Subject: fluxbox: Fluxbox menu integration on the fritz
Package: fluxbox
Version: 1.0.0+deb1-5
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
I have installed fluxbox to switch to that window manager (from Gnome) but the
I found the menu empty. I was initially unable to do *anything* in fluxbox was
was able to start a terminal/web browser from a virtual console. After
extensive googling and searching I managed to tweak my fluxbox configs to get a
menu with the following entries:
Configuration
Styles
Workspaces
Reconfigures
Restart
Exit
No Applications, Games, etc. The following places seem to have inaccurate
documentation:
http://wiki.debian.org/FluxboxMenu
This page says to gunzip and run fluxbox-generate_menu, which does not seem to
exist.
I also found inaccurate information here:
/usr/share/doc/fluxbox/README.Debian
It says:
------------
Currently, fluxbox supports the debian menu system, -however-, to use
user-menus, you need to alter the ~/.fluxbox/init file.
For using debian-menu You should set in Your ~/.fluxbox/init the
session.menuFile option into value:
session.menuFile: ~/.fluxbox/fluxbox-menu
- if You want to manage the menu by starting update-menus by user
session.menuFile: /etc/X11/fluxbox/fluxbox-menu
- if You want to see the menu that is refreshed automatically as
soon as programs are installed/deleted.
You may also copy the file /etc/X11/fluxbox/fluxbox.menu-user
into Your directory ~/.fluxbox and edit it additionally.
---------------
These steps didn't work for me.
The way I eventually solved my problem was by following the steps outlined in
the now-closed bug #293755
Specifically, I added the line "[include] (~/.fluxbox/menudefs.hook)" to my
~/.fluxbox/menu file.
Unless I'm missing something pretty big here, either this bug should be
reopened until this line gets to the right place automagically, or the
documentation should be modified to include this step.
Thanks go out to <schoinobates> in #debian who assisted me in narrowing down the
problem and pointed me to the bug reporting tool. Feel free to contact me with
any further questions.
Thanks!
-Carl
