I installed the arch distribution some time ago. I'm not sure of where I got the dist file from. My guess is Libreoffice was not installed and that may be why it wouldn't open when I clicked the Libreoffice icon. Last night I downloaded NOOBS and install AL. I will configure and install lxde and report any problems I have--Hopefully I'll have none. Thanks for your consideration and comment. John

Hi,

I have installed openbox and lxde on a Raspberry Pi and configured to automatically start on boot. When I login (GUI), I get a blank screen with a cursor. Not the usual LXDE screen with panel at bottom. When I right click on mouse, I am given options--some of the applications will start such as xterm but others libreoffice don't. I don't know where the log files are?

Is there anyone that can give me a helping hand. Thanks.

John

This may be the same bug as this one: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=760971 So you probably have to copy a panel from /etc/xdg/lxpanel to ~/.config/lxpanel/LXDE/panels/

Are you sure you installed libreoffice? On Arch the openbox menu has some standard applications even if they are not installed.
