View Full Version : [SOLVED] Pure LXDE borked xsession autologin

Installed 10.10 Ubuntu and found the Dell D820 did not digest Gnome that easily. I tried adding Lubuntu from repos after adding PPA. Seemed unstable to use, so I followed Psychocat direction for Pure LXDE and removed Ubuntu.
Now login is giving error "xsession:unable to launc "openbox-gnome" X Session --- "openbox-gnome" not found; falling back to defaultsession." :o
Where do I correct the xsession login to allow auto login. (I know the chances for autologin, and still choose to use it) ;)

If you get the login screen after that, change the default session there.

I want to skip the login screen and go directly to LXDE desktop. In Gnome it is found System> Preferences > Login. My system has no gnome anymore so I cannot alter.
How do you set autologin for the xsession using LXDE?

You should be able to correct the default session at the login screen and worry about how to autologin later. In case you get loggedin straight into lxde, just logout.

You are not answering the question on how to autologin to LXDE. I do not want other sessions and do not want to use the login screen.

Hm, it looks like I misunderstood the original question. Anyway, since you use gdm, the default login manager, the very same configuration utility should work. Try opening it with
gksudo gdmsetup

This applies if your running LXDisplayManager
sudo nano /etc/lxdm/default.conf
autologon=your.username
session=/usr/bin/startlubuntu<-Lubuntu 10.04 not sure with PureLXDE

Yep, thank you, it worked!
So, in order to complete the answer above, this is how to set a default lxde session in Lubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Oncelot:
$ sudo leafpad /etc/lxdm/default.conf
Make this changes:
## default session or desktop used when no systemwide config
#session=/usr/bin/startlubuntu
session=/usr/bin/startlxde
