MGA6-32 on Dell Latitude D600 Mate No installation issues. I cannot find a way to test this Ctrl-Alt-F2 brings me to a new environment, logging in with a second user on the system, but then all I get from openbox or openbox-session is "Cannot open screen defined by environment variable DISPLAY. I set it to 1 to no avail.

Herman, are you able to do it with the old version of Openbox? Cheers, Stig
Mageia 6 :: x86_64 Installed packages and logged out. Selected openbox and logged in. Dark screen with a terminal emulator came up. There was a complaint from hplip that no systray could be found. The commandline worked fine. Launched nvidia-settings to check display setting. It showed vega:0 as expected. $ echo $DISPLAY :0 Right-click on background brought up a menu for applications, configuration, desktop and logout. Four workspaces defined. Moved freely between them. It looks good for x86_64.

Also, on this system, there was no openbox-session available, just plain openbox.
Back into openbox. Switched theme to syscrash. Right-click menu is actually Applications Desktops System Logout emacs works with customized keyboard shortcuts. Tried to enable the dock but could not figure how. Documentation said it would remain invisible until a dock application was run, like a clock. Opened a clock and closed it. No dock. Opened galculator and iconized it. It vanished in the direction of the dock but could not be retrieved. Not sure about the OK now.
All my tests may be null-and-void. Openbox is a window manager is it not. So how does one change the window manager? The Mageia wiki page is marked as untrusted on this subject. $ openbox-session Obt-Message: Xinerama extension is not present on the server Openbox-Message: A window manager is already running on screen 0 $ openbox Obt-Message: Xinerama extension is not present on the server Openbox-Message: A window manager is already running on screen 0

Finally figured it out. Logged in to Mate and: $ openbox --replace Obt-Message: Xinerama extension is not present on the server Openbox-Warning: Openbox is configured for 4 desktops, but the current session has 5. Overriding the Openbox configuration. The theme has switched to the Syscrash theme configured for openbox earlier. The panel stuff still works and so does everything else. $ ps aux | grep openbox lcl 5716 0.0 0.1 198768 28788 pts/0 S+ 18:35 0:00 openbox --replace openbox looks good for 64 bits.

Choose openbox at boot. Strange experience: just a black screen with a mouse pointer. Right click to get menus, which is basically the same as in MATE. One annoying thing: there doesn't seem to be any entry for caja, so only way seems to be: open terminal and type the command.
@ Stig Result is the same with older version. So newer version OK with me.
