Hi, I have archlinux with lxde.
I try to orginize my panel and add different applets on it, but every time I log off or reboot, it all resets to default. How can I stop this from happening? Thanks

Re: [HELP] LXPanel resets after every reboot
Investigate whether your changes are written to the configuration files, which are in ~/.config/lxpanel/LXDE/panels. Correct any protection problems that are preventing it.

There is no lxpanel in my .config directory. There is 'autostart pcmanfm Thunar openbox Terminal xfce4' The xfce4 is probably there from when I was trying it out. I don't know if this means anything but the first time I used lxde, i was accidently in root. So maybe it's saving the .config files in my /root?

Work your way down from /home using ls -l to find the ownership and protection of all the directories. Reset them using chown and chmod so your UID can write them.
If you have no ~/.config/lxpanel/the rest of the path I gave, this accounts for why nothing is being saved.
