Is pcmanfm running? |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
$ ps ax | grep pcmanfm |
| 21 |
2975 ? Sl 0:00 pcmanfm --desktop --profile LXDE |
| 22 |
2982 ? Sl 0:00 pcmanfm --desktop |
| 23 |

If not, check if it specified in the lxsession configuration. On my system the (default) |
| 25 |
lxsession configuration file contains: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
$ cat .config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart |
| 28 |
@lxpanel --profile LXDE |
| 29 |
@pcmanfm --desktop --profile LXDE |
| 30 |
@xscreensaver -no-splash |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
You could also check the 'Autostart' tab in the 'Preferences->Default applications for |
| 33 |
LXSession' and verify that 'Disable autostarted applications' dropdown entry is set to |
| 34 |
'No'. You reach the same config window by issuing: |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
$ lxsession-default-apps |
| 37 |
