LXDE installation using profile default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Choose Preferences/Openbox Configuration Manager or obconf& at cl 2. 3. Actual Results: Dialog box appears immediately stating: Failed to load an rc.xml. You have probably failed to install Openbox properly. The only option is to choose OK and close the dialog box - open box configuration is not accessible. Expected Results: Normal launch of Openbox Configuration Manager (obconf) The application is attempting to access the file lxde-rc.xml in the directory "/home/bill/.config/openbox/home/bill/.config/openbox/" which by default doesn't exist. As a temporary resolution I created the directory /home/bill/.config/openbox/home/bill/.config/openbox and symlinked back to /home/bill/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml which appears to work,
Output from strace: obtrace:stat("/home/bill/.config/openbox/home/bill/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml", 0x7fffc32bd610) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) obtrace:stat("/etc/xdg/openbox/home/bill/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml", 0x7fffc32bd610) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
Thanks for reporting this glitch in obconf. Would you mind posting your 'emerge --info' output in case it is helpful for reproducing this bug?

I can't reproduce it. Which version of openbox is this?
(gentoo) gateway / # openbox --version Openbox 3.5.0-rc1 Copyright (c) 2008 Mikael Magnusson Copyright (c) 2003-2006 Dana Jansens This is the openbox version that was included with the installation of LXDE. In addition, this bug also occurred on a Dell desktop about three months ago. Both were new installations by way of chrooting from a sabayon. (gentoo) gateway / # cat $(which openbox-lxde) #!/bin/sh exec openbox --config-file $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/openbox/lxde-rc.xml $@ (gentoo) gateway bill # cat .xinitrc exec startlxde If there's anything else I can do to assist with this, please don't hesitate to ask. As I noted, the issue is not critical and an easy workaround is available...
I will try to get in touch with upstream developers and see what they think
Which version of obconf is this? I do not understand why is it looking for lxde-rc.xml? Are you using the obconf from portage tree?
In any case, this looks like an upstream issue with obconf. Can you please report it upstream? https://bugzilla.icculus.org/ Please let us know when if/when you file the upstream bug Thank you

This is reproducible on another LXDE installation. I am not yet sure if this is an obconf glitch ( appending the same path twice ) or there is something wrong with lxde initialization.
Hi, after a lot of consideration this seems to be an lxde bug. Will you please close the upstream bug? I will release a new obconf today that workarounds this problem
(In reply to comment #11) > Hi, after a lot of consideration this seems to be an lxde bug. Will you please > close the upstream bug? I will release a new obconf today that workarounds this > problem Actually no. I will comment on the upstream bug. Please ignore my previous request
I added a workaround to the latest obconf. Please enable the 'lxde' use flag and emerge it again. Report back if you still have problems
(In reply to comment #13) > I added a workaround to the latest obconf. Please enable the 'lxde' use flag > and emerge it again. Report back if you still have problems I added lxde use flag and re-emerged obconf.

Yes, obconf is still broken. But the menu entry is using obconf-lxde not obconf. Try using the menu item, or if you are using obconf from terminal launch obconf-lxde instead. If you insist using obconf, then use 'obconf --config-file lxde-rc.xml'

If you insist using obconf, then use 'obconf > --config-file lxde-rc.xml' Sorry Markos, my bad there :( I checked the obconf.desktop file in /usr/share/applications and that does indeed have the entry Exec=obconf-lxde. I removed the symlink I had pointing back to /home/bill/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml and launched Openbox Configuration Manager from the menu and obconf-lxde from the cl and both methods are now working correctly. Thank you Markos for your assistance in resolving this bug. I will change the status to resolved/fixed.
