Dear leaders and senior members of OpenBox mailing list, I used Debian GNU/Linux Live 11.6.0 lxde 2022-12-17T11:46]/ bullseye ISO to install Debian. I also use Knoppix 8.6.1.
With this Debian iso LXDE is installed. My questions are: could xsession be run without a DE, in my case, LXDE? Without my installing any other DE? Can the xsession be run without a DE? If it can be, how? Is OpenBox such an implementation of WM? I read the webpage http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Getting_started#Using_Openbox_without_a_desktop_environment_.28The_lightweight_approach.29 I quote from the said webpage: "... a third "Openbox" option ... Session Type menu when logging in graphically, ... This option will run a more lightweight Openbox session without any desktop environment or session manager. ..." and "... Most likely if you are not using a graphical log in, then you are using startx to begin an X session. In that case you need to run Openbox from your ~/.xinitrc file. Rather than just running openbox however, you should choose from one of the three programs listed below: openbox-session ..." So how could I configure my Debian installed system so that I could use openbox without LXDE DM? How to configure autostart and other set up? There are some comments which indicate that I would need to install init packages. Which init packages should I install? Will the initscripts package be required? I have checked the list of Debian ISOs. All are with DE. Your competent advice would be welcome. Best wishes, Rajib B Etc.
