[gnome] AWN for Jaunty 9.04

[m3alnemer]

Hello!

I have been trying to install Avant Windows Navigator for Jaunty, but it won't accept Hardy's source.

and it gives "Broken Package" in the terminal when i want to install it.

Any Idea?

here's the source for AWN, (jaunty)
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/...ndow-navigator

If you want to install AWN do this:

1. Type this in the terminal:

   sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

   And enter your password.
2. Than add

   deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/awn-testing/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

   and

   deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/awn-testing/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

   to the list and save it.
3. And now just enter

   sudo apt-get update

   and

   sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator-trunk awn-manager-trunk awn-extras-applets-trunk

And your done.

But if you want to install Cairo-Dock than do this:

1. Go to this page and download the latest (probably stable) .deb files.
2. First run the cairo-dock_v...... file and then the cairo-dock-plug-ins...... file and install them.

And your done (again).

use synaptic... worked for me! just search for awn (click on the search button, don't do a quick search), and it should have all the core packages and extras.
