Ok, mine shows
-rwxr-xr-x
So, add the x (execution bit):
(When you opened a terminal within that folder)
or just:
Code: Select all
chmod +x ~/.config/openbox/autostart

Glad to hear it's working now.
You can even add 1-2 more tricks, if you like only:
Code: Select all
#For some transparency (in terminal etc.)
xcompmgr -C -n &
#Sound
/usr/bin/pipewire-start &
#Start fehbg to get last background selected
~/.fehbg
(
sudo apt install xcompmgr )

thats very intresting have you got
good experience with pipewire?
I remember it was not working in a past
with handbrake had to revert it to
pulseaudio true to be told that wasnt
MX Linux.
This Pc purpouse is just to run two programs gtk-pipe-viewer and vlc did not even realised that pipewire is the default sound server on it.

Not that I like Pipewire, just it's the default on MX-23 and it (the whole sound) gets broken if you install pulseaudio (at least here) and try to make it as in MX-21 and before...
Previously I used to use Alsa only (& Volume icon), simple, even not Pulseaudio :) : "Bitperfect" .
