[SOLVED] "Permission denied" when Openbox tries to execute autostart.sh in ~/.config/openbox

Hey guys. When I startx into Openbox from console, I'm left with just a black screen.

My custom menu, themes and everything still work, but none of my custom commands were loading. When I exited Openbox, I noticed "permission denied" when it had tried to execute autostart.sh in my home directory.

It's been like this since I removed GDM and installed Xfce4, then removed Xfce4 again after a couple of days.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bumping with additional information. I think it might be my .xinitrc in ~/

Code:

#!/bin/sh
/home/alarazr/.config/openbox/autostart.sh
exec openbox

Since this seems to be a permission problem let us have a look at that autostart-sript's permissions:

Code:

ls -l /home/alarazr/.config/openbox/autostart.sh

I've fixed it man =) My .xinitrc needed to be openbox-session, not openbox.
