No Debian menu in Openbox after Testing upgrade - Fixed
No Debian menu in Openbox after Testing upgrade - Fixed
After doing a aptitude full-upgrade I no longer have the Debian menu showing in the Openbox menu. According to Obmenu, Debian is listed; it's just not showing when I right click. The upgrade brought a new version of Openbox so I assume that has something to do with it. Has anyone else seen this? Any fix?

Thanks.
Does anyone know how Obmenu calls the Debian menu? It should look for /var/lib/openbox/debian-menu.xml (I think). For some reason, it's not doing it.

Code: Select all
~/.config/openbox/menu.xml
Code: Select all
<menu id="Debian"/>
Re: No Debian menu in Openbox after Testing upgrade
That's what I have. I have Fluxbox and Icewm on this machine and they both call up the Debian menu properly. Openbox does not. Something got lost in this last upgrade.bmc5311 wrote:look for:Code: Select all

You could try the following and see if it brings it back -Bulkley wrote:That's what I have. I have Fluxbox and Icewm on this machine and they both call up the Debian menu properly. Openbox does not. Something got lost in this last upgrade.bmc5311 wrote:look for:Code: Select all

First: Back up your ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml file
Then -
Code: Select all
aptitude remove obmenu
aptitude purge ~c
aptitude install obmenu

Bingo! That worked. I didn't even have to remove Obmenu. As soon as I started moving my favourites across I ran into syntax errors. I've had my old menu for several years now and the syntax has changed. I have to add favourites one at a time the hard way. That should keep me busy for a while. At least my Debian menu is back.bmc5311 wrote:You could try the following and see if it brings it back -

Thanks for the help.

I had the same problem, but I didn't get any syntax errors.
I just noticed that the menu id of the menu defined in /var/lib/openbox/debian-menu.xml is now /Debian instead of Debian. I updated ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml accordingly, and it works now.
