After experimenting and researching, it appears that the user profile named "User" was corrupted. I fixed the issue by creating a new user and copying their files from the .config folder in their user folder. I then deleted the secondary account.

Did it on two other ones this morning (3/3/2018 <9am EST) without issue and two yesterday (3/2/2018) without issue. I installed Lubuntu on a HP G71 Notebook PC originally running Windows 7 something prior to 2pm EST. First issue was that the file system was reported to be a read only file system. I fixed this by running a manual fsck. After that, when I booted the computer, the first thing to pop up when I log in is an error message which says: Title=Openbox Syntax Error Error=One or more XML errors were found while parsing the Openbox configuration files. See stdout for more information. The last error seen was in file "/home/user/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml" line 1, with message: Document is empty Not sure what stdout is, but when I find out I will add the information concerning it to the comments. From looking at previous expired bug reports, this file (which is empty) is used for storing the actions of keyboard shortcuts, which don't work because the file is empty. The Ubuntu release is 17.10. Everything is up to date but I don't know which version of the package I am using.
