[Solved] openbox/xfce 14.1 lost/missing openbox menu

[chazbroam]

I have this tablet/hybrid (older tablet with a built in stylus and attachable keyboard), which I put Salix Xfce 14.1 on (for my daughter), and then added with Gslapt practically all the OpenBox/LXDE packages (for myself). It doesn't seem to have the Salix Openbox menu that is on my other desktop. Is there a way to generate it? Am I missing a package? I would like to enable the compositor (and a slew of other things), which was a menu item for the OpenBox menu. I am a big tweaker, coming from Slackware official. I really do not want to hand edit OpenBox's menu file. I know how, but that would be so tedious. Currently I am using menumaker, which is not the same thing.

Thanks for your help (especially you, Gapan).

The menu in the openbox edition is provided by the fbpanel package.

The menu in the openbox edition is provided by the fbpanel package.

This the right click OpenBox menu, not the fbpanel menu -- right?

[chazbroam]

Code: Select all

cbroam[~]$ sudo slapt-get --search fbpanel
Password:
fbpanel-6.1-i486-4dj [inst=yes]: fbpanel (panel application)

fbpanel is installed (but I am using tint2).

No, fbpanel provides the panel, with the menu, at the bottom of the screen. The right click menu is provided by openbox itself.

Code: Select all

cbroam[~]$ sudo slapt-get --search fbpanel
Password:
fbpanel-6.1-i486-4dj [inst=yes]: fbpanel (panel application)

fbpanel is installed (but I am using tint2).

Then if you want to have the same panel and menu as the openbox edition, you need to use fbpanel instead of tint2.

I am talking about the right click OPENBOX MENU, and -- no -- it is different than Slackware's OpenBox menu. It uses XDG I think a lot more. There is a menu within a menu on Salix's OpenBox (right-click) menu.

I am not talking about fbpanel's menu at all. I need help replacing a lost OpenBox right click menu.

Ah, ok. You can install the user-settings-openbox package and look in /etc/skel/.config/openbox. You can copy those files in the respective location in your home dir. If you create a new user, these will apply by default.

Thanks, Gapan. That hit the spot.
