FreeBSD, Openbox, LXDE not sure which Forum to ask but will try all three in order.
I would be grateful for advice or a steer in the right direction.
I have a running LXDE desktop on FreeBSD which seems fine however "/home/USER/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml" file was created empty apparently without any obvious ill effects.
I populated the file with the contents of one from my Debian12 laptop which took effect on the desktop however any attempt to configure openbox using "Openbox Configuration Manager" causes the Manager to
crash and the "lxde-rc.xml" file to be made empty again.
Installed the following on FreeBSD virtual machine running on Virtualbox:
CONFIGURE GUI STARTUP
VIRTUALBOX GUEST ADDITIONS INSTALL
================================================================================
Seems to me like a permission issue but I'm not sure where to look.
/usr/local/share/applications/obconf.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 718 Feb 11 03:28 obconf.desktop
/usr/local/bin/obconf -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 70840 Feb 11 03:28 obconf
