Hello. Recently installed obmenu-generator but when im in terminal and use the command: obmenu-generator -s for a static menu i get: bash: /usr/bin/obmenu-generator: Permission denied .

With sudo im getting: sudo: obmenu-generator: command not found

What's the fix here?

Thank you.

I was using obmenu-generator recently and followed this guide;
http://lxlinux.com/obmenu-generator.html

Maybe you need this?

 sudo chmod 777 /usr/bin/obmenu-generator

I install obmenu-generator from the link that mrneilypops provided and now im getting this error:

Can't open file '/home/playah/.config/openbox/menu.xml' for write: Permission denied at /usr/bin/obmenu-generator line 387.

@playah:

Did you try the suggestion given by @mrneilypops in post #2?

sudo chmod 777 /usr/bin/obmenu-generator

Try generating your static menu with the command:

obmenu-generator -s -c

Otherwise, try changing permissions in /etc/xdg/openbox and ~/.config/openbox. I have never used obmenu-generator to generate a static menu. It is much easier and lighter to just use the openbox menu.xml with submenus. See Lxlinux-After Openbox for details.
