    AARGH!!! Awesome 2.1 has totally screwed this guide over. I'm going to put a big notice at the top, and rework it. Sorry everyone.

    Sorry to hear it. It can only get better though.

    Linux IS user-friendly, it's just picky about its friends.

    Edit: I got it not sure what it is though but now it needs confuse 2.6+ gutsy repositories only have 2.5
    You need to compile confuse 2.6 as well.

    First, get all dependencies.
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall asciidoc xmlto libxft-dev libxinerama-dev libcairo2-dev libxrandr-dev
    Next, download and compile confuse 2.6.
    Code:
    wget http://bzero.se/confuse/confuse-2.6.tar.gz                                                                          
    tar xvzf confuse-2.6.tar.gz
    cd confuse-2.6
    ./configure
    make
    sudo checkinstall
    cd ..
    Now you are ready for awesome!
    Code:
    wget http://awesome.naquadah.org/download/awesome-2.1.tar.gz
    tar xvzf awesome-2.1.tar.gz
    cd awesome-2.1
    ./configure
    make
    sudo checkinstall
    (This works for me in Feisty at least.)

    Code:
    ========================= Installation results ===========================
    make  install-am
    make[1]: Entering directory `/home/lee/awesome-2.1'
    make[1]: *** No rule to make target `awesome.1', needed by `all-am'.  Stop.
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/lee/awesome-2.1'
    make: *** [install] Error 2
    I also included a deb of confuse 2.6 for any others who cant find it. it is in the attachments

    I understand that now thanks for trying to help but I had figured that out on my own I was just having a hard time trying to find an installable package for it and putting up any problems I ran into so they could get clarified better tin the how to.

    Install asciidoc and xmlto.

    EDIT: ... and rerun ./configure.

    Re: AwesomeWM - A Brief Introduction

    With the new and improved 2.0 version I get

    Code:
    ========================= Installation results ===========================
    strip awesome
    strip awesome-client
    asciidoc -d manpage -b docbook awesome.1.txt
    FAILED: unexpected error:
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/bin/asciidoc", line 3947, in asciidoc
        config.load_all(GLOBAL_CONFIG_DIR)
      File "/usr/bin/asciidoc", line 3570, in load_all
        for f in os.listdir(filters):
    OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/asciidoc/filters'
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    make: *** [man] Error 1
    I cant tell what is erroring there is it awesome or ascIIdoc?
    EDIT: It works with regular make install but not checkinstall so all is well here.

    O and in 2 you need to change cd awsome-2.1 to 2.0 and there is nothing to ./configure

    Gigamo, that sounds like "It is so terrible now that it can't get any worse"

    Updated with new install instructions.

    edit: @urukrama - hahaha.... i know what you mean. It's definitely off to a rocky start. But that just teaches me to try and write an Ubuntu guide from Archlinux. Stupid.
