 Posted: Mon Aug 26, 2002 8:15 pm Post subject: Fluxbox style menu crash |
 |
|
Hello all,
I'm using Fluxbox, built from the 0.1.10 ebuild. I have an Athlon-1200 system compiled with the default i686-only flags. I've built a custom menu which includes [stylesmenu] entries for both the default /usr/share/commonbox/styles directory, and a styles directory in my home directory.
Upon selecting a new style from my own styles directory, the submenu listing those styles remains on the screen, in the old style, while everything else changes to the new style. This submenu remains stuck: the rest of the root menu will close, but the one submenu remains. Trying to move it or do anything to it causes Fluxbox to dump core. The odd thing is, this doesn't happen with the included directory of styles.
Thanks in advance for any help! |

What do the two sections look like (working & non-working)?

I don't think there's a problem here, but I suppose I could be missing something obvious. Here it is:
| Code: |
[submenu] (Configuration)
[submenu] (Styles)
[stylesmenu] (Included styles) {/usr/share/commonbox/styles}
[stylesmenu] (User styles) {/home/ncg/.commonbox/styles}
[end]
[config] (Options)
[reconfig] (Reconfigure)
[end]
|
As far as I can see, there's no difference between the two. (The bracketing is right---it seemed to do something funky when posted between BBCode's code blocks).
This works fine in OpenBox. It could be a bug in FluxBox, but I haven't found any mention of it elsewhere on these forums or on Google.
Thanks! |

Here's how I just did it without problems: | Code: | [submenu] (User Styles) {Choose a style...}
[stylesdir] (/home/user/.fluxbox/styles)
[end]
[submenu] (System Styles) {Choose a style...}
[stylesdir] (/usr/share/commonbox/styles)
[end] |

Hmm...I tried it, as you suggested, using a [stylesdir] command inside a submenu, and it still crashes. (I have tried re-emerging fluxbox, BTW.) Out of curiosity, I switched the order of the two menus, and now the one for the included styles breaks. It seems that the first styles directory works, and the second one doesn't.
I'll mess with it a little bit, maybe try compiling with different optimizations. I could look through the source code a bit, too, maybe comparing it with that of OpenBox or BlackBox.
Has anyone else been able to duplicate this crash?
Thanks again. |

Do you have read permissions on the directories?

Hello, and thanks for your help so far.
I started with a new menu file copied directly from /usr/share/commonbox/menu. This didn't crash. So I started transforming it into something similar to the one that did crash, one step at a time. I added a second directory full of styles; still no crash.
What did cause a crash was adding more levels of hierarchy. In other words, whereas in the stock menu file I would have selected:
Root menu->Configure->User Styles->SomeStyle
Adding a new level, so that I have to select:
Root menu->Configure->Styles->User Styles->SomeStyle
...causes the crash to reoccur.
So at least I have a workaround now. OpenBox and BlackBox are nice enough, but tabs are even nicer.
With this added bit of detail, would you mind seeing if you can duplicate this behavior? Here's the entire menu, with just enough added to cause the crash on my system:
| Code: |

I tried your menu just now, and it produced the same crash as you described. I'm using 0.1.11, so it's not just a problem with the 0.1.10 version. This is the styles section from my menu, which works fine.
| Code: |
[submenu] (FB-Settings)
[workspaces] (Workspace List)
[submenu] (Styles) {Choose a style...}
[stylesdir] (/usr/share/commonbox/styles)
[stylesdir] (~/.fluxbox/styles)
[end]
[config] (Configure)
[reconfig] (Reload config)
[end]
