That looks right. Honestly, I have no idea what's wrong. Try changing the font to something else. Run xfontsel to find other fonts.

Personally, I think that it has something to do with locale settings. The system is in English, I am using a Danish keyboard, and the locale I set when I installed the system was I believe en_DK. I am for some reason never able to set a working Danish keyboard layout at install and have to reset the layout at first boot. Never had a problem with other versions of Salix, but this time there was a little error that kicked-up in that connection. Do you want to look at the logs?

Well, I have looked in the log files, but couldn't find anything relevant. Is there a recommendation for changing the font in "menu.sh"?

You can try to remove the
Code: Select all
-font \
-xos4-terminus-medium-r-normal--12-120-72-72-c-60-iso8859-1 \
part completely out. It would revert to the default font, I don't even remember what that is.
You can also try running a simple ratmenu command from a terminal and see what happens, one like this maybe:

No luck, it still refuses to work.

Really no idea then. If you say you haven't removed anything from a default installation, then I cannot explain this. Maybe if you're right about this being a locale thing, you could try setting it to en_US.utf8 and see if it works.

Is there a way I can do that from the command line?
