Openbox not starting after autologin display manager

Hey there!

I've got a weird issue I haven't been able to solve. I've set up LightDM so that it autologins my user. It apparently logs in fine, but the screen stays blank until I move my mouse. Only after moving my mouse (clicking or keyboard buttons won't work) my openbox session (and tint2 etc.) starts. With LXDM it is the same, but the screen isn't blank but the boot status messages stay visible until I move my mouse and then again openbox starts.

If I disable autologin openbox starts immediately after entering password.

Any ideas?

I read through that discussion earlier, but couldn't see the connection between my issue and theirs.

Anyway, installing haveged didn't have any effect.

You have to enable its service as well.
