Solved TCE "3.x": Openbox /usr/local/tc.openbox.xml empty Apps Menu

[linuxhelp]

Older Thinclient 3.8.4 cause Xorg 7.4

the script "/usr/local/bin/openbox_initmenu" does write the

/usr/local/tc.openbox.xml file,

Dump:

Code: [Select]

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<openbox_menu xmlns="http://openbox.org/3.4/menu">
<menu id="apps-menu" label="Applications">
<!-- END_TCE -->
</menu>
</openbox_menu>
no Apps..can be seen between App../menu lines!

Solution found a old Script from 2011 TCE with openbox desktop, run after:

$ "tce-load -wi program-name-you-install && sudo sh /home/tc/menu.sh&&filetool.sh -b"

Description:
Step1: install Program Extension
Step2: force update Openbox-Menu,
Step3 :Backup Home

hope this may help someone..

Might be more helpful if you would add a notion of "3.x" to topic
