 |
|
I can't get nano to start up to edit my userContent.css nor my menu.xml. The menu does appear but those commands do not work.
Here's the code:
| Code: |
<menu id="root-menu" label="Computer">
<item label="aterm">
<action name="Execute"><execute>aterm -tr -trsb -fg white -bg black -sh 40 +sb -fn 1x1</execute></action>
</item>
<item label="FireFox">
<action name="Execute"><execute>firefox</execute></action>
</item>
<item label="Evolution">
<action name="Execute"><execute>evolution</execute></action>
</item>
<separator />
<menu id="internet-menu" />
<menu id="apps-menu" />
<menu id="games-menu" />
<separator />
<menu id="client-list-menu" />
<separator />
<item label="Edit userContent">
<action name="Execute"><execute>nano -w /home/chris/.mozilla/firefox/default.udh/chrome/userContent.css</execute></ac$
</item>
<item label="Edit ob3 Menu">
<action name="Execute"><execute>sudo nano -w /etc/xdg/openbox/menu.xml</execute></action>
</item>
<item label="ObConf">
<action name="Execute"><execute>obconf</execute></action>
</item>
<item label="Reconfigure">
<action name="Reconfigure" />
</item>
<separator />
<item label="Reboot">
<action name="Execute"><execute>sudo /sbin/reboot</execute></action>
</item>
<item label="PowerOff">
<action name="Execute"><execute>sudo /sbin/poweroff</execute></action>
</item>
<item label="Exit">
<action name="Exit" />
</item>
</menu>
</openbox_menu>

| Code: | | aterm -e nano -w /home/chris/.mozilla/firefox/default.udh/chrome/userContent.css |
BTW, you could use ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml instead of /etc/xdg/openbox/menu.xml. |

| Using aterm -e causes an aterm to pop up for a split second and then dissapears. |

Try | Code: | | aterm -e "nano -w /home/chris/.mozilla/firefox/default.udh/chrome/userContent.css" |
That may fix it...

| Nope. Aterm still blips onscreen quickly and is gone. |

Make a shell script that does what you want and put it in your home directory. (I use ~/bin for my own custom shell scripts like that.) Then link to the shell script from your OB menu.
Create a shell script something like this
--
#!/bin/bash
aterm -e nano -w /home/chris/.mozilla/firefox/default.udh/chrome/userContent.css
---
Then edit your OB menu like this.
<item label="Put whatever you want here">
<action name="Execute"><execute>/home/chris/bin/launch-nano.sh</execute></action>
</item> |
