I installed Ubuntu Debian 23.10 server version. I also installed Openbox + PCManFM-Qt + VirtualBox Guest Additions because I am on a VirtualBox virtual machine. After the reboot, it asked me if I wanted LXQt or Openbox. I chose Openbox, but it redirected me to LXQt, and the icons and the mouse cursor are not visible. When I try to launch the terminal, it tells me that the type of terminal I'm trying to launch does not exist. Do any of you have an idea of what could be the issue? Thanks to everyone.

  • What is Ubuntu Debian? Is it like Lion Leopard? – user68186 Dec 20 '23 at 22:42

    It's helpful if you're specific as to what exactly (packages/commands) you installed; you installed pcmanfm-qt thus did install the core part of LXQt (pcmanfm-qt runs the background/display of the desktop & also acts as file-manager) which is why LXQt session appears, but you did not install all of LXQt it appears; and the WM openbox (LXQt is WM agnostic so you can use whichever you like). You mention launch terminal, but haven't said what terminal you installed as you didn't mention installing any (openbox is a WM, you only installed part of LXQt & not qterminal for example) – guiverc Dec 20 '23 at 23:10
  • Ubuntu and Debian are completely separate systems. They are only related in that Ubuntu derives from Debian a large portion of the packages. However, they are NOT the same OS at their base. Are you using Ubuntu, or Debian? – Thomas Ward Dec 21 '23 at 00:27

  • openbox is a window manager, it'll handle windows but doesn't actually have a menu of any sort (though obmenu is an optional menu for it; one of its addons). pcmanfm-qt can be used only as file-manager, but it's an integral part of LXQt just as pcmanfm was an integral part of LXDE; they're dual purpose file-manager & desktop handlers. You've not said what packages you actually installed, any other components as you only mention openbox & no ob-extensions, & the LXQt file-manager/desktop app but no terminal (eg. LXQt uses qterminal as it's terminal for example). – guiverc Dec 21 '23 at 20:00
