LXDE Forums

I just installed Arch Linux and installed LXDE following the instructions on the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LXDE

However when I try to start lxde with exec dbus-launch ck-launch-session startlxde

It says: cp: cannot stat /usr/share/lxde/pcmanfm/pcmanfm.conf No such file or directory

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do.

For starters, report the problem to Arch Linux. This should be the first order of business for almost anything: your distro is your primary support channel for how the system fits together.

Look in /usr/share/lxde/pcmanfm and see what file you have there. Then edit startlxde accordingly. My guess is lxde-common's idea of what the PCManFM configuration file is named is out of sync with pcmanfm's.

I hate to drag up this old thread, but archlinux still has not fixed the problem.

You have to make the directory and copy the file yourself.
