Since Lubuntu changes its desktop from LXDE to LXQt there have been changes in icons of the panel and PCmanFM, the file manager. I am not an experienced user but I am wondering why a change in technology also has to come with changes in the look and feel of the desktop environment.

Especially when Lubuntu 18.10 is also using PCmanFM (qt version) I don't understand why PCmanFM does not simply look as clean as it did in 18.04.

Is there a way to use settings, e.g. openbox configuration manager or others, to make the new Lubuntu look like the last one(s)?

I right-clicked the title bar of Rhythmbox and then clicked Un/Decorate. Now the title bar is gone. I want it back and I can't figure out how.

I tried hitting D, but nothing happens.

I have a VERY old kubuntu server that I had to install LXDE on in order to keep it going (before lubuntu was born).

I just upgraded it to 12.04 as I finally had a need for some more modern features. Unfortunately I have no idea how to get auto login to the desktop working again.

I have found suggestions that the following files should be edited

/etc/lxdm/default.conf
/etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf
/etc/xdg/lxdm/lxdm.conf
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

to include something like

[base]
## uncomment and set autologin username to enable autologin
autologin=username

but none of these files exist on my system and I cannot find any promising alternatives.

Any suggestions on what I should try or where I should look next would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have been trying to set up a RDP terminal server on precise using xrdp and have been having significant trouble getting a working configuration. When a user logs on, I need it to connect to that users existing session if it exists, otherwise starting a new session, and any started session must start LXDE. What changes to the default configuration do I need to make in order for this to work?

I'm confused,how can I change the sound output in LXDE? There's not even a single option anywhere unlike other environments.

I've tried doing anything with alsamixerbut still nothing, the output device is the HDMI audio of a Radeon HD card.

Edit: As it Turns out i was able to change the ouput device, but i had to use Gnome for that and its Gnome Sound applet, that is log out and log in once in Gnome change the device, log out and log back in LXDE.

Now the question becomes Why can't i do this in LXDE?
