fluxbox does not load menus on right click on 7.10 server install

[ray.voelker]

Binary package hint: fluxbox

After installing Ubuntu 7.10 Server Edition, and then installing x-window-system and fluxbox through apt, it brings up fluxbox just fine, but it fails to load default information to draw the menus. It appears to be a problem in the default "fluxbox-menu" include that places in ~/.fluxbox/menu

There must be a syntax error in that include, but I haven't had a chance to track it down. Replacing the include menu list with one of my own "fixed" my problem, but new apps must be manually entered into the list by hand each time.

Could someone please confirm this in fluxbox?

it's true.

i had the same thing on my t60 with ubuntu gutsy. Fluxbox hasn't got the menu.

I haven't fixed the prob, but it seems to be a wrong path! to the menu! Simply take another menu and replace it.

Hello again....

tilly again...

there is a mistake in the path of the fluxbox menu. I temorarily solved the problem doin' thin.

1. Do a "sudo update-menus" (this is Updating your menu file)

2. Go to your fluxbox home directory for example ( /home/phil/.fluxbox)
    there you have to modify one of the last lines by doing so: [include] (/etc/X11/fluxbox/fluxbox-menu) (or the path where it's stored on your comp)

3. If you don't understand something .... ask me :

4. And give me a reply please if it solved your problem ! Hopefully this thing will be fixed soon
