i've installed AWN form synaptic and it was OK. then i've added the below lines in the sources.list

#FILE: /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/reacocard-awn/ubuntu gutsy main

plus i've write the below cammand in the terminal

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install awn-core-applets-bzr

after typing the command, i can see some processing in the terminal.
And now i can no more find AWN in the application and neither in system->preferences.

well awn should be automitically in the repos.
Unless you removed something essential from your sources.list then it should be ok

Try the Synaptic package manager
and search for : awn

thanks to come for help stevoo, but then what next?
when type awn in synaptic i can see that awn-core-applets-bzr is marked as installed, but awn-manager and awn-manager-bzr is unmarked.
please give step by step instructions. i'm new to ubuntu.

[stevoo]

you need awn-manager-bzr installed so tick that one and istall it

after that check in Applications -> accesories

You will find a new Icon Avant Windows Navigator
Click on that and the awn will open on the bottom.

You can go into the properties if you right click on the AWN canvas and select preferences.

AWN can even be installed from the "Add/Remove" menu:

Applications > Add/Remove... > select 'Show: All available applications' > search for 'Avant' > check the box next to AWN > Apply Changes > Close

Replace the repository, and reinstall AWN.

Just undo all the changes you've sofar made to your 'sources.list' and bring it back to where it was before.

you can install AWN easily from this graphical install software....download it here: http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Syste...ix-39892.shtml

AWN is not only in the repos, it's listed in the 'Add/Remove...' dialog. Give me one good reason for why you'd need another installer???

Can you say "simple"?

Tells us if you can run it doing this:

Press Alt-F2, and in the box write: avant-window-navigator

And press "Run".

Tells us if it runs by doing that.
