I'm beginning to dislike AWN! Help!!!

[argraff]

Okay, I have AWN and awn-curves, and all was happy (relatively) until this morning. I did an update to it, and now I cannot open the preferences. If I right-click on the bar, then preferences, I get a little popup that says

Logout command:
gnome-session-save --kill
Ok Cancel

It's no longer in my preferences list either - what's up with this?

i think there is a way to edit the pref's through System>Prefrences>AWN....... or go to Applications>Accesories(or maybe Utilities)> AWN Manager.......I am away from my Ubuntu Box so i cant be for sure hope that helps

awn-manager

awn-manager

Not found. Maybe that's the problem??? Can I just say sudo apt-get install awn-manager?

Apps > Accessories > AWN just opens yet another bar and the Pref > AWN is what is suddenly missing.

Thanks for all your help, guys - I'll post back if I figure it out.

have you tried that? edit: using apt to install it
Last time I tried the trunk, it slowed my computer to a crawl... that was a while back, but I have bad memories, so perhaps you should try the stable? It works, very well, but there aren't any real plugins for it.

Just did that - it took me backwards (broken packages, we suggest this fix y/n?) and then I realized how useless it is without applets, so I found instructions, did that, and am back at EXACTLY THE SAME PLACE.

Computers are fun, right? ](*,)

awn-manager has been moved out to it's own package, to get it back, do

sudo apt-get install awn-manager-bzr

[argraff]

Did that, and lost avant-window-manager. Tried to reinstall that, and it said I needed libavant0 (?). Tried to install that, and it had to uninstall awn-manager-bzr.

:confused:

I've uninstalled it all (I think). I'll try again later. In the meantime, I'd love for an explanation of what each piece is so I understand what they do and how they interact. Is there somewhere that I can read about it?

Many thanks - it looks cool, but I might be too dumb to install it! :)

For some reason the latest update broke the settings manager. I don't really know what to tell you except maybe to go to one of the older versions for the time being and watch for updates to the bzr version.......

I too couldn't open awn-manager today after the update, but after installing awn-manager-bzr from the repository all was fine again.

Hope you get yours fixed mate, else try a complete reinstall of it.

Thanks everyone - I think I'm going to wait a bit and do it fresh later. Gotta get back to that "work" thing...
