[Solved] Openbox not executing autostart or rc.xml
Hi. Two days ago, I wanted to jump to a lighter DE, and thus, I decided to have a go with LXDE. I am able to start applications when logging in with the file ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart
I have tried to do the same with the autostart file that Openbox provides: ~/.config/openbox/autostart without any luck. Here is my autostart file:
#!/bin/bash
numlockx &
compton --config /home/sejo/.config/.compton.conf -CGb &
(sleep 1s && volumeicon) &
(sleep 1s && xscreensaver -no-splash) &I also gave read and execute permissions to that file, but still, Openbox seems to ignore it. Another thing I have noticed is that the keybindings aren't working. It doesn't matter wether I edit the rc.xml file by myself, or I use obkey. I also have found that I have another file in the same folder called lxde-rc.xml. Below, you can find both files:
First, the rc.xml file:
<openbox_config xmlns="http://openbox.org/3.4/rc" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude">
<resistance>
<strength>10</strength>
<screen_edge_strength>20</screen_edge_strength>

<underMouse>no</underMouse>
<!-- move focus under the mouse, even when the mouse is not moving -->

</openbox_config>The last test I performed was to introduce syntax errors in the file, and then execute openbox --reconfigure from the terminal and see if I get an error. As the terminal was warning me about the syntax error that I just introduced, I have discarded that the file is somehow not being read.
I have run out of ideas about what can I do. I've gone through many forums, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

Re: [Solved] Openbox not executing autostart or rc.xml
Hi. My openbox autostart works without the first hashbang line and without execute permission. But this file is read only if openbox is started with the 'openbox-session' command in standalone mode.
If you didn't copy the 'lxde-rc.xml' file yourself then I presume that the lxde display manager did it for you and has specified that file as the config file instead of rc.xml with the '--config-file FILE' option; I don't know lxde, but you can verify how openbox is launched with the 'ps -ef' command.
But only one config file should be used and the default is 'rc.xml' if it is not changed with the '--config-file FILE' option.
You need to verify all this to undestand what happens in your installation.

Re: [Solved] Openbox not executing autostart or rc.xml
Hi. First of all, thanks for your fast answer. I verified how the openbox was launched, and I can see it included the --config-file option to point to lxde-rc.xml. The thing is that Openbox wasn't launched as openbox-session, but only as openbox (which I assume is normal if you launch the LXDE session, instead of the pure Openbox session). Now I have deleted rc.xml and modified lxde-rc.xml, and the keybindings are working. About the autostart file, should I use just the one provided by LXDE and forget about the one from Openbox?
PS: As now I can define keybindings and programs on startup, Im going to mark the post as solved. Thank you very much.

I had the same issue and I believe that yes, you should forget about the OpenBox.
If somewhere in the future you decide to abandon LXDE and go for a Openbox only instalation you can easily convert the current file
