Menu Troubles...

armight01 · 2018-12-22 17:53:37

I edited my openbox menu with the gui editor and now my menu still pops up on right click but none of the entries work. pls help. It gives an error saying: Text was empty (or contained only whitespace)
how do I get my menu back?

You open it with a text editor and fix it.

Edit it manually and fix the broken bits?

Always backup the file(s) you will be editing before making changes.
Just for situations like this.

You already had a copy of the original file installed with the package on your system. You'd know this too if you even glanced at the obviously relevant wiki page on openbox with a section specifically about configuration - even a part specifically about configuring the menu. It specifically shows the command to copy the default configs into place:
