Need help installing LXDE

[johnvargas]

Hello,
I've installed LXDE with the following commands:

pacman -S lxde
mkdir -p ~/.config/openbox
cp /etc/xdg/openbox/{menu.xml,rc.xml,autostart} ~/.config/openbox
pacman -S gamin

But when I go to start the desktop with "exec startlxde", it logs me out of root so I need to log in again. Why is it doing this?

Welcome to the lxde forums. Since you are using pacman, I can assume that you are using Arch or some derivative of Arch. The correct command to install it is:

Code: Select all

pacman -S lxde

After installation you can start it by running:

Code: Select all

startlxde

There is no need to run it from a root terminal. If you are having problems with your installation I would refer you to the Arch forums, https://bbs.archlinux.org/
