[FIXED]Invalid output from pipe-menu "bl-****-pipemenu"

npisanti · 2016-01-27 20:56:34

Hi everyone, after updating my system today i noticed that many pipemenus don't work any more, when i hover them with the mouse in the openbox menu the message "Invalid output from pipe-menu "bl-****-pipemenu" is emitted, specifically all the bl pipe-menus that require "bl-include.cfg"

i've tried running them from the console

nick@gimel:~$ bl-help-pipemenu 
Error: Failed to locate bl-include.cfg in /usr/lib/bunsen/bunsen-common

my but my bl-include.cfg is in place

nick@gimel:~$ cd /usr/lib/bunsen/bunsen-common/
nick@gimel:/usr/lib/bunsen/bunsen-common$ ls -l
total 12
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10824 Jan 27 12:51 bl-include.cfg

Thanks for the report, to The Batcave!

I know @nobody just rebuilt the packages but I'm not sure if it's the commits from 9 days ago or if it's being caused by another package. https://github.com/BunsenLabs/bunsen-pipemenus/

We'll get it sorted, thanks for your patience.

Temporary "fix" to get the pipemenus working again. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

I've found the last good commit on github, which will get the menu working properly at least. However, dialog and update scripts may not work!!. This might tide you over until the grownup scripters find out where the problem lies...

bl-include.cfg commit #97f9a9b

EDIT: there is a problem within the "## Apt-get functions" section in `/usr/lib/bunse/bunsen-common/bl-include.cfg`, which were edited recently. If these lines are commented out then the pipemenus will run OK. ie Comment out from line 292 to the end

Uh-oh awfully sorry about this.
Normal service will be resumed ASAP...

johnraff · 2016-01-28 01:56:47

OK we've found the bug - a missing "then" in bl-include.cfg.
The fix will be in the repos for upgrading sometime today I expect.

If you want to fix it right now, open /usr/lib/bunsen/bunsen-common/bl-include.cfg (as root) and after line 300 add

    then

so that section looks like this:

    if apt_error=$(LC_MESSAGES=C sudo apt-get update 2>&1 >/dev/tty) && {
            [[ -z "$apt_error" ]] || ! grep -iqEv "(${ignore_string:-$^}|^$)" <<<"$apt_error"
            }
    then
        say 'Finished update'
        return 0
    else
        errorExit 'There were problems during the update.' "$apt_error"
        return 1
    fi

Gumby · 2018-03-19 13:46:42

hello my friends. a little help here, i cant find the file to do the edit, can someone help?
x\ mine is wrong in pipemenu recent-files same stuff.

martix · 2018-03-19 14:16:02

@Gumby Do you mean when you go to Menu/Recent Files -> there is no proper output?

If this is the issue, could you check by opening: Menu/Preferences/Openbox/Edit menu.xml if there is (around line 180)

<menu execute="bl-recent-files-pipemenu -rl15" id="pipe-recentfilesmenu" label="Recent Files"/>

this line in the file? At least this is how it works for me.

Gumby · 2018-03-19 14:28:22

wow thanks for quick reply, well the line is there(189) but not working, everytime i pass my mouse it pops up the dialog. can u help?
I just cant find the lib file johnraff said...idk why

martix · 2018-03-19 14:42:07

^Do you mean this: /usr/lib/bunsen/bunsen-common/bl-include.cfg?

I think it is now /usr/lib/bunsen/common/bl-include.cfg.

The place might have changed too, maybe around line 350 - but you have to carefully check if then is really missing.

Gumby · 2018-03-19 14:59:44

yes my friend, i cant find the directory bunsen, cant open... can u paste how you open from terminal?
