Menu bar disappeared (Solved)

[scientist]

The menu bar at the bottom of my screen has disappeared.

Anyone know why ?

It got fed-up - and fled to a sanctuary for lost causes!

You are using a Puppy version 4.x or early 5.x ?

The meny bar is configured in /root/.jwmrc-tray .

Get yourself a copy from /initrd/pup_ro2/root/.jwmrc-tray .

Cause in these former puppies is the jwmconfig script /usr/local/jwmconfig2/panel-buttons :

#111110 Karl Godt: ensure trailing newline in .jwmrc-tray.

Code: Select all

#111110 Karl Godt (http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=71767&start=150)
#ensure trailing newline in /root/.jwmrc-tray
if test "`tail -n 1 $HOME/.jwmrc-tray | hexdump | grep -o '0a'`" = "" ; then
 #KRGensure newline so wc counts the real line numbers :)
 lastLine=`cat $HOME/.jwmrc-tray | tail -n 1`
 if test "$lastLine" = "</JWM>" ;then
  echo >> $HOME/.jwmrc-tray
 else
  if test "`grep -o -w '</JWM>' $HOME/.jwmrc-tray`" = "" ; then
  echo '</JWM>' >> $HOME/.jwmrc-tray
  echo >> $HOME/.jwmrc-tray
  fi
 fi
fi

Add this above code at the very beginning of that script.

I replaced .jwmrc with an older backup and the menu bar returned.

I recently deleted some entries that I do not use.

I guess I deleted something I should not have.

Why did you not said this before ?

[scientist]

I did not realize I had made a mistake.

Have another question.

I made this change, but Menu is not all capitalized.

Why is that ?

<RootMenu label="MENU" labeled="false" height="24" onroot="3">

Just found another solution...

Try this the next time it happens and see if it works. You may have to go to usr/share/applications/ptheme.desktop and activate it...

Then just try to pick out a few different theme's... Eventually I found a theme that I guess rewrote my lost .jwmrc... After my bars returned I went back to my original theme with all intact...

This problem started when I installed java jre1.7.0-25.sfs or when I installed mtools.pet, but I don't know which one... Anyway its fixed...
