[SOLVED] LXDE starts not, openbox is alive, after last update

TheSaint · 2014-11-13 08:12:59

Hello,
I update after a while and I'm facing problem to have LXDE session back to normal.
The boot sequence takes a little longer than usual, the screen doesn't clear and then OB menu will work, but LXDE panels won't appear.
Ｍy current LXDE version is 0.5.6-1.
I found some error on ~/.cache/lxsession/LXDE/run.log

$  tail ./.cache/lxsession/LXDE/run.log 

(zeitgeist-datahub:1841): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_connect_data: assertion 'G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed
Openbox-Message: Unable to find a valid menu file "/usr/share/lxde/openbox/menu.xml"

(openbox:1830): GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 19 was not found when attempting to remove it

(openbox:1830): GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 35 was not found when attempting to remove it

** Message: app.vala:359: Exit normal, don't reload

Do you have any info window that "Desktop manager is not working" (I can translate it wrong - sorry). And the rest of sympthoms the same - only openbox, no pcmanfm not lxpanel I Have something similar with upgrading my sister laptop few days ago - so I can just describe it using my memory .
The thing was that new lxsession introduced many new options including lxsession-default-apps which defines all "default aplications". But File manager and Panel were not defined and Pcmanfm was not launched at the start. So just run lxsession-default-apps (from terminal) and see if it set up correctly.
I hope it helps.

I ran the program and I found all menus not set, but even after correction I still have not lxde up.

OK - launch any terminal then htop and see if there are any of LXDE components launched (starting from lxsession)

I have

]$ ps -A |grep -i lx
  361 ?        00:00:00 lxdm-binary
 1687 ?        00:00:00 lxdm-session
 1719 ?        00:00:00 lxsession
 1873 ?        00:00:00 lxpolkit
 1875 ?        00:00:00 lxclipboard

EDIT
I think I found the error.
I had a hold autostart file in ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/ which it was empty.
I copied /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart over the old one, now I'm on LXDE session writing this post
