Make opebox default session

[lautarop]

Hi there. For a couple of years I've been using openbox over my xubuntu. But now I decided to try regular ubuntu with gnome.

Back then, after installing openbox and login in with it, every other time I turned on my system, it went straight to openbox.

But now, if I log out from gnome, login with openbox, the next time I turn it on, it goes back to gnome.


How can I change my default session?

Stating a number or name of the Ubuntu version you are running would have been nice. :P

But so, I'm just guessing; you might be running Oneiric 11.10, with LightDM as the display manager (default in 11.10).
If yes to both, please see this guide how to change its auto-login settings:

Hope I guessed right! ;-)

Alright! Thanks man

It is easy you need to select the session at the login screen and once it is done it will stay that way till you edit.

Not for auto-login, which the OP was asking for. ;-)

But yes, that's true for GDM.

I am using 11.04 where this opption is available under

system settings -> Control Center -> Login Screen

Same should be there even in 11.10.

Check the attached screen shot.
