No right click menu in openbox

mwknowles92 · 2010-10-15 02:30:09

I was editing my menu with obmenu and after I hit save, right clocking the desktop no longer brought up the menu. Right clicking applications DOES work so it's not a problem with my mouse or drivers. I had also edited my rc.xml and autostart.sh but I can't think of what I could have messed up.
Anyways, now that I cant right click, I cant open a terminal or browser or anything. A reboot did nothing.
So, is there any way to open my terminal (xterm) with a keybind or something? Also any idea on how to get my desktop right click menu back?

It sounds like a badly formed xml file (but I seem to remember that showing a warning). In any event, if you haven't set up key binds to launch apps like a terminal, you can always edit the file(s) in TTY1-6

How do I get to a different TTY though? Unfortunately my machine has a modified /etc/inittab to boot straight to x without logging in. Ugh.

Ctrl-Alt-F{1-6} will take you to a console. From there you can edit your rc or menu.xml (or replace them with the defaults) to get back to a working OB.

Try to run from the console : openbox --reconfigure
It could give you indications about your problem.
