[NetBSD] fluxbox-generate_menu doesn't work

This is an issue mainly on NetBSD , looks like a bug since 2009? I bet that not even it's maintainer does not use this window manager - well well no surpices if some people hate BSD's , primadonna maintainers that usually boot to windoze...

how to fix it:

  • edit the /usr/pkg/bin/fluxbox-generate_menu as root
  • at the line 1223 there is :    USERFLUXDIR="\${HOME}....... 
  • remove the \ before the ${HOME}

"lean" debian? ... try NakeDeb

nakeDeb is a french* Debian based derivative distribution intended to deliver an ultra-minimal debian installation allowing you to quickly install a working system or use it as a lightweight live backup.


*fear not, the distro is way useful for non-French speakers , like me. It is in fact my main OS on the PC , at least not the crap-o-bloat of Gnome/KDE , Fluxbox is bit ancient here - 1.3.5 from... 2011 ! the "latest"  one is 1.3.7 (2015? IIRC)  not that much of difference as no super-duper new features are there.

Feel free to install - play and customise this gem!
