okay, but where should i paste all of that, in what file?That is your fluxbox menu, it goes in the fluxbox directory:
/usr/home/username/.fluxbox
But you'll have to make hidden files/folders visible through your file manager. The period before it desiginates it as a hidden folder.
okay im going to keep you updated if it worked.There will be a file named menu.
edited it but didnt workThere will be a file named menu.
i kinda did all of the steps already, is there any other fix?Here's the link but editing the fluxbox menu isn't included in it. Just paste the part I provided into yours in the same place it begins.
Beginners Guide - How To Set Up A FreeBSD Desktop From Scratch
I'm going to guide you though the process of getting a fully functional FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE desktop up and running, complete with system files and security settings, step-by-step as if you've never used UNIX or the command line. Now let's get started: Insert your boot media and at the Welcome...forums.freebsd.org
fluxbox-generate_menu
That sounds like you're still on the default TWM window manager, not Fluxbox.
i just type xstart and fluxbox opens because if i just type fluxbox it says Error : Couldn't connect to XServer passing null displayHow do you start Fluxbox anyway?
Via .xinitrc or do you use a display manager?
I guess this is a typo? You normally usexstart
startx
exec startfluxbox
Please teach the user who asks you how to proceed to generate the menu, how to proceed to add direct links to the fluxbox monitor, how to create icons in the taskbar, how to generate the icons in the fluxbox menu, if possible, do it in a file and leave it here, so there will be users who want to learn and use fluxbox. The guide is very outdated from years long ago behind.There will be a file named menu.
Why don't you write an updated one? Yes, it's a bit old now but at least Trihexagonal took the time and put in the effort to write it in the first place.The guide is very outdated from years long ago behind.
I would gladly do it if I had idea.Why don't you write an updated one? Yes, it's a bit old now but at least Trihexagonal took the time and put in the effort to write it in the first place.
You should know all about it by now, teoI would gladly do it if I had idea.
Now you've taken up someone's bad habit of telling outright lies, teo, and are no better at it than they were.The guide is very outdated from years long ago behind.
