[SOLVED] 'How to Edit Menu' doesn't work

ututo · 2016-03-04 22:09:10

Hi Folks!!
I was trying to add a new menu item in Openbox Menu but when I go to

Help > Bunsen Help files > How to Edit Menu

I get this error (file or directory doesn't exist)

Some problem with the bl-help-pipemenu?

PS. I'm running bl-Hydrogen-rc2-amd64 ISO

It seems like you have an old version of menu.xml - the current menu has "Preferences -> Openbox -> How to Edit Menu".

An update/upgrade won't update the user's menu, so you need to...

cp /usr/share/bunsen/skel/.config/openbox/menu.xml ~/.config/openbox/

If you don't want to overwrite any edits you have done, then look at the appropriate sections of the new `menu.xml`, and change any paths in your $USER's accordingly.

@damo, I put that "Bunsen Help Files" section back in the help section of the menu with the last upgrade - it got lost at some point. Agreed it duplicates the other locations but I thought it might help some people who forgot where they had found a certain help file if they were all also available in a corner of the help submenu.

And... I put in a typo - there's no space between 'yad' and '--button' in the 'How to Edit Menu' item. (The other two are OK.)

@ututo thank you for finding this bug!
I'll upload a fix right away, and apologies to all.

Looks like me that has an older version

I did an apt update & upgrade and follow @damo's procedure. Works fine now. Thank you guys!
