I am installing ubuntu 18.04.4 and plan to use openbox. I have installed openbox, obconfig, and obmenu. The install instructions say to log out and then select openbox from a menu.

My login screen has my name, a text box for the password, a cancel button, a 'wheel' icon and a sign-in box.

When I click on the wheel, I get 2 choices: ubuntu or ubuntu on Wayland.

An option for openbox does not show up.

Is there a way to get to the openbox window manager from the login screen?

Running: ls -al /usr/share/xsessions/

gives:

Per Gryu's suggestion, rebooting solved the issue.
