I've broken Minimenu

[Dan Pora]

Whilst playing around with Minimenu configuration I hid all the tabs. Thought I'd start with a clean tab and add what I wanted.


Anyway, now when I try to use Minimenu, it sits there trying to open the tabs (that are now all hidden) and continuously loops. So the only thing it responds to is a hard reset. Fortunately it boots in to the XFCE desktop.


Is there a way to default the Minimenu configuration?


By the way I've installed Hotfix 5 2011-03 from the OpenPandora website. I'm assuming that if it's available under Official Updates and Firmware it's not a beta version (think I read that somewhere).

Minimenu should work fine with no tabs showing; at least, it normalyl works fine in that way with a nice blank screen, but I dunno if I tried it on the very latest build, so I will have to try to make sure


All of minimenus config changes are in ~/.mm* files .. ie: ~/.mmprefs.conf or something like that for the main one. (That being a file in your homedir on nand, since your SDs come and go it has to be on nand.) They start with '.' so are normally 'hidden', but I think Thunar can be tricked into showing them. From the command line you can see and remove them.


Minimenu has a 'reset to default' operation of its own, but evidently you can't get to that.


I should add a 'hold <key> while booting' to reset it, for stuff like this that shoudl never occur, but someone always finds a way

Thanks Jeff. Problem fixed.


Yeah, if it can be broken, I can break it . All part of the exciting learning curve of Pandora ownership.
