My problem is that after I switched from GNOME to LXDE I can't use my keyboard shortcuts for volume correctly (I can't unmute). Whenever I change the commands in ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml nothing changes. What could be the reason?

  • A lot of questions I found (for example this - https://askubuntu.com/questions/544754/lubuntu-14-04-unmute-sound-from-keyboard-not-work). Yes I tried reconfigure and logout and restart, nothing seemed to work. – user4065758 Nov 19 '17 at 23:49
  • Indeed I needed to work on the lxde-rc file not the lubuntu one. Thank you! – user4065758 Nov 20 '17 at 08:16

At the login screen you can choose your session, and openbox uses different .xml files for the different sessions:

  • for Lubuntu sessions:

    ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml

  • for LXDE sessions:

    ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml

  • for Openbox sessions:

    ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml

After editing the correct file either execute openbox --reconfigure or log out and log in again to apply the changes.
