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 - askubuntu.com/questions/544754/…). Yes I tried reconfigure and logout and restart, nothing seemed to work. Nov 19, 2017 at 23:49
  • Indeed I needed to work on the lxde-rc file not the lubuntu one. Thank you! Nov 20, 2017 at 8:16

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.
