than rtorrent is aria2, which is much easier to use because there's no ncurses interface to get used to. Just put `alias bt="aria2c --listen-port=49164 --bt-require-crypto=true -T"' in your shell's startup file, and you're all set to download torrents by running `bt FILE.torrent'.

StumpWM and ratpoison are great. dwm, awesome, and Xmonad are supposed to be good, too.

Left- and right arrow key out of order

Hi,
I'm afraid to need your help again. My left and right arrow keys doesn't work as they're supposed to. While can neither navigate through my desktop icons nor the buttons in any dialog nor the text I'm just writing. The cursor stops blinking as soon as I press one of these keys so the system recognizes the key press but the cursor doesn't move. Showkey returns the keycodes 105 left and 106 for the right arrow key.
While logging in with LXDM im able to navigate back and foth while entering my password as well as the keys work properly in tty. It seems to be only LXDE, where the keys are not working.
Furthermore my function keys like mute, volume up and down and so on aren't working too. I don't know if both errors are relatet to another.
Maybe anyone has an idea what I might do to fix this?

I think I use lxdm to log in. As soon as I'm logged in, I'm using lxde. Ist this what you have to know?
no, you have to know it.
i meant: when you login with lxdm, do you have a choice between lxde-session and openbox-session (or sth similar) because there's a difference how openbox gets started and which config files are parsed.
It's an lxde-session. And LXDE uses openbox-lxde as displaymanager.

The part of the rc.xml I posted beforehand is the only one in that file that is tagged with <keyboard> and there is no binding for the left or right arrow key. There are some in combination with the control or shift key but that shouldn't do anything regarding my problem.

Absolutely.

Yes, exactly.
Steff432 wrote:I don't use lxdm, but I guess that doesn't use the default Gtk text entry widget, while most Gtk-based browsers as far as I know do, so it might be related to Gtk in some way. Or do you use a Qt browser? Have you tried the keys in non-Gtk software?
I use firefox which is, as far as I know, Gtk-based. But I installed QupZilla and gabe it a try. Unfortunatelly the same error shows up there.
I don't know if I'm right but lxde should be gtk-based itself and running a non-Gtk software in gtk-based lxde would show up the same gtk-errors to, wouldn't it? So eventually I'd have to try a non-Gtk software in a non-Gtk desktop environment in order to check whether the error doesn't show up under non-gtk software?
