when i install bodhi linux, i select log in automatically. after done installation, i installed lxde. but everytime i reboot, it will back to moksha desktop. i need to log out then select lxde then log in. is there any way to start lxde automatically?
EDIT: IT FIXED
1. sudo vim /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
Replace vim with any other text editor you like. For example, nano.
2. Change autologin-user=<your_name> to autologin-user=false
3. Save then quit

Hello and welcome The only explanation: your PC likes Moksha more than Lxde. Why do you stress your PC with Lxde desktop? I am kidding of course  open terminology type: sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf add this line: user-session=LXDE
save file with CTRL S and exit with CTRL X reboot Stefan PS: Actually I am not kidding. May I know why you use lxde over moksha? |

Note that LXDE is almost dead, as its main developer has shifted his efforts to LXQt. It's apparently not quite dead yet, but it looks suspiciously like it's drawing its last breaths. LXDE hasn't seen serious development efforts for a decade or so.
Furthermore, LXDE is less lightweight than Moksha. So indeed: why?

Every full desktop environment is less lightweight than Moksha, by the way, and people still use them. But for the record, LXDE is the only full in the same ballpark as Moksha for resources, at least as far as memory usage, even XFCE takes twice as much. LXDE is still being maintained upstream github.com/lxde as well as being maintained downstream by various distros, including debian. Its one of the choices on the debian bullseye net installer, and works fine. And I believe there's also a fork that's working on updating toolkit to gtk3 that's available in AUR. On a slightly related topic, LxQT finally released version 1.0 within the past month too, but its resources are more on par with xfce than lxde/moksha. |
