<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>[http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/ fluxbox] is a very lightweight and easily configurable [[windowmanager]].<br /> <br /> == Autogenerating Menu ==<br /> <br /> In Debian GNU/Linux, if you want to automagically repopulate the fluxbox menu, you will need the &quot;menu&quot; package installed. Ignore the version numbers below:<br /> <br /> $ dpkg -l | grep menu<br /> ii menu 2.1.24 provides update-menus functions for some app<br /> ii menu-xdg 0.2.1 freedesktop.org menu compliant window manage<br /> ii pppconfig 2.3.11 A text menu based utility for configuring pp<br /> <br /> ii means installed, and the first line of output shows I have it. Once I found out what [[dpkg|applications were installed the the package]], and I read the [[Manual]] for each of the few, I discovered I could do it with the following:<br /> <br /> $ update-menu<br /> <br /> created &quot;[[$HOME]]/.fluxbox/fluxbox-menu&quot; however I use just menu as the menu file name, so then just a simple mv:<br /> <br /> $ mv [[$HOME]]/.fluxbox/fluxbox-menu [[$HOME]]/.fluxbox/menu</div>
