[SOLVED] Suggestions in dmenu disappeared

Suddenly the suggestions after every keystroke in dmenu disappeared. I am not sure what happened. However if I type the name of the program and hit enter, the program starts.

Re: [SOLVED] Suggestions in dmenu disappeared

Does it work properly if you execute

dmenu_run

from within a terminal?

Also, I'm deleting the duplicate post; don't worry.

Tried but not working.. Should I restart the computer after the execution?

Re: [SOLVED] Suggestions in dmenu disappeared

Have you got a ~/.cache/dmenu_run file?

Is it empty/corrupted? If yes, delete it and run dmenu_run again.

Yes, it was empty. So I deleted and ran dmenu_run again.

toor@linux:~$ dmenu_run
toor@linux:~$ /home/toor/.cache/dmenu_run: No such file or directory
/bin/bash: line 1: [: missing `]'

toor@linux:~$ 

Its working now... Thanks a lot!
