[SOLVED -Sort of...] LXDE : hotkeys not working (lxde-rc.xml not used ??)

[Tereva]

Hi there,


I run PCLinuxOS 2010.07. LXDE release and I have a issue with hotkeys.
The only ones that work are Ctrl+Alt+left/right. Its change the current desktop.

Alt+F2 ("run" command) used to works but not anymore <- very annoying.

It seems that LXDE doesn't manage hotkeys but that openbox does.
Its should be set in the file : ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml

There is many hot keys define in this file, but somehow there aren't working.

any idear ?


Thx

Tereva

Solved... well sort of :

I re-install the OS for another reason (I wanted a larger / partition).
Fresh from install, all the hotkeys works like a charm

I probably un-install some package I should'nt have touch :p

Not sure, just an idea : had you changed something in the rc.xml lxde file ? If yes had you used the "openbox>reconfigure" menu ? It has to be started each time you modify theses files, or you can also invoke in console "openbox --reconfigure".

Salut,

No, I didn't touch the lxde-rc.xml file, and the hotkeys definie there did not work.


I had un-installed some package like wireless and bluetooth stuff since I use a desktop compt. So I thought its wasn't needed.
Doing so, I must had un-installed something (a lib ? ) that affect the hotkeys 'deamon' (not sure how is it handeled).

That's the only reason I can think of.

But is you have some more idea, I'm be happy to ear them !

A+

PS : Take notice : since I do a re-install -and this time I leave all the should be unsed packages. SO I can't test anything. When I have some time, I will un-install them one by one and see what happen
