The Debian Menu

The Debian Series - Part IV

The openbox session only shows a black screen so far.

Since you're looking at nothing more than a black screen, you may be wondering where the menu is. If you click your right mouse button, you will notice that a menu pops up. This menu is nothing more than an example to illustrate the style of an Openbox menu. Since it is just an example, none of the items on the menu will work unless you have actually installed those programs.

Everything in the Openbox configuration is written in the menu.xml, rc.xml and autostart.sh file, located in the system-wide location of /etc/xdg/openbox/menu.xml

Copy those files into your home directory to make it local.


$ mkdir -p .config/openbox
$ cp /etc/xdg/openbox/menu.xml ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml
$ cp /etc/xdg/openbox/rc.xml ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml

Now let's install the debian-menu:

$ sudo apt-get install menu
Restart the openbox.
And we have the debian pipe menu. 目







back : network-manager and repositories.
next : tint2 panel.
