I have a multi head openbox setup with fglrx as my drive. I chosen openbox from the gnome login screen of 12.10.

My openbox crashes when I click to desktop left or right, but this does not happens always but rarely. Yet loosing all desktop if pretty irritating.

Where can I find crash log of the openbox?

Take a look at the openbox man page. I would start with the --debug switch when you invoke it.

excerpt

--debug            Display debugging output.
--debug-focus      Display debugging output for focus handling.
--debug-xinerama   Split the display into two fake xinerama regions, if 
                   xinerama is not already enabled. This is for debugging 
                   xinerama support.

The Help:Actions reference page might be useful too if you need to dig deeper into what's going on.

  • I do not run the openbox, its started from GDM, which might have something to do with the bug. I need the access the logs of the instance ran by GDM. Commented Apr 4, 2014 at 13:27
  • Those would be under /var/log. But You'll likely need to find under /etc/ where openbox is being called from GDM and add the --debug switch there to get more useful logging. Commented Apr 4, 2014 at 13:30
