For one reason or another ~/.config/openbox/autostart script will not be read when openbox is booted up as a desktop environment in porteus, see:

As I have tried the solutions proposed in archlinux wiki to get the autostart to work:

I wonder if anyone of you could have an interesting solution.

autostart. You should rename yours to remove the
.sh from
the end of the name.
check version of openbox
example autostart.sh
Code: Select all

Crashman that is: the .sh missing at the end of the autostart.
Sorry that I did not understood before.
Thanks a lot.
