OpenBox desktop

[penguin]

Today I decided to configure OpenBox desktop as per www.lxlinux.com.
Openbox is preinstalled on SparkyLinux 4.8

Directly I found that Obconf was not installed
I installed lxappearance, continuing to .... install Obconf that asked to install libobrender29 ,version over 3.5.2 and after another library was required ... and so on.When libobt2 was required for installing, an conflict error comes up.

conky shows that :
Openbox runs on 268 Mb memory on my Sparky 4.7 (64 bit)
XFCE desktop runs on 369 Mb memory on my Sparky 4.7 (64 bit)
As I remember LXDE desktop runs between 28x to 3xx Mb on my Sparky 4.7 (64 bit)


Pavroo. Can you investigate this problem? Seppalta, kindly i am asking you to.

I am hopping that Sparky Linux 4.7 will upgraded smoothly to version 4.8

Run:

Code Select Expand

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -s obconf
and show the second command output.
Anyway, the obconf should be installed and avialable in the system sub menu as "Openbox Configuration Manger".

To check what use so much your ram, run:

Code Select Expand

ps aux

Looks like you have NOT obconf installed, but after updating package list, there is no problem with installing it:

Code Select Expand

sudo apt update
sudo apt install obconf
After installing it, it will be visible in the System submenu.

Once installed, it does not need to be run as sudo or via root. Run it as a normal user.

In Sparky wirh debian Buster  running "obconf:" as normal user is the same of going into menu / preferences / openbox configuration manager
