LXDE Forums

Hi,

After installing Debian 8 lxde Version I could open iceweasel (and leafpad, libreoffice etc.) and move the browser/windows, resize and using menus. After restart all applications I opened were not able to be moved and to be resized. When I open for example leafpad it will open at the left top corner. This is also valid for all other applications I tried.

Another thing I realized is that after installation I could use shortcuts like alt+f2 to open the command-windows. This is not any more possible.

A similar question was already posted in 2013 without solving:

Any idea how I can solve this problem? Thanks for help.

when you see the problem, please open a terminal and type and post the output here.

Hi drooly,

Here is the output:
study1 2970 0.0 0.0 12748 2112 pts/0 S+ 15:50 0:00 grep openbox

What means that?

I have further informations: I installed XFCE and I don't have such problems. With XFCE I can work with windows and using alt+f2 to open application.

Thanks for help

this means that your window manager (openbox) is NOT running.
that's why you can't move windows, and they don't have any borders.
i have no clue how this can happen; openbox is an essential part of lxde and should be present and running.

when the problem occurs, please open a terminal and enterand post the output here.

better even, enterand post the output here.
