[CENTER]_[SIZE="6"]Info:[/SIZE]_[/CENTER]

_What is it?:_ AWN is a compositing dock-like taskbar. It is similar to the dock in OSX, but supports features such as custom themes, applets that can do anything from displaying battery life to showing Dilbert, and much more.

_Links:_ AWN in Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/awn The developer's blog: http://njpatel.blogspot.com/ Official AWN forums: http://www.planetblur.org/hosted/awnforum/index.php Official AWN IRC channel: #awn on irc.freenode.net

[CENTER][COLOR="Red"]_[SIZE="6"]Notes (please read!):[/SIZE]_[/COLOR][/CENTER]

AWN requires a compositor (like beryl or compiz) to work properly.

The instructions provided here install an unstable, development version of AWN. This means that you get new features and bugfixes much faster, but things may break without warning. There are stable packages of AWN available in hardy universe, gutsy backports, and from getdeb.net. If you require absolute stability, it is recommended you use one of those sources instead.

AWN is still early in development, and contains many bugs. *Please* help development by reporting any bugs you find on the project's homepage (see above).

terminal commands should be pasted in one line at a time, unless otherwise noted.

[CENTER]_[SIZE="6"]Installing:[/SIZE]_[/CENTER]

There are two ways to install AWN: from my apt repository, or from source. If you are using Gutsy (7.10), using the repository is the recommended method of installation. For all other versions of Ubuntu, compiling from source is the recommended method. You should use only one of these two methods to install AWN. If you decide to change which method you use, make sure to completely remove the previous AWN installation before following the guide. (see 'Uninstalling', below, for instructions)

[CENTER]_[SIZE="5"]Repository (Gutsy and Hardy only):[/SIZE]_[/CENTER]

DISCLAIMER: I do my best to keep the packages in this repo high-quality. However, 3rd party repositories such as this one are _completely_ unsupported by Ubuntu. Any problems caused by this repo should be reported to me in this thread, not to Ubuntu.

IMPORTANT: I support only Ubuntu Gutsy (7.10) and Ubuntu Hardy (8.04). This does not include derivative distros such as Mint. Though you are welcome to try using my packages under derivatives, I can provide no support for doing so.

Before we begin, [COLOR="Red"]make sure you have all the needed ubuntu repositories[/COLOR] installed, namely universe and ubuntu-updates. This can be done in System -> Administration -> Software Sources by enabling 'recommended updates' under the 'Updates' tab, and also enabling 'Community-maintained Open Source software' under the 'Ubuntu Software' tab.

Now open a terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal), we'll be pasting a lot of commands. Remember, paste [COLOR="Red"]only 1[/COLOR] line at a time unless otherwise directed.

First, add my AWN repo by running the appropriate set of commands:

Gutsy:

echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/reacocard-awn/ubuntu gutsy main'  |  sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
echo 'deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/reacocard-awn/ubuntu gutsy main'  |  sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

Hardy:

echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/reacocard-awn/ubuntu hardy main'  |  sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
echo 'deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/reacocard-awn/ubuntu hardy main'  |  sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

Now update your software lists. If you are asked any questions during this, respond with 'y'.

sudo apt-get update

Then install AWN, again, answer 'y' to any questions.

sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator-bzr awn-core-applets-bzr awn-manager-bzr

That's it! You can now start AWN from Applications->Accessories->Avant Window Navigator. If installation fails, go back to the beginning and make sure you followed all instructions correctly, and then check the FAQ section at the bottom of this guide.

_Available packages:_ [INDENT]avant-window-navigator-bzr - the latest development version of AWN. awn-core-applets-bzr - extra applets for AWN (development version) libawn-bzr - applet library for AWN libawn-bzr-dev - headers for the AWN applet library. Install this only if you need to compile applets from source. python-libawn-bzr - python bindings for libawn [/INDENT] All -bzr packages are updated perodically from AWN bzr.

[CENTER]_[SIZE="5"]Compiling from source (All versions):[/SIZE]_[/CENTER]

[COLOR="Red"]NOTE:[/COLOR] Keep the source directory, you'll need it if you ever want to uninstall.

[COLOR="Red"]NOTE:[/COLOR] Current AWN will not compile on versions of Ubuntu prior to gutsy, since it depends on a newer version of GTK/GDK than is available.

_Avant-Window-Navigator (bzr):_ First install the dependencies:

sudo apt-get install build-essential autotools-dev libxdamage-dev libxcomposite-dev libgnome2-common libgnome2-dev libgnome-desktop-dev libgnome-vfs-dev libgtk2.0-dev libwnck-dev libgconf2-dev libglib2.0-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libgnomevfs2-0 libgnome-desktop-2 libgnome2-0 libwnck-common python-gtk2 python-gconf bzr gnome-common python-dev python-gtk2-dev python-cairo-dev python-gconf python-gnome2-dev gnome-icon-theme python-glade2 librsvg2-common python-gnome2-extras

Now, open a terminal in the directory you want to build AWN in (I use ~/Installs/avant/) and do this:

bzr checkout http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~awn-core/awn/trunk avant-window-navigator
cd avant-window-navigator
./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install

_awn-core-applets (bzr):_ See here until I get a full guide up: http://wiki.awn-project.org/index.php?title=Awn_Extras

[CENTER]_[SIZE="6"]Updating:[/SIZE]_

_[SIZE="5"]Repository:[/SIZE]_[/CENTER]

The repository will automatically keep you up-to-date in the same manner that ubuntu updates the rest of your software. You can update manually with these commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

[CENTER]_[SIZE="5"]Source:[/SIZE]_[/CENTER]

In the source directory, enter these commands:

sudo make uninstall
bzr up
./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install

[CENTER]_[SIZE="6"]Uninstalling:[/SIZE]_

_[SIZE="5"]Repository:[/SIZE]_[/CENTER]

sudo apt-get remove --purge avant-window-navigator-bzr awn-manager-bzr awn-core-applets-bzr libawn-bzr

[CENTER]_[SIZE="5"]Source:[/SIZE]_[/CENTER]

Open a terminal in the source directory (it should have a file called Makefile in it) you installed from and do

sudo make uninstall
sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/awn-manager
sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/avant-*

[CENTER]_[SIZE="6"]FAQs:[/SIZE]_[/CENTER]

Q: Can I put AWN on another side of my screen? A: Not currently, but this is a planned feature for a future version of AWN.

Q: When does the next version of AWN come out? A: When it's ready.

Q: There's a big ugly black bar around AWN! How do I get rid of it? A: You need to be running a compositor like Beryl or Compiz. xcompmgr or xfwm4 may also work, although there are known bugs with each.

Q: Why does AWN depend on so much of Gnome? I'm a kde/xfce/other user who doesn't want to be burdened by all that **** A: The original developer chose to build on top of Gnome because it was what he was familiar with and could develop the fastest. However, there has been a lot of work poured into making a desktop-agnostic version of AWN that eliminates most of these dependencies and will likely be merged into main AWN fairly soon.

Q: Some of the applets won't load! I only get a white line/nothing! A: Several of the applets are currently not functional in my builds. Others may not work without installing additional dependencies.

Broken: standalone taskmanager Needs Deps: Affinity (tracker), TsClient (tsclient), Volume Control (python-alsaaudio), Mail (python-feedparser)

Q: Why don't you support Vala applets? A: AWN requires a newer version of Vala than is available in Ubuntu. That means that I would have to package a newer version of Vala as well to be able to provide this, which is not only more effort than I am willing to expend, but also can interfere with Ubuntu's Vala packages. So, until such time as a suitable version of Vala becomes available in Ubuntu I cannot build in support for Vala applets.

Q: I want my AWN to look like this! (curves) [IMG]http://www.abload.de/img/awnwhe.png[/IMG] A: In gconf-editor, set apps->avant-window-navigator->bar->bar_angle to -1.

Q: I installed from source, but now I want to remove AWN and I have no source dir! What can I do? A: Run this set of commands in a terminal:

sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/awn*
sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/avant*
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/awn
sudo rm -f /usr/local/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/avant-window-navigator.mo
sudo rm -f /usr/local/share/applications/avant*
sudo rm -f /usr/local/share/applications/awn*
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/share/avant-window-navigator

sudo rm -f /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/awn.pc
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/share/awn-core-applets
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/awn/

I have awn, and love it.

I saw affinity is recently released. I tried installing it from that rep but i get an error about libtrackerclient0 not installable. That package is not found in any rep I have. Any help?

I think that the dependency (in Feisty) for beagle is libbeagle-dev and not beagle-dev.

Thanks for the other info!

I had to install gnome-common for ./autogen.sh to work. And libtrackerclient-dev can't be found. Is that what I need to make the file search possible? Cause right now it wont find nothing.

Repos do not work for me. After adding them to my sources .list and trying to install the packages, here is what I get.

cinnix@Jehuty:~$ sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator-svn affinity

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
  affinity: Depends: libtrackerclient0 but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

When installing, one could use

sudo checkinstall -D

instead of *sudo make install*, in order to make a .deb package, which will allow uninstalling with a package manager. Also the system would notify if/when there is a newer version available in the repositories. Right?

Yup, affinity seems to be broken in the reps. Anyone got a fix?

How are you suggesting to compile from source and install using 'make install', and then saying to remove the packages that were installed with apt-get? When you compile from source using 'make install' it is not registered with the system's package manager (apt-get or synaptic). You should use 'checkinstall' as was suggested.

I saw affinity is recently released. I tried installing it from that rep but i get an error about libtrackerclient0 not installable. That package is not found in any rep I have. Any help?

I installed affinity on edgy - I think you need to install tracker first - see instructions here:[HTML]http://www.gnome.org/projects/tracker/start.html[/HTML]

You need to add a repository and install the package libtrackerclient0-dev before doing the ./configure step

Hope it works.

Hope it works.

It's called libtrackerclient-dev

To all those having dependency problems with affinity:

Sorry about this, the debian packaging system got smart and added the libtracker/libbeagle stuff automatically, it's supposed to be an optional dependency. I'll fix the packaging as soon as I can, expect an update within the next 24 hours.

Also, checkinstall is VERY hackish. It does weird things, and its debs muck up apt repos completely. I highly recommend learning how to build proper debs instead, it isn't hard.

@Deeival - Thanks for the tip about gnome-common, I'll add that.

@Saracen - it's just a guide to uninstalling, if you should ever need to. You are supposed to follow either source or repo install, and then if you don't want it, use those instructions to get rid of it. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

Hi reacocard,

You may need to make -tracker and -beagle versions in your repo. You can do this by using the --disable-tracker or --disable-beagle flags during ./autogen.sh.

Regards,

Neil

Looks like you're right. It'd be nice to have it dynamic though. *sighs* yet more work...

Alright, stable repo packages updated. use affinity-tracker for tracker, and affinity-beagle for beagle.

SVN packages will be updated later today.

Installed without problems. First impression (after 5 mins) is very good. I'll have to try this some more before giving further feedback.

EDIT: The above comment was for affinity. I am not able to start avant because I get a seg.fault. Don't have time too look further into it right now, will do tomorrow.

I'm trying to install avant-window-manager and affinity-0.1.

What method of installation did you use? Did you use svn or stable? What terminal output does it give when run? If you compiled it, did it say beagle support was enabled? (after configure/autogen.sh)

It's probably waiting for you to enter your password. It took me a long time to figure that one out!

Yup, was the password, lol. I'm using the how-to located at --- http://awn.wetpaint.com/page/UbuntuFeistyHowTo --- and I'm lost as of Step 4. Step 3 works w/o issue but ./autogen.sh brings up a " notwen@notnix:~$ ./autogen.sh bash: ./autogen.sh: No such file or directory "

Step 3: Download Avant Window Navigator from Subversion:

* svn checkout http://avant-window-navigator.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ avant-window-navigator

Step 4:

* ./autogen.sh

Step 5: Install using checkinstall

* sudo checkinstall

Step 6:

* cd data

* gconftool-2 --install-schema-file=avant-window-navigator.schemas.in

" notwen@notnix:~$ ./autogen.sh bash: ./autogen.sh: No such file or directory "

They're missing a step. You need to cd into the newly created avant-window-navigator folder before running autogen.

EDIT: I just fixed the wiki guide. Should be fine now.

Small update, I've got AWN installed and working, but not installed properly. On the last step of the walkthrough I'm getting the following error, doesn't seem to be affecting the performance of AWN any if at all. Any ideas?

That part is no longer necessary, and hasn't been for some time in SVN. Nothing to worry about.

Most of the issues were with Affinity, not AWN, mainly because of packaging goofs on my part, which have now been fixed. This guide is also more general than that one. Also, I wrote that wiki page. :)

I installed and compiled the SVN of AWN, and the stable version of Affinity as instructed. By the way, this line seem to have an error:

sudo apt-get install build-essential autotools-dev libgnome-common libgnome2-dev libgnome-desktop-dev libgnome-vfs-dev libgtk2.0-dev libwnck-dev libgconf2-dev libglib2.0-dev libgnomevfs2-0 libgnome-desktop-2 libgnome2-0 libwnck-common python-gtk2 python-gconf subversion

libgnome-common doesn't exist, I changed it to gnome-common and it works.

Anyway, after all that work and AWN doesn't run properly, I get an inch thick of black frame at the bottom of my screen from left to right. AWN flickers when I mouse over. And Affinity doesn't seem to work either. Search comes up blank.

Anyway, after all that work and AWN doesn't run properly, I get an inch thick of black frame at the bottom of my screen from left to right. AWN flickers when I mouse over. And Affinity doesn't seem to work either. Search comes up blank.

You need a compositor (eg. beryl/compiz/xcompmgr) to get AWN to work properly, perhaps I should emphasize that more. Affinity requires that the desktop search engine be installed and running. You can start tracker by running trackerd, and beagle by running beagled. If you weren't using one before this it'll take a bit for it to index all your files, tracker is faster here, which is one reason I recommend it. You're right about gnome-common though, I'll fix that.

AWN Works great in Feisty!

...but in addition to all the other necessary packages I also had to install libdbus-glib-1-dev

i install awn from the : deb http://apt.schmidtke-hb.de/ feisty main after installed ,i draw apps to the bar, everything seems worked fine. but problem is that when i restart the computer, no apps on the bar? all of apps gone away, any idea of that?

I didn't see anything close to this, please someone tell me what's going on, I don't quite understand haha.

Here are some screenshots of what I see in various positions/mouse interactions. Picture 1 Picture 2 Picture 3

Here's what comes to console when I try to open Preferences:

You need to be running a compositor like Beryl to get rid of that black bar.

I finally got a hole punched through my school's firewall so I could test the SVN code for each of these on Feisty...

AWN works great! No issues that I could find. I think I had to install one extra library for dbus-glib-dev or something like that...

Affinity on the other hand has some issues. The SVN code wouldn't get through the autogen.sh at all, so I just grabbed the latest tarball. Also, I had to install libbeagle-dev before I compiled the code to get it to recognize that beagle was installed on the system. However, once I tried to run it I got a Seg Fault.

I'll try to recompile it with debugging enabled and step by step through it some time later this weekend when I have time, but was wondering if anyone else had this issue first and knew of a quick fix.

help plz, Nolander

Ouch, that's some really bad dependency hell you've got. Which version of Ubuntu is it? Did you add any third-party repositories? Are universe and multiverse enabled?

EDIT: Just thought of something. Did you upgrade this from dapper? If so, do the deb-src lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list still say dapper? If that's the case, you should just need to change them to edgy, apt-get update and try again.

every thing is right but i still get the ^*^%$

Didnt upgrade. and im using edgy.

Nolander said: every thing is right but i still get the ^*^%$

Hum. Try downloading and installing them manually. Here's the links:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/devel/build-essential http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/libdevel/libgtk2.0-dev http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/libdevel/libgconf2-dev http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/libdevel/libglib2.0-dev http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/libdevel/libwnck-dev

If that doesn't change anything, post the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list

Incidentally, if it's 32-bit edgy, you could just use the repo and save yourself the trouble. ;)

Hi, I'm new so when I searched for installation guide for the avant-window-navigator I found the older guide and tried the install from their post. It gives me a segmentation core dump error of some sort. Not sure what that means, but would I have to uninstall the current awn and try to reinstall with these newer instructions?

How would I uninstall it? Would it be something like "rm avant-window-navigator"? Or is there a solution for this where I wouldn't have to reinstall?

Just wondering, I think it would be cool to get it running but since I can't figure it out I need a little help. Thanks for any info.

Open a terminal in the source directory for the old version and do

sudo make uninstall

Just installing the new over the old *should* work, but it's best not to take chances.

Also remember you MUST be running beryl or compiz for AWN to work properly after you've installed it.

I have installed AWN and it works great. i just have a quick question.

i have a seperate partition that i keep alot of data on and would like to add i launcher to awn for this. i have attempted to drag and drop the desktop icon and the option under places but neither of them will add to the dock. i was able to drag and drop other applications to the dock and even my home folder.

any ideas on how to add this separate partition? thanks.

Thanks! I got it working after uninstalling and reinstalling. It worked perfect! Now the only thing I have a problem with is that the taskbar is in front of the avant bar with my icons. I don't know if this is a problem everyone is having, but I just set my taskbar to autohide for now. It's fine like that. Thanks again for the help.

AWN isn't designed for use with a taskbar in the same spot. If you need the taskbar, I suggest splitting it into two bars, one on each side of AWN. Or you can just move the applets on that bar that you need up to the top panel, and delete the bottom one (you can add it again later).

I ran AWN in the terminal and when I tried to go to preferences here is what I got:

salman@salman-desktop:~$ avant-window-navigator 
/usr/local/share/avant-window-navigator/window.glade

(avant-preferences:7204): libglade-WARNING **: could not find glade file '/usr/local/share/avant-window-navigator/window.glade'

Try

sudo ln -s /usr/share/avant-window-navigator/window.glade /usr/local/share/avant-window-navigator/window.glade

As for the schema issue, that should have been fixed if you're running the SVN version. If you're not using SVN, I suggest upgrading to it, as it works MUCH better.

EDIT: Never mind, not the same schema issue I was thinking of. I have the same message, but AWN works perfectly so I wouldn't worry about it.

Thanks it worked. Now how do I add launchers, remove the text, and change icons? Sorry if that's a lot of questions. Is there a user guide somewhere?

bugz0r said: Thanks it worked. Now how do I add launchers, remove the text, and change icons? Sorry if that's a lot of questions. Is there a user guide somewhere?

To add launchers, just open up /usr/share/applications and drag them onto AWN. Currently you can't remove the text or change icons, but those features will come eventually.

hi guys,i managed to get AWN working.so how do i put the trash icon in it??

coffee-n-cream said: hi guys,i managed to get AWN working.so how do i put the trash icon in it??

You can't yet, but it should be possible in the future.

Thanks for the HowTo, just got AWN up and going with feisty. Works great after some 'make' troubles. Just used the svn for the repo that reacocard provided and that got me around the the make issue.

--Thanks

my awn dock bar isnt remember the launch icons im adding, anyone else having that problem?

I just upgraded to Feisty, and have been trying out the included Compiz. I noticed that unless I enable the cube, AWN only seems to be on one desktop. Is there any way to make it appear on all desktops?

Similar issues regarding AWN losing it's launchers since upgrading to the final Feisty release. Any solutions or fixes for this?

AWN seems generally less stable under feisty. There are svn packages for AWN and Affinity in the repo now, BTW. Just substitute feisty for edgy in the apt line. I'll update the guide for that once I get the stable version of Affinity repackaged.

I'm having some troubles with Avant in Feisty. The black text bubbles that appear when I move mouse over icons don't disappear at all. So if I sweep over the dock with mouse, all the bubbles appear on top of each other.

Also at first the icons appear _below_ the bar. When I click one of them, they come on top :confused:

I'm using Compiz and svn version of Avant. Avant installed with no problems. I also don't get any error messages when I run avant-window-navigator from terminal.

Just noticed that same happens in Beryl, so maybe it's a Nvidia driver issue? I have GF8800 GTS and Nvidia 9755 driver (nvidia-glx-new). Could there be some option that needs to be set in xorg.conf? I already have AddARGBGLXVisuals and AllowGLXWithComposite set to true.

Feisty builds have been added to the repo, and I've fixed a few dependency errors in the guide. Enjoy!

There's a typo in the deb-src line: should be "feisty" and not "eisty" :)

Fixed.

I'm trying to use this, but when I try to get affinity-avn I get the following error:

Hi I am with feisty and a 8800GTX, and I have just installed AWN. I have a problem with the text, describing the windows. the text will stay forever overlaping each other ... is there a solution ?

Remove/comment any lines containing this from your /etc/apt/sources.list

http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42

Then open Synaptic, reload your package lists and downgrade any wnck packages the appear in Status -> "Installed (Local or Obsolete)" by using the Package -> Force Version option. Close synaptic and try again, adding gnome-common the the list of packages to apt-get (I thought I'd fixed that already :mad:).

Actually, I just removed everything and tried again, and it seems to have worked...how do I know if Avant and Affinity installed correctly?

Well I successfully got Affinity working, and Avant is in the menus, but when I click on any of the Avant things nothing happens. Help?

Try compiling it again, and if it still segfaults, post all the output from the compilation here.

AUGHH! Stupid Windows computer! I don't know why they don't have Firefox on here...

Weird; Affinity suddenly has this black box along the side of the search window: [IMG]http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s236/thevoiceless/Screenshot-3-1.png[/IMG] I did just try installing the affinity-beagle package with Synaptic, but because I didn't notice anything different and it needs libtrackerclient0 for affinity-tracker, I removed it. There was no black box before that.

Also, why does it only search for applications? If I type "Shared", which is the name of the folder FrostWire saves my stuff in, Affinity will only give me "Shared Folders" (System -> Administration -> Shared Folders) as a result.

Huh, that's odd. Never seen that happen before. Probably because of the install/remove, try reinstalling Affinity from source (just doing sudo make install is enough if you still have the folder you compiled from before). As for the search, you have to have beagle installed and running for it to search anything except applications.

It still does it. Output of "sudo make install" in "/home/riley/stuff/affinity/affinity-0.1":

Unfortunately, I have no idea what ANY of this is.

Oh by the way, I installed the beagle thing and it still has the black box and it doesn't find files.

YEESSSSSS! I decided to try starting Avant again, and IT WORKS!

Is there a way to remove Beryl and install Compiz without breaking anything?

How do I remove Affinity?

Great to hear you got it working! Once it's compiled, AWN doesn't care whether it's running under Beryl or Compiz. Just uninstalling beryl normally and installing compiz should work fine. Just be sure to turn off AWN before removing Beryl.

rainwalker said: How do I remove Affinity?

Just use

sudo make uninstall

Maybe there is an obvious answer to this, but I can't figure it out. Is there any way to get Affinity to search the entire filesystem ( / ) instead of just /home ?

by configuring beagle or tracker, depending on which one you use.

For as far as I know

beagle can be configured by selecting "search and indexing" from the system preference menu (or something like that, I have a Dutch interface so don't know for sure if it is called like this), to configure tracker you have to edit ~/.Tracker/tracker.cfg by hand

SystemE said: Maybe there is an obvious answer to this, but I can't figure it out. Is there any way to get Affinity to search the entire filesystem ( / ) instead of just /home ?

You'll have to set up beagle or tracker to do that, but you probably don't want to. 90% of the stuff in / is stuff you'll never need to search for, so indexing them will just waste time and disk space. If you have other folders within / you'd like to search, just add those, not / itself.

I got AWN up and running, but only the top half of the dock appears. I'm using Beryl, and when I rotate the cube, I can see the bottom half of the icons. Is there any way I can move the default position up about 20-30 pixels? Or is there any other way I can see the entire dock?

You are missing libdbus-glib-1-dev. It is necessary to avant.

You can adjust AWN's position by setting the force_monitor option and then changing monitor_height and _width to your display's resolution. You can get these options by pressing alt+f2, entering gconf-editor, and then navigating to apps -> avant-window-navigator.

You're a hero. Thanks :)

Affinity still won't search for actual files! I have affinity-beagle installed, but if I run Affinity from a terminal I get:

Is beagle installed and running? If so, does a normal beagle search work?

It is installed, but no matter what I search for it never finds anything.

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables AWN_CFLAGS
and AWN_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I need to pay better attention. ;) ounn pointed this out a few posts back. Do a

sudo apt-get install libdbus-glib-1-dev

and then start from ./autogen.sh again. I'll update the guide to reflect this.

sweet! it's a shame i couldnt figure out something so simple lol.

Oops. I was fixing something earlier today and forgot about that particular falcon bug. I'll fix it immediately.

EDIT: Should be fixed now. Do an apt-get update and try again.

Is there any solution to disable 'always on top' option in avant-window-navigator?

How can I get AWN to run at startup and keep my previous settings from before? At the moment it just forgets what programs I had in it. :confused:

b0ng0 said: How can I get AWN to run at startup and keep my previous settings from before? At the moment it just forgets what programs I had in it. :confused:

You need to put the *.desktop files (launchers) to ~/.avant directory. Then put avant-window-navigator into System -> Preferences -> Session -> Startup Programs.

Thanks i'll try that out :)

Sorry, where is the ~/.avant directory? I have tried looking but can only find a similar folder (avant-window-manager) in /usr/share/ and not in the location you specified. Is this the right place to put the launchers? Thanks

Is this the right place to put the launchers? Thanks ~ in Linux means your home directory, so it's /home/<INSERT USERNAME>/.avant. If it doesn't exist, you can just create it yourself.

Edit: sry forgot to mention, if the launchers don't show up in Avant, drag them to it from that directory. Just don't delete the directory afterwards.

In Nautilus try pressing CTRL+H to show hidden files/folders hence the '.' before the folder name. It should be located in your /home/usernamehere directory. Or fi you like to work in term try a ls -a in your /home/username here directory to ensure .avant directory does indeed exist.

Thanks, that seems to have worked. One more thing - is there anyway to get the app launchers in the bar to launch the program everytime? At the moment when I open firefox then minimise, when I click on the app launcher again it just maximises the window and doesn't open another firefox :s

Oy, I tried installing Compiz (Beryl runs slower and I guess I don't need all the effects) but it had no window bars and stuff kept messing up. I'll probably go back and uninstall Beryl then try Compiz

Does anyone know why this happens? :confused:

andrek said: Is there any solution to disable 'always on top' option in avant-window-navigator?

Not sure, but this may be in 'gconf-editor'. Try typing that in a terminal go from apps--->awn and see if there's an option to enable/disable it there. I'll come back and verify whether or not I see it in gconf-editor when I get home and have time to poke around on my box.

I'm having a small problem with the default Affinity icon, is this because I'm using Xubuntu? There's no drag n drop features in Xubuntu, is there a way to add the launch icons to AWN by hand?

Open up /usr/share/applications and drag the launchers from there.

andrek said: Is there any solution to disable 'always on top' option in avant-window-navigator?

I was able to find a auto-hide option using gconf-editor, but no always on top. Hope this helps. =]

Great Work it looks promising!

Just started using awn and affinity and have a few questions I did not see in awn forums. Trying to get rid of gnome's tasks applet but?

AWN:

1) Tasks I have three apps open. Firefox,Terminal,gksudo nautilus.

. Firefox does not show up in tasks on right? But has popup on mouse-over of firefox icon. . Terminal same thing but no popup thumb. Just says orb@two0rivers: It is a transparent window. . Gksudo Nautilus No popup thumb on mouseover but in tasks on right.

In other words 3 apps 1 shows in awn tasks on right Gksudo Nautilus. 3 on mouseover of icon 2 without thumbs Terminal and Gksuso Nautilus.

How do we keep track of running apps? I mean in tasks applet I can see all apps running at a glance. In AWN I can't tell at glance what is running unless I mouseover ever Icon? Am I doing something wrong?

Affinity:

1) In Deskbar applet I can type in say some music : anna nalick and I get results. On Affinity nada nothing.

Am I again doing something wrong.

The music is on a fat32 drive with full privileges if that matters. Also tried xorg.conf which I also have copies on fat32 as well as default location nada,zilch

2) Why does affinity always close to systray when I am not done with it

3) If another apps is already running I click and go there. Affinity just runs another instance of itself. I mean if it already running shouldn't I be able to click the icon on awn and it opens from the one arlready running in systray without having to go to systray?

I know it is still very alphaish and hope to see it develop more. Keep up the great work.

You know what apps are running in avant because either:

1. Applications are on the right side of the separator
2. An arrow is under a launcher

You mean arrow means not running?

I am sorry but I have arrows under:

Gaim not running. Amarok not running Control Center not running k3b not running synaptic ppackage manger not running

No arrows under

ktorrent running no arrow Term running no arrow firefox running no arrow Gksudo Nautilus running but does have arrow and shows in awn tasks.?

Are you using the svn version?

right click on the dock then Preferences > Task appereance > Task have arrows

Thanks that did the trick.

orb9220 said: Great Work it looks promising!

Just started using awn and affinity and have a few questions I did not see in awn forums. Trying to get rid of gnome's tasks applet but?

AWN:

1) Tasks I have three apps open. Firefox,Terminal,gksudo nautilus.

. Firefox does not show up in tasks on right? But has popup on mouse-over of firefox icon. . Terminal same thing but no popup thumb. Just says orb@two0rivers: It is a transparent window. . Gksudo Nautilus No popup thumb on mouseover but in tasks on right.

In other words 3 apps 1 shows in awn tasks on right Gksudo Nautilus. 3 on mouseover of icon 2 without thumbs Terminal and Gksuso Nautilus.

How do we keep track of running apps? I mean in tasks applet I can see all apps running at a glance. In AWN I can't tell at glance what is running unless I mouseover ever Icon? Am I doing something wrong?

Yeah, AWN's task handling isn't exactly stellar. My solution is to simply not use launchers, thus all icons are tasks.

Affinity:

1) In Deskbar applet I can type in say some music : anna nalick and I get results. On Affinity nada nothing.

1) Did you install the appropriate -dev package for your search engine before you compiled? At the end of ./autogen.sh it should tell which engines are enabled.

2) If you move the cursor outside affinity, it closes. If affinity loses focus, it closes. Slightly annoying, but it does a good job a keeping it out of the way. ;)

3) Affinity doesn't prevent multiple launches yet. Best solution is to remove affinity from AWN and put it in your startup programs, then use the tray icon or the keybinding (CTRL+ALT+A is default) to access it.

1) Did you install the appropriate -dev package for your search engine before you compiled? At the end of ./autogen.sh it should tell which engines are enabled.

I did not compile I installed from synaptic 0.1 svn43. I assumed that was taken care of.

Update: just right click properties of install dependencies show conflicts for:

affinity-beagle affinity-beagle-svn affinity-tracker

What is this about and why would I have conflicts installing thru synaptic? Any help is always appreciated.

Which version of Ubuntu are you using? If it's feisty, you've got the wrong repo. Feisty's only has plain affinity and affinity-svn in it, which are compiled for tracker. As for conflicts, they're supposed to conflict in the edgy repo, since they provide different versions of the same thing, so you only need one. Just make sure it's the one for the search backend you're using, otherwise it won't work.

EDIT: Nevermind, I'm dumb. You're right about the conflicts, some shouldn't be there. I'm fixing this now. I'm also adding beagle support to the version in the feisty repos. Should have thought of that a while ago. ;)

EDITv2: Repo updated. Do a

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install affinity-svn

to get the updated package.

I'm really enjoying the Avant Window Manager.

I have one problem though. I added Thunderbird 2.0 to the launcher but when it launches it also adds one to the tasks on the right so I now have two Thunderbird icons. Is there a fix for this?

Thanks

Thanks! reacocard

Can this be added to the HOWTO?

sudo apt-get install beagle libbeagle0 beagle-dev libbeagle-dev

before you try to configure affinity you need to make sure the user has beagle or tracker

I'm fairly new so this on took me by suprise :)

thanks :)

There is already a small note below the apt line explaining this. I'll edit the guide to make it clearer.

EDIT: guide updated, and I also updated affinity-svn again to fix a packaging bug.

Guys, i'm using the SVN version of this great dock in my x64 Feisty 7.04, and i just have one question, is there a option to autohide the dock or place it under windows, like the Cairo Dock ?

It's a bit anoying having it allways covering the bottom of my windows ](*,)

Just turn on the 'auto_hide' option under apps -> avant-window-navigator in gconf-editor.

Solved the problem :) thanks alot :wink:

Reading state information... Done
Package affinity-beagle is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package affinity-beagle has no installation candidate

Same with the svn version...

The feisty repo has just plain 'affinity' and 'affinity-svn'. Since libtrackerclient0 is in the repos now, there's no need to keep separate versions anymore. Stable affinity in feisty is tracker-only (I need to fix that), and the svn supports both.

Well, I tried it, and I'll be honest, it need a good deal of work before I'll start to use it from day to day.

However, now I want to try gnome dock.

I click on affinity preference and avant preference under system menu, nothing happens at all. I followed the steps accordingly, noticed NO errors.

What should I do? The affinity preference icon is not custom (its own), its a plain white icon too.

reacocard said: Yep. sudo apt-get remove will do it.

If you still want to give AWN a shot, the new thread here is much more detailed: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=385981

I'm very new to ubuntu, got it installed (not the svn version :( ). But it dont work the way i like, so i want to uninstall it. And this code should work?

sudo apt-get remove avant-window-navigator or just sudo apt-get remove

plz help this ubuntu noobie out ;D :lolflag:

p.s. cant test it, because i'm at work ;)

Did you use the repo, or compile from source? Stable or SVN? Also, what output does it give when you do

affinity-preferences

and

avant-preferences

in a terminal?

I can confirm that reacocard's method to installing AWN-svn works. Using Feisty Fawn on the specs in my sig.

Thanks reacocard. :)

thanks for this howto - it's absolutely wicked, ta

So I tried the guide, I have beryl installed and I still get that black bar when I turn on AWN. I tried reinstalling a few times, still same problem, how do I fix it?

Could you try the svn version please? Currently svn is actually more stable and less buggy than the stable version, especially for AWN. Be sure to 'sudo make uninstall' your current version before trying svn.

I've uninstalled completely according to your first post and then did svn for both:

Its working now thanks, just a small issue.

I'm guessing its obviously necessary to delete the default bottom panel, so I did that.

however, the avant bar is always on top. Is this normal? I have firefox open now and it still shows on top of firefox's bottom portion. This is annoying actually.

I actually thought that avant was more like osx's bar/widget where you launch applications from the icons in the bar. Is this not possible or is there some other widget for that entirely?

The bar is always on top, but you can set it to auto-hide if you prefer. Open gconf-editor and check the /apps/avant-window-navigator/auto_hide option.

For launchers, you should just be able to drag them onto AWN, either from the menus or from /usr/share/applications.

Here is something weird I noticed. I dragged firefox from menu to AWN. If I open FF from AWN, it still shows its one icon there.

I did the same with Thunderbird, however it shows a new duplicate icon in AWN if I open it.

Bug?

Serious bug, even after reboot suddenly I'm seeing this giant black background flickering sometimes

I have a small widescreen monitor and love using the dock vertical and on the right hand edge of screen. Any news on when this feature would be implemented in AVN?

Yeah, AWN's window/launcher handling isn't great. Basically, with firefox, the launcher is now doubling as the window icon (middle-click for a new window), but it didn't catch thunderbird so it made a new icon, instead of making the first do double duty as it's supposed to.

TalkJesus said: Serious bug, even after reboot suddenly I'm seeing this giant black background flickering sometimes

Do you have a compositing manager like beryl or compiz installed?

Kent84 said: I have a small widescreen monitor and love using the dock vertical and on the right hand edge of screen. Any news on when this feature would be implemented in AVN?

No, but there haven't been any upstream updates for a while, which is usually an indication that njpatel is working on something big.

I'm using Beryl.

Anyway to place it on top instead of bottom?

I want put it on top too. I have one the same issue reported here http://www.planetblur.org/hosted/awnforum/index.php?shard=forum&action=g_reply&ID=138&page=1&isLive=true

There's currently no way to change the location of AWN, but it's a promised feature, so just stick around and it'll come. As for the bubble issue, I have no idea. I would suggest just following that thread, as that's where you're most likely to find someone who can solve the problem.

hmm got it installed but didnt worked for me correctly. got it uninstalled, will try it later!

but i got something in my applications -> Accessorios ->affinity search, how do i get rid of that :s Dont know how i got it, bt how do i remove that....

This should take care of it:

sudo rm -f '/usr/share/applications/affinity.desktop'
sudo rm -f '/usr/local/share/applications/affinity.desktop'

damnit! i'm getting a big black bar across the bottom of my screen...the dock is there, but not without a huge black bar.

tekpunk said: damnit! i'm getting a big black bar across the bottom of my screen...the dock is there, but not without a huge black bar.

You need a compositor, like Beryl or Compiz.

nope, still not working, not to mention that for some reason both beryl and compiz went retarded on me a while ago and now whenever i enable them the tops of my windows disappear, meaning that i can't close/minimize/maximize the windows unless i'm in metacity. how's that for a run-on sentence?

How do you add launchers to AWN? Or u can't?

I either drag them from the gnome panel i.e. Accessories -> Terminal onto AWN

or i have a folder in my home directory where I create custom Launchers (through right clicking on the desktop menu then moving them) and then dragging them on to AWN

in short, yes you can, just drag and drop.

Hi,

I am not that familiar with unbuntu yet, but what is the next step? I went through all the steps as described, but how can I actually use the program?

Just

Never mind, got it working! Gosh, I'm proud of myself.

reacocard said: You need a compositor, like Beryl or Compiz.

Are the desktop effects not good enough, that u need beryl or some for it?

I just installed the SVN version of avant (how's that for living on the edge eh?:) ) and it's pretty fuuting awesome! thanks for the info!

I just installed the SVN. I deleted the task bar at the bottom of the screen. The question is how do I get the taskbar back?

XTREEM|RAGE said: Are the desktop effects not good enough, that u need beryl or some for it?

Beryl/Compiz provide the compositing environment that makes these effects possible. They do not provide this effect (nor would a compositor need to provide *any* built-in effects), just the tools that AWN needs to create the effect.

ozorba said: I just installed the SVN. I deleted the task bar at the bottom of the screen.

Right-click in some blank space on the remaining one and choose 'New Panel'. You'll have to add the applets back to it manually with right-click 'Add to panel...'.

Easily said than done. I have nothing at the bottom of the screen. I deletede all, the Wastebasket, taskbar, etc.

I had to add the Wastebasket and the Workspace Switcher to the top gnome-panel. Is there a way of getting the bottom gnome-pannel back?

I experienced the same problem the first time I tried (being a noob myself and all). What worked for me is if I executed "beryl-manager". That brings up with menu to play around with all the settings. The one which toggles the window menu bars is called "Windows decorations". Good luck. I also found the Beryl official website very informative about how to install beryl & which packages I needed. (I used the beryl-ubuntu in the end).

Thanks for the thought, but it's still doing the same thing. Since it happens in both compiz and beryl, i'm thinking that maybe it's some setting within metacity/gnome or something. I still can't figure out what it is though.

Linux newb here with a quick question that I didn't see a definitive answer to when I went through this thread.

I compiled from source figuring that it would be a better shot that way, so I installed the dependencies listed in the how-to and then used:

svn checkout http://avant-window-navigator.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ avant-window-navigator

It worked fine and I have AWN working just like I want it to. Basically a single viewport taskbar with autohide. :)

However, I figured I'd clean up the directory so I ran

make clean && make distclean

I *assume* that I'm going to need to uninstall AWN before I update it. Assuming this, will "sudo make uninstall" work for me even though I ran the previous 'clean' commands? Makefile.am and Makefile.in are in the directory, so I believe it will but I'd like a bit of confirmation on that.

Thanks for the great guide, btw. That was the first time I've ever had to compile anything before installing and it went off without a hitch. I think I'll go give Pidgin 2.0.0 a try now.

Edit: How do I change the timing of startup programs? I have AWN added to my sessions but it failed to load on a restart, my guess is because Beryl hadn't loaded yet. Edit2: Oops. It was a simple typo on my end.

'make uninstall' should work just fine. All 'make clean' does is remove the compiled files.

Followed all the instructions on the first post, couldn't get it working though. Shame as I would like the eye candy. Oh well thanks anyway.

I found it eventually,

Applications>Accessories

A little buggy to me, (maybe I just don't know how to use it properly). I'm quite reluctant to delete my bottom panel as it overlaps with the AVN. I found the right click properties to be near useless. Can't add show desktop icon, multiple workspaces, trash etc. Correct me if I'm wrong as I'd like to learn.

It's still alpha software, you should expect bugs. It's also not designed with having another panel in the same place in mind.

You can't add stuff like Trash, Workspaces, etc. yet. Currently, there is no plugin system for AWN, but it is a promised feature. You can, however, find a few more options than are in the 'Properties' dialog in gconf-editor under apps->avant-window-navigator.

jaywhy13 said: How do you add launchers to AWN? Or u can't?

Check your /home folder in Nautilus, press CTRL+H to enable view hidden folders/files, if you have a .avant folder simply add .desktop files or launchers of what ever applications you want to be added, if not create a .avant folder and add your necessary launchers to it. This should get you what you want. Hope it helps. =]

Check about 2-3 posts up regarding my post about the .avant folder within your home folder. =]

I am running the svn vesion of awn. When I run gconf editor, there is no auto-hide option anywhere.

I used to be able to run terminal over another window, like firefox and have the terminal window have my desktop wallpaper show through, with a slight transparency. Now that I am running compiz, it does not do this anymore. I get the terminal window over the firefox window with a transparency. Makes it difficult to use the terminal unless I minimize firefox.

Someone else posted they were going to try gnome dock. Where or how do you get it? I was trying to find that a couple weeks ago. All I really want is an osx like dock to show my running apps, and gnome dock seemed to be something that I wanted to try.

Also, (sorry for all the questions), when I run thunderbird and firefox, I only ever see 1 icon in awn. Firefox is active now, so I only see the thunderbird icon. If I minimize firefox, I still only see the thunderbird icon. The only way I have found to get the firefox icon to show up, is to start avant preferences.

When I right-click over the awn bar, nothing happens.

Thanks, Ziffnabb

Have you tried saving your session after getting the proper application launchers added to the AWN dock? Not sure that'll fix it, but worth a try. After you get your launchers in place go to System--->Preferences--->Sessions. Save your session and reboot. You may also want to close all running ups before you save your session, unless you want those apps to be open when you reboot. =]

Not really. The closest I know of is the StarterBar from gDesklets, but it's launchers only, no tasks.

but after a shutdown and reboot all is well! Thanks!

hello

nice thing. and now i'm using nvidia twinview, with tv out. awn appears on the wrong screen, , i want awn in the middle of my laptop lcd instead the tv when running twinview. and i couldn't find a way to adjust it. neither in the prefernces nor in gconf-editor... as there any?

Check the force_monitor option in gconf, then set monitor_height and _width to the values for your LCD.

thank you very much for your fast reply and the good hint. I followed your tip, went to gconf-ed and checked force monitor option. the width of lcd was already nicely listed, 1280. but this is what causes the awn appearing on the tv screen. so what i did was the following: twinview=(lcd:)1280+(tv:)1024=2304 width. but this still does not help, awn appears now in lcd screen but not in the middle. so i did than assume that awn thinks that the tv is the main screen and intuitively i did: 2304+1024 (which is (lcd)+2x(tv)) and now awn is in the middle of my lcd. perhaps this tells you more. thanks a lot for this nice funny handy thing. ciao

Well I quess i wil ask here since I can't find in awn forums or wiki.

1) Able to turn off bouncing icons? 2) Where to find descriptions of awn settings in gconf? Like Panel_mode what is it and what does it do?

1) Nope, file a feature request on the google code page if you really want it. 2) I don't think there's a list anywhere, but I know a lot of them. panel_mode makes AWN acts like a panel, ie. windows won't go behind it anymore when maximized.

Thank for the response kind sir!

I just installed AWN from the repos, enabled "desktop effects", but it replaces the big black bar with the dock on top of it with a big white bar with nothing.

Any ideas?

Don't start AWN until after Desktop Effects are on.

It's not in depends, just recommends (compiz is recommended too).

It's working fine here. Could you try again? Maybe the server was down when you tried.

i ve been trying since i post here... its not working for me... i ll try tomorrow and let you know thank you!!

Avant WN wont remember what I drag into the bar manually. I read somewhere bout making a .avant folder under home folder I tried that and didnt work... Help appreciated

Avant WN wont remember what I drag into the bar manually. I read somewhere bout making a .avant folder under home folder I tried that and didnt work... Help appreciated

I had the same problem too.

Then I found out, that when you drag a .desktop file to AWN, it doesn't actually copy it somewhere, in its own folder or something. It just makes a list in Gconf with the dropped applications and their locations. So if you remove your desktop icon, it won't be available in AWN, because it just doesn't exist any more.

You can see the list in Gconf--> apps-->avant-window-navigator-->app

I just dragged the application I want from the gnome menu. Those icons sit under /usr/share/applications and they will disappear only, if you remove your application from the pc.

Thanks, works perfectly :)

Im having trouble switching java and wine apps.

For example, I click on a wine app, then when I want to switch to an application that is already restored It wont let me do this. I have to minimize the wine app so I can switch to another app. This happen on the last update of the svn version.

Any help would be appreciated

finally i tried your svn tutorial and this baby worked like a charm :D tnx for this ;D

I followed the instructions at the beginning but couldn't get it to work. This is what I see in the terminal:

intltoolize: 'po/Makefile.in.in' is out of date: use '--force' to overwrite

I see that something is up with glib gettexize in there, but I don't know what to do. I tried sudo apt-get install libdbus-glib-1-dev and to run it again, but it didn't work. I'm kind of new to this stuff. Any Ideas?

edit2: Ok, I just ran install of avant in synaptic, which should be no different than apt-get and it installed and I have the little black dock box at the bottom. Now to figure out why I can't drag stuff onto it. I'm just finding all sorts of problems for myself today.

Edit3: Yay got those working too, everything is good. Program is awesome.

Getting errors when I run ./autogen.sh (using Avant svn method)

conf-2.0 x11 xproto dbus-glib-1) were not met:

No package 'libwnck-1.0' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables AWN_CFLAGS and AWN_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.

Did you install the dependencies? It sounds like it's missing libwnck-dev.

I'm no expert but I think something went wrong already. I still try to run it with the terminal and AWN opens. But when I close the terminal AWN closes to. What am I missing?

Sorry for all the code but I was looking for a post with the same problem as me but got tired in page 13 :(

Closing with the terminal is normal, it happens to all programs. Just either launch it by it's menu entry (Applications -> Accessories -> Avant Window Navigator), or use alt+f2 and enter 'avant-window-navigator'.

Any plans to add a "hide" function?

TalkJesus said: Any plans to add a "hide" function?

It's already implemented, just open gconf-editor and check the auto_hide option under apps -> avant-window-navigator.

Thanks for the help. Is there a way to make AWN not to show the applications that are open? I only want it to show launchers.

Not currently. You should file a feature request on AWN's home page. (Issues tab)

Woul be nice to be able to deifne the position of the dock: top or bottom of screen (and why not sides, tho i wouldnt use it).

By the way, is there a way to get awn to be smaller? I find icons just too big.

No on both counts, but I think they're both planned features (or at least so frequently wished-for they should be).

Really enjoying AWN makes a nice change from the modded gnome-panel I was using before. Just one question though, I installed the svn version from source, so if I wanted to upgrade to a newer release how would I go about it?

Would it mean having to uninstall first and then download the new source files, compile and install again? If so does that mean it will lose it's configuration of launchers etc. ?

Thanks!

It's much easier than that. Just go to your source directory (it has a Makefile in it), open a terminal there and enter

svn up

That'll update the source to the latest version. Then just follow the compilation as normal, starting from ./autogen.sh. No need to uninstall first, although it's not a bad idea. (just do 'sudo make uninstall' *before* svn up, if you want to do it)

Is there any way to get a Zoom effect on the navator?

Not yet, and it hasn't been requested yet, so you may want to file a feature request for it here: http://code.google.com/p/avant-window-navigator/issues/list

Or you could follow de steps described here http://awn.wetpaint.com/page/Ubuntu+Feisty+Repository and just do "sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator-svn". You'll always be up-to-date with the latest development release.

Excellent thanks for the tips.

Don't know, sorry. I use the 32bits flavoured Ubuntu. Anyway, you could just try adding the repo and see if the package shows up...

Oh, and you also have affinity on that repo.....Affinity rocks :o)

No 64-bit, I don't have a 64-bit processor to build on. You could apt-get the source and rebuild it from that though. Add only the deb-src line to your sources.list, and do an apt-get update. Open a terminal, cd to an empty folder, and do

sudo apt-get build-dep exaile
sudo apt-get install fakeroot
apt-get source exaile
cd exaile-0.2.9/
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

that should build an exaile deb in the directory you did apt-get source in. If this works for you, post your deb so other 64-bit users can enjoy it.

Nice idea reacocard, were you just using Exaile as an example? I take it I would use this for awn:

sudo apt-get build-dep avant-window-navigator-svn
sudo apt-get install fakeroot
apt-get source avant-window-navigator-svn
cd avant-window-navigator/
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

cd avant-window-navigator/
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

Oops. I'd just been reading another thread on Exaile, musta got mixed up. :lolflag:

Yes, that'll work for AWN (and most other packages too), although the cd will be different (they'll only be one new dir, so that shouldn't hard to figure out). Just add the appropriate deb-src line and you're good to go. Let me know if you have any dependency issues, I think I got them all, but I may have missed one.

I cannot install Affinity or Avant. I get an error message while typing ./autogen.sh (for the svn version; I tried the stable, but it would not work). Here is the message:

I am running Ubuntu Feisty Fawn. This is the same type of error message I got on both Affinity and AWN. I can't figure out what is wrong with this. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Looks like you forgot to install the dependencies. Here's the apt-get lines for them (again):

I did that and all it says is that I already have everything running the newest version.

checking for pkg-config... /usr/local/bin/pkg-config

Um, why is pkg-config in /usr/local/bin? It should be in /usr/bin.

It has been stated elsewhere that middle-clicking the mouse should launch another instance of an already-open application. When I try this, nothing happens. It is entirely possible that this is because my mouse isn't configured properly primarily because I would have no idea (a) how to do this or (b) how to determine that it has been configured properly.

I did try System -> Preferences -> Mouse, but there wasn't anything there regarding the functionality of the buttons.

I know some people have reported success with the middle-click.

Has anyone else had any middle-clicking problems or is my mouse just being retarded?

Thanks.

PS - Thanks to all for your work on AWN. It is basically the bomb. word.

EDIT For some reason this now works. I did try the gconf-editor approach, but there was nothing there that seemed to regulate mouse clicks. To my knowledge, I didn't actually change a thing. All I did was go away for the weekend.....

Not positive, but this may be located in your AWN prefs under gconf-editor. Simply type "gconf-editor" in a terminal and locate AWN under Apps. Good Luck. =]

russbuss : yep my middle click is launching new instances

also, with the stable version....howto change the height? or specify how many pixels of the upper portion of the bar i want to peek up over the bottom of the screen when it is hidding down below the edge.

Neither of those are possible yet.

I installed affinity from the repos on Feisty and it seems to recognize only Tracker but not Beagle and tracker AFAIK does not index chat conversations etc.. So how do i get affinity to use beagle?

Edit: I tried the stable version and it gave me a core dump..so am using the svn version

hm, it appears that if it is compiled with support for both (as the repo is), it defaults to just Tracker. I'll file this bug upstream, thanks for finding it.

reacocard said: Um, why is pkg-config in /usr/local/bin? It should be in /usr/bin.

Hmm. How do I install it there?

TheFoe92 said: Hmm. How do I install it there?

Well it should already be there. If

ls /usr/bin | grep pkg-config

gives you 'pkg-config' in it's output, it should be safe to just

sudo rm /usr/local/bin/pkg-config

is it doesn't give 'pkg-config', then things could get tricky.

After the installation when i start the avant-window-navigator the bottom of the screen is black as in the below image.

...you need to be running a compositor such as beryl or compiz if you have a black bar

Even while running the compositors like Beryl or Compiz i get the Black bar how do i correct it.

anandanbu said: Even while running the compositors like Beryl or Compiz i get the Black bar how do i correct it.

Are you sure they're working properly? If your compositor is working there should be no black bar, period.

I can't understand what you ask by asking whether the compositor is working properly for me are not i have installed the beryl successfully and its running fine and once i start the awn the black screen as shown in the screenshot appears Could you help me with it. :)

i have installed the beryl successfully and its running fine and once i start the awn the black screen as shown in the screenshot appears Could you help me with it. :)

If Beryl is fine, then I'm afraid I have no idea what's causing this. A malfunctioning/non-existent compositor is the only thing I know of that causes that black bar. Sorry I can't be of more help.

What happens when you run Cairo clock? Can you take a screenshot of Awn and Cairo-clock running at the same time.

Thanks,

Neil

Edit:

Also, I can't help but notice that Beryl Manager is not running in the notification area. I know you can run Beryl without running Beryl Manager, but are you sure it is running? It may an idea to to start Beryl Manager, make sure you have window shadows etc, and then start Awn.

I seem to have a really basic problem... How do you add apps to AWN? Drag-n-Drop from the applications menu does not work for me. Any other way to do this? I realise this is a basic thing, but it's the simple things that are often missed...

Try dragging from /usr/bin/applications, that works better for some people.

it happen to me when I first run awn the first time just run it then open an application , it will create an entry in the board then you can drag and drop any app from the menu.

So there is no way you can't run this on Metacity without the big black bars.

Drap-and-drop should work as expected. I think to guarentee that it works, make sure you are dragging to either the left or right edge of the bar (where there is normall some space), or d&d onto the separator tat is in the middle.

Also, if you are using one of these new main-menus, can you please try d&ding from the stock gnome main menu, or nautilus (/usr/share/applications/), just to make sure it works :). If it still doesn't work, please log a bug report at http://code.google.com/p/avant-window-navigator, and then choose the 'issues' tab at the top!

Well, xcompmgr is an option, but it doesn't get along too well with AWN. Aside from xcompmgr, there's no way to do it that I'm aware of.

I just installed this using the repository method, and it apparently did with no errors, but the thing I cannot find is: how do you get awn running?. Typing in the console avant-window-navigator gets me the "command not found" and there is nothing new in my applications menu to launch it.

hm, nothing? That's really odd. Run these commands in a terminal and give me the output:

ls /usr/bin | grep avant
ls /usr/share/applications | grep avant
dpkg-query -s avant-window-navigator-svn | grep Status

Also, what version of Ubuntu are you using?

Hello, I have affinity-svn installed from the reps. I cant find affinity-beagle or tracker like you said. Anywy, I have both beagle and tracker installed working and running. But, how do you get affinity to work with beagle. I have beagle running..

Tracker works but I find that it doesn't find all my files.

Tracker works but I find that it doesn't find all my files.

Yeah, It's a tad broken right now. Only tracker works when support for both is compiled in, it's an affinity bug. If you really must use beagle, follow the steps to compile it from svn, it's not hard. Just make sure that you don't have libtrackerclient-dev installed or you'll end up with the same problem.

Finally decided to try AWN out. It's cool. I used the repo method though, so I was wondering if there was an easy way to install the different plugins?

Rotarychainsaw said: Finally decided to try AWN out. It's cool. I used the repo method though, so I was wondering if there was an easy way to install the different plugins?

The plugins are all installed into their respective apps or run separately, since they are technically plugins for them, rather than for AWN itself. You can find a list of plugins with instructions here: http://awn.wetpaint.com/page/Dbus+Plugins

When AWN gets its own plugins system (soon!), I will add packages to the repo for those plugins.

Ah, I see now. Thanks. I got the rhythmbox one working, thats all I need haha.

I had avant installed from source using this guide, but then later saw that I could install the latest svn using the repo now posted. So I uninstalled by recompiling and running sudo make uninstall since i had deleted the origical stuff I installed with. I then installed the avn from the repo, and avant works fine. But when I try to run avant-preferences, I get

Quick questions for you guys...

AWN is running just fine - with one exception - I have a launcher I would like to get rid of, and I can not. I have tried to drag it off the dock, tried to remove it via the configure launchers -> remove button, and searched high and low through my system for some indication of where AWN stores the launchers, with no success. When I try to remove via the Configure Launchers screen, hitting the Remove button does absolutely nothing. I can move the application up and down the list no problems, but neither the Add or Remove buttons seem to be working.

Also, I saw a post from Orb9220 (post 123 in this thread) talking about the running applications having arrows under them. The reply post talks about changing the setting in preferences, but I do not have the tab available that is referenced. I installed AWN from the repo this evening, after uninstalling an older SVN version I compiled earlier tonight. Thoughts?

Other than that, definitely loving it!

Thanks,

~bray

Well, seems as though I have figured it out...

I uninstalled AWN again, removed everything that had avant in it, directory wise, and reinstalled. This fixed the issue of being able to add icons and remove the one I couldn't before. However, once I restarted, it broke. Now AWN has a large black bar running across the bottom, similar to if not using compiz / beryl. However, beryl is installed and working just fine. Not only that, but now my screen brightness manager (laptop) isn't working...go figure. Fix one problem and two more pop up =)

Thanks,

~bray

HAHAHAHA

I suppose I should actually CHECK to see if Beryl is managing the windows or not...as for some reason Metacity had taken over again. Switched back to Beryl, and voila, AWN works! Now to figure out the screen brightness funkyness...

Do you have any idea when Neil is planning to push the updates? It's already a month that he announced he was going to commit them to svn. I hope nothin serious happened to him. And that it's just that he's been to busy with his new job?

He just wants it to be high-quality, I'm sure. It can't be easy making your own panel-applet-like system. I know he was having some trouble with the systray applet and ARGB stuff, maybe he really wants to get that working perfectly before release.

guys i follow the instruction it is like this can you help i dont know how to fix this

You have to have a compositor, like beryl or compiz, installed to get rid of that black bar around AWN.

I got AWN working, I was just wondering if its possible to make the icons larger and can you have static icons like osx does?

bclark said: I got AWN working, I was just wondering if its possible to make the icons larger and can you have static icons like osx does?

Not yet, there's a preliminary patch to adjust size, so that'll be available in the near future.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'static icons', could you elaborate please?

reacocard said: Not yet, there's a preliminary patch to adjust size, so that'll be available in the near future.

What I meant by static icons was something that was always there, say have a terminal icon that is always there. Right now it's only icons of things i have open.

Ah, yes you can. Just drag items from your GNOME menu or from /usr/share/applications onto AWN. You may have to have at least one icon on there to be able to drag it easily.

maybe i'm doing it wrong, but when i drag the icons onto AWN, they just retreat away and don't stay on AWN, also how can I have AWN load on boot?

bclark said: maybe i'm doing it wrong, but when i drag the icons onto AWN, they just retreat away and don't stay on AWN, also how can I have AWN load on boot?

I should just drag. Mke sure you have a window or two open first (so you have icons already), then drag them onto the edges of the bar.

To have AWN load at login, add 'avant-window-navigator' to your startup programs in System -> Preferences -> Sessions

Hey, when i try to install this i get the following error: I can't get libwnck-dev to work. Others are installing just fine.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libwnck-dev: Depends: libwnck18 (= 2.16.1-0ubuntu1.1) but 2.18.0-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

And then ofcourse i get an error when i do the makefile thingie

No package 'libwnck-1.0' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables AWN_CFLAGS
and AWN_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

It's a problem with your repositories. Perhaps a third-party repo screwed it up, or you don't have all that you need in your list. Make sure there are deb and deb-src lines for all the ubuntu repos, with all components enabled. In it's simplest form, that would look something like this:

## Ubuntu
deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/ feisty main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/ feisty main restricted universe multiverse

## Updates
deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/ feisty-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/ feisty-updates main restricted universe multiverse

## Backports
deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/ feisty-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/ feisty-backports main restricted universe multiverse

## Security
deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/ feisty-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/ feisty-security main restricted universe multiverse

adjust your sources.list accordingly, apt-get update and try again. If that doesn't fix it, it's a problem with some unofficial repo you've added, so you'd have to find out which, remove it and downgrade libwnck et al. to the Ubuntu versions.

Today's update has caused my AWN to become unresponsive (ie it doesn't show apps or launchers).

I've removed ~/.awn and done a gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/avant-window-navigator but no luck. Any ideas?

you have to launch the applet manager application, then add the applet "Launcher/Taskmanager". This will add the launchers and the window list.

You can launch this applicaiton by entering "avant-applets" in a terminal"

Please make this thread a sticky, it helps _A LOT._

Heh, neil just said today he was going to get the patch for that merged in soon.

Ive got a problem with Avant. The first time I used Avant, I added my icons (firefox, word, etc.) and added avant to sessions in order for it to make it start as default.

The next time I log in, avant has only one icon in it (word), and in the option configure launchers, it's the only one to show up. So I add the Icons that are missing. But after that, I check in Configure Launchers, and I find that each program is repeated at least once (having 3 firefoxes, 2 aMSN, 2 Gweled, but only one Open Office Word etc.) but in avant there are only 4 icons (firefox, aMSN, Gweled and Word.) I close that avant dock, and reopen it through Applicatons>Accesories>Avant Window Navigator, and I have the 3 firefoxes, the 2 aMSN, etc. So I remove the duplicated icons, by the option Mouse Right Click>Remove, because i can't do it in the configure launchers panel. I check the configure launchers panel, and the next thing I know is that again only the OOW launcher appears there, and probably when I log in again it will be the only one there. I try to add launchers through that panel, but I can't. I can neaither remove launchers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I have a question about affinity...i got it to install and i can run it from the accessories menu, but it doesn't seem to be linked to my beagle search (which I've had installed for a while now) ... no matter what I search it comes up blank so I assume that has to do with how its linked to beagle... also, beagle has the F12 functionallity which I've grown used to, is it possible to have affinity take over this role so that when i hit F12 affinity comes up instead?

So far I'm loving both AWN and the look of affinity...thanks for the guide!

You have to drag from the menu or from /usr/share/applications. AWN just links to the launcher you give, so the original has to be there.

dannymichel said: OMG are you teasing!?

No firm date, but given that he's committing again, I'd say within a week, maybe two.

The version in the repo doesn't find beagle, it's an affinity bug. If you compile it yourself, adding --disable-tracker to the ./autogen.sh command, it'll work fine with beagle. As for keybinding, yes, it's possible. The default binding for Affinity is CRTL+ALT+A, but you can change it. Press alt+f2, enter 'gconf-editor', navigate to / > apps > affinity and set the global_key_binding option to whatever you want. You may have to rebind beagle to a different key first, so they don't conflict.

So..... has anyone else had problems with the latest SVN version of AWN? I got it this morning, closed my currently running AWN (which had a memory leak, btw, the longer it ran the more memory it consumed on my system) and launched the new one.... poof.... empty AWN, none of my windows, none of my launchers, nothing showed up in it. Right clicking on it didn't bring up the menu, I had to kill it in gnome-system-monitor. I'm running a fully up to date Feisty with Beryl.

The new one is really experimental, there's a new plugins system which is causing a few teething pains. I'll update the packages again sometime today, hopefully it'll be more stable.

Thank you reacocard for helping me out.

Hey I just recently saw vids about the Kiba dock, should I switch to it? IF I did which problems does it has? How do I install it?

I haven't used kiba-dock in a while, but when I did use it, it looked good, but was not terribly useful, and it had a tendency to stick my CPU usage at 100%. IMHO, AWN is the most *useful* dock currently available for Gnome (some KDE docks look pretty good, but the lack of Gnome/GTK integration makes them unusable for me), especially considering the new applets/plugins system. Therefore, I think you should keep using AWN, but there's no reason you can't try out Kiba-dock if you want to, perhaps you'll find you prefer Kiba. For installing, a quick search turned up this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=268645

Hope this helps!

Ill stay in AWN for a while, thanks a lot reacocard.

I wish I had read your post first. Exact same thing just happened to me. I've come to depend on AWN, and I don't know what to do without it. :( Hopefully the upcoming fix will work...

Although I'm glad it's being worked on. I can't wait to see what will be new!

From user idn:

Fix the empty AWN by entering "avant-applets" in a terminal to add applets to the dock.

I shouldn't have to do that. Every other time I have relaunched AWN, my currently running applications and my launchers have showed up no problem. I should not have to add applets to the dock every time it runs. That would make the program pretty unuseful don't you think? I'd rather just go back to using the standard gnome panel than having to readd things every time I launch AWN. I could understand losing my launchers really, but the fact that my currently running applications don't even show up is completely unacceptable.

You should only have to add applets once; mine automatically start every time I start AWN.

So I just reinstalled with version 0.1.2+svn200706016+3v1ubuntu0 using Synaptic, I think I'm pulling it from Reacocard's repo.

It fixed my problems, AWN is back up and running. Though I'm not sure if this was an upgrade or a downgrade from what Update Manager installed earlier.

Nope, that's not my repo, that's Trevino's. My version numbers look like this: 0.1.2-svn186 His is about the same version as mine is right now (maybe a bit older), but I'll be uploading a new one later today (svn199 likely). My build machine crashed yesterday and I had to reinstall Ubuntu, otherwise I'd have updated sooner.

EDIT: repo updated to 0.1.2-svn199

testube_babies said: You should only have to add applets once; mine automatically start every time I start AWN.

I don't mean any disrespect, but you really need to read my problem better. Nothing at all shows up. No currently running applications, no launchers, nothing.

To everyone else, thanks, I hope the update tonight fixes this, I've gotten used to using AWN and really like the way it looks.

It's an artifact of the shift to the plugin-based system. Run 'avant-applets' in a terminal, add a 'Launcher/Taskmanager' applet, and AWN should work as before.

If that still doesn't solve it, I would suggest posting on the AWN forums, so that the developer can see your problem and fix it.

The new SVN version that was released tonight resumed functionality for me. Thanks.

Hi, I upgraded the SVN version through the repositories. It's working pretty much exactly as it did before, but when I try to add the workspace switcher applet, nothing happens. I was able to add the trash applet successfully though. I read somewhere that this could be because the schema didn't install correctly for the switcher; how would I fix that?

Yeah, it's the schemas, I need to fix the deb for it. I'll try to get that done tomorrow sometime, I need to sleep now.

Not yet, but it would surprise me if one doesn't turn up soon, now that there's an applet system.

I would like to report that there is still a bug in AWN somewhere that is causing it to use massive amounts of RAM. I came back from work today to find it was consuming ~140MB of RAM. After relaunching it, it only consumed ~2.5MB of RAM. Is it possible that this has something to do with the Exaile plugin that displays album art in the AWN tray? Just a thought since that was really the only variable that was changing while at work (I leave exaile playing while I am at work because I have a parakeet.... long story).

Hey Ive got another problem with Avant.

Well, I came home today to find out that avant is no longer working. What happened is that all my icons disappeared, and now I only have a little black rectangle, which I cannot add anything to.

That should clear it up for you. Basically use 'Configure Applets' to 'add' the taskbar to Awn.

You may need to install gconf development libraries, that seems to be causing the issue.

--Neil

nopes.......i installed all the gconf files i could find in the synaptics.....if the gconf development libraries go by any other name...then i dont know...but i searched the whole of synaptic for gconf files...and installed all of the development files i could find linked with gconf...but alas.....no avail.........the problem persists

Hi,

I had a fiddle with avant a little while ago, but I'm without the dock at the moment. Decided I dont need one right now. Affinity, on the other hand, is awesome. A few issues for me though:

No icon: I get a red cross icon when I run it. Is there a way to manually set the icon, or can I drop a file in a certain folder? I installed through Synaptic...

"manage Software" and "Log out" are also without icons. No biggie, but if I can fix it, that'd be good :)

Also, clicking "manage software" does nothing for me.

Awesome work, I love it. Look forward to your reply :)

EDIT:

On other thing, when I search for files that are .odt (ie type their filename into the box) they are not found. If I type odt, the list of all of them appears. This is probably a beryl problem - how to fix?

You're using stable, right? The icons have been corrected in SVN. 'Manage software' can be set to a different program than the default (which doesn't exist on Ubuntu) in affinity-preferences.

As for odt, it's likely either tracker's fault or in how affinity interacts with tracker. you might consider filing a bug report about that.

Thanks for the info, I switched to the SVN, and it is all fixed. I think a reboot helped as well. Maybe I'll give beagle a few more hours of reindexing and see how that goes :)

Thanks again for the quick reply.

jack

edit: if it makes any difference, beagle is finding results that affinity is not at the moment. ie, if I use"desktop search", I get results, but not in affinity...

Affinity in the repo only does Tracker right now, if you need beagle you'll have to compile from source using ./autogen.sh --disable-tracker. Affinity currently can't use both at the same time, I've filed a bug about that.

EDIT: updated the guide to make this and a couple other things clearer.

Ah bugger, it seems the email I got form ubuntuforums cut out the bottom part of the error!

try this:

Open configure.in, in the source directory, in your favourite editor, and on line 34, add a 'dnl ', thats a d-n-l-space, before ALL_LINGUAS. Underneath that, put:

ALL_LINGUAS=""

and try compiling again. I think its either a 64bit issue, or your are missing the necessary libraries/tools for compiling translations.

Those are just warning, avant still "runs".

Also get the evil black box around it.

And yes, I am using beryl, maybe its just a problem with the radeon driver. shrug.

Wish it would work. :/

The last update gave me some broken packages.

Im using synaptic to fix it.

Anybody else have these issues?

I've split libawn out from the main package (thanks mxpxpod!), there might be a little bumpiness because of that. On the other hand, the gconf issues should be fixed, and the separator applet is now available.

Ahh I see! Very nice!!!!

These warnings used to only occur with 0.1. Try this, remove all instances of avant-window-navigator from /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin, and reinstall either the svn deb, or directly from svn. That should fix it.

I had to install libxdamage-dev and libxcomposite-dev for the avant-window-manager installation. I couldn't get pass the ./autogen.sh step. I already had libxdamage1 and libxcomposite1 installed but it seems to need the dev packages(headers).

Where it started to fail for me. Can anyone help please? (I'm on Fiesty 64)

I got AWN working , but have some small problems tho. When i hover with my mouse pointer over a icon text appears as intended but when i move my mouse pointer the text stays there and just wont disapear.

Are there any solutions to this small problem? Been googeling couple hours and looking around in forums but cant find any answers.

hm, never heard of that problem. What method did you use to install, and what graphics card/driver are you using?

reacocard said: hm, never heard of that problem. What method did you use to install, and what graphics card/driver are you using?

Im using Nvidia 100.14.11 drivers , i just followed the How To in page 1 in this thread.. It's really wierd to be honest, only way i can get the text to disapear is to autohide AWN wich is kinda boring coz the bar is so beautiful and i just wanna sit and look at it :)

Im using a Nvidia 8800GTS but i cant really see that it would be the GPU:s fault, Had beryl first same problem, changed to compiz-fusion still same problem but all effects feels faster and smoother wich is a bonus tho :D

Heres a little screen of the problem i have as u can see once i hovered my mouse over a icon text wont disapear when i remove my mouse from it.

Looks like your're not the only one with this problem: http://www.planetblur.org/hosted/awnforum/index.php?shard=forum&action=g_reply&ID=301&page=1&sl=0&isLive=true#last

To quote the developer:

This is an issue with certain graphics cards. I haven't yet figured out whats causing this. The only thing you can do is to use the preferences to set the tet and background of the text to totally transparent (for now).

Oh ok :) well good enough for to be honest thanks for the reply :D

I just updated AWN to the latest SVN version and I was EXTREMELY pleased to find the new applets functionality. Now I have a trash icon happily sitting in my dock. While it might seem like a small detail, this makes me so happy it's sort of ridiculous. But I digress......

One problem that popped up is that the other nifty applet feature, namely the workspace switcher, while listed in the applet preferences menu, does not appear in my dock when activated by adding to the applet list.

Has anyone else had similar issues? Perhaps this is something that is a bit buggy in the latest version?

But, like I said, man is that trash icon sweet.

Thanks.

Anyone else experience this with the autohide functionality:

the dock doesn't unhide itself until you move the mouse pointer away from the bottom of the screen

Is this a bug, or is this intended functionality?

I think you have to log out/in for it to work, gconf has to load the new schemas in.

That's intended.

Yep, that did the trick!

Thanks again. AWN is really shaping up to be the best.

I have been having problems with running AWN and Screenlets in Compiz Fusion. With Screenlets installed, AWN doesn't work as intended. I have a thread going if anyone would be willing to help (I would be really grateful if you did). Here is a link to the thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=482741

reacocard said: That's intended.

The larger problem at hand is that when it's auto hidden, it sometimes won't come back at all. This seems to happen when a window is maximized.

Has anyone else seen anything like this?

nchase said: The larger problem at hand is that when it's auto hidden, it sometimes won't come back at all. This seems to happen when a window is maximized.

hm, it could just be that the maximized window is preventing AWN from receiving the mouseover event. You should see if you can figure out exactly what conditions cause this, then tell Neil (njpatel, the developer) about it, either by filing an issue on Google code or by posting a thread on the AWN forums.

It could be that the screenlet window and the AWN window are overlapping (I know it doesn't look like that, but judging from your screenshot, they are) and conflicting with each other. Try moving the screenlets well away from the bottom of the screen (twice AWN's hieght should be plenty). If that fixes it, it's just because of the overlap.

I got it fixed by using the development version of AWN. Thanks for your reply, though. :)

How may I set up AWN, so that it apperas at the upper part of the screen, instead of staying down? Is it possible? Thanks in advance.

@cdiem

I don't believe it is posible yet, but it may be in the works...

Thank you for the answer anyway. I wish this were a feature of AWN one day, so I can customize it the way I want.

cdiem said: Thank you for the answer anyway. I wish this were a feature of AWN one day, so I can customize it the way I want.

It's not possible yet, but a preliminary (slightly buggy) patch is available, so it'll come eventually.

reacocard said: You're using stable, right? The icons have been corrected in SVN. 'Manage software' can be set to a different program than the default (which doesn't exist on Ubuntu) in affinity-preferences.

I am using the SVN version but I get the little red icon in the tray and no icon in the menu and in the avant dock. How can I fixed them?

You have to install the dependencies first, as the guide says. Run the appropriate 'sudo apt-get install' line from the guide and try again.

When I attempt to remove a launcher from AWN by right clicking on the dock, selecting "Configure Launchers", and making the appropriate clicks in the dialogue window, including "Apply", nothing is removed from my AWN dock.

Anyone have any idea why? And I know there is some file I can manually edit to remove the launcher in question, but I don't which one or where it is. Anyone care to give me nudge in the correct direction?

Thanks in advance for any help.

The easiest way to remove an icon from AWN is to right click on it and select remove from the context menu....

reacocard said: I should just drag. Mke sure you have a window or two open first (so you have icons already), then drag them onto the edges of the bar.

To have AWN load at login, add 'avant-window-navigator' to your startup programs in System -> Preferences -> Sessions Sorry for being dim but can you clarify this? Do I need to put 'avant-window-navigator' in the name box or the command box? What do I need to put in the other one in that case?

andrewsomething said: The easiest way to remove an icon from AWN is to right click on it and select remove from the context menu....

Thanks! That worked like a charm.

In retrospect, someone who actually knows something about programming (i.e. not me) might want to check up on the Add/Remove functionality in the "Configure launchers" menu. Maybe it's known not to work right now, or maybe it's a bug.

Either way, AWN still rocks.

Thanks.

Compiled the new svn, had a small issue regarding the two dev packages needed, but I found the fix a couple of posts up. I'm now enjoying my new AWN w/ trash applet. It's the goodness. =]

It is in the deb as of version 0.1.2-svn214, and yes, it does rock. Still a couple of small bugs in it, but it works well and looks better.

thanks reacocard....does the deb have the latest patch with the icons in the center?

now all we need is reflection and a stacks applet ;)

groo028 said: thanks reacocard....does the deb have the latest patch with the icons in the center?

It has the latest patch labeled as 'stable'.

AWN has really stepped up and become the best dock option for Gnome. It so close to completely replacing the Gnome panel all together for me. Once some one gets a Main Menu applet working I'll be a very happy man. (Battery power, network connection, and volume control would make me so ecstatic that I don't want to think about it.):p Hell, if Neil makes a nice Affinity applet, that might replace the Main Menu for me. (Any one know how to assign a keyboard short cut forAffinity?)

I've seen a notification applet in some screen shots, but don't know how to find it. Is that still just a mock up? Is it a patch?

Once resize and angle make it into the GUI, I think a lot of people who have been waiting will make the jump. The only two things left holding it back from the prime time are the ability to place it where ever you want and a zoom function. Neither of those thing affect me though. I like it right where it is, and I think the OSXish zoom thing is way too distracting. Neil's bouncing icons are much more tasteful.

The new applet system add so much potential!

I've said it before, but I'll say it again anyways.... Thanks Neil!

Affinity is mapped to CTRL+ALT+A by default, you can change it in gconf.

It's a patch, I'll see if I can get it into the next version of my debs. Instructions here: http://www.planetblur.org/hosted/awnforum/index.php?shard=forum&action=g_reply&ID=273&page=1&isLive=true

I think Neil said he'd get zoom in eventually, but avant-preferences does need work.

Yes indeed, I'm just waiting for the python bindings so that I can start writing applets myself!

@reacocard

And ofcourse I should have added a big thanks to you as well, for maintaining your repo and all the trouble shooting you do in this forum!

Ah! Speaking of trouble shooting...

Have you been able to successfully change Affinity's short cut? I've found the option in gconf, but once I change it the short cut will not work. Not even if I put the default back in.

Even before I change it, the error "this key has no schema" is displayed.

Seems like a bug, but I was wondering if any one has been able to change it...

It works fine for me, I have it mapped to <Alt>F3. You do have to restart affinity for the change to take effect though. As for the schemas thing, that's just bad packaging on my part, I was lazy and didn't bother to install them. When the next svn rev of affinity comes out I'll fix that.

Hummm... After restarting, the bindings chage. But not to what I wanted. <Ctrl>Space, which seems to not be used for other programs. Probably a problem some where else not with Affinity....

I get some errors when compiling...

Very helpful thread, AWN is a great application. I have a couple of questions about Affinity, I have installed (affinity-tracker-svn_0.1-svn43_i386). It has no icon for launching, just a square white box. Also next to the search input box no icon just a square box with a cross in it? (there was a reply saying this was fixed with the svn versions), I have tried Ubuntu synaptic and this deb and both are the same. Is there thumbnail support in Affinity as there is in Tracker? Finally, I am new to the whole desktop search thing but can not see any advantage using Affinty over the Tracker search tool, what features does Affinity add?

Where did you find affinity-tracker-svn? The feisty repo only has affinity and affinity-svn. Even so svn43 is the newest, so it should work.

Affinity is still very early on in development as compared to AWN. Neil has posted some screenshots of what's yet to come for Affinity, but AWN is receiving most of his development effort right now.

Here you go: Edgy debs but work fine on Feisty for me.

http://syzygy42.tuxfamily.org/dists/edgy/avant-window-navigator/

It has a missing icon though, all the rest works ok. I have switched back to Beagle again now as Tracker was not finding all the files. How long should it take tracker to index? 100gig?

Tracker shouldn't take too long, but it depends on what data you have. Lots of small files will index much more slowly than fewer large files. You can, of course, compile Affinity with beagle support if you want to use it, but s you noted, it currently doesn't provide much advantage over the default search tools.

Campingman said: I just noticed these are your deb's anyhow ????? Did you not know they were there?

No, I just didn't know you were still on the Edgy repo. If you're using feisty (or even if you're not), upgrading to the feisty repo is highly recommended, as the edgy repo will not be updated.

Thanks reacocard,

I could not get the svn in the Feisty reps to recognise either Beagle or Tracker and the stable version would not work. The screenshots for the proposed enhancements look great, I will look out for the new version.

I haven't the slightest idea. It wouldn't surprise me if it were impossible though. You might want to post to the AWN forums, there's a section for segfaults even. The AWN developer (njpatel) is a lot more active there than here, and if anyone can help you, it's him.

There's one in the repo, you can download the packages directly from this page: http://syzygy42.tuxfamily.org/dists/feisty/avant-window-navigator/

hm, was that a question or a statment? ;) If it was a question, you can change the size by running 'gconf-editor', navigating to apps -> avant-window-navigator -> bar and setting bar_height to whatever you want.

Also, for those wanting the reflection effect shown a couple posts back by groo028, there are packages available here: http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42/static/misc/packages/awn214reflect/ . I won't put them in the repo until a couple of issues with the patch are resolved, but you may use these packages if you want to try it in the meantime.

I've actually run into this issue before.

It seems like your problem lies in the fact that you have two versions of AWN in your repos that have two different naming systems.

You seem to have Reacocard's AWN repo and Trevino's eye candy repo both in you source list. It's not a problem, but can cause issues if you try to install AWN from one while it has been previously installed through the other.

Reacocard's is named Avant-Window-Navigator-svn and depends on libawnsvn. Trevino's is named Avant-Window-Navigator and depends on libawn0.

libawnsvn and libawn0 will conflict.

You just need to be sure to completely uninstall one version prior to installing the other.

Does that get it working?

Hi, Thanks for the link, I installed but it still comes up with all the same preferences as the dock I just uninstalled, I searched and deleted all avant files I could find before installation. Do you know where the preferences are stored and how to completely remove the old version?

Campingman said: Hi,

uninstall instructions are at the end of the guide, to delete the config, run

gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/avant-window-navigator

Note that avant-preferences is the same regardless of the patch, you have to edit the bar/angle and bar/icon_offset options in gconf (apps/avant-window-navigator) by hand.

Thanks reacocard, I did not realise you had to edit gconf. Got it all working now. Wow it is pretty stunning !! Thank you

Not possible yet. Positioning is a planned feature, but may not be implemented for a while yet.

This guy did it, unless he photoshopped it and moved it over (not terribly unlikely).

I don't think that's actually a dock. It's just some really stylish icons arranged in a dock-like fashion. I did find the icons though: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/49978906/

That's not AWN.

first, thanks for your packages reacocard :) now, awn looks nice but taskbar grow a lot when you have many windows opened, is there a way to group similar windows in taskbar applet (i looks like i ask for a planned feature) ?

Not yet, but yes, I believe it is a planned feature.

ok , thx. maybe i ve to find a way to tell to awn devs that it is also a very needed feature :)

reacocard said: That's not AWN.

I was thinking they were just desktop icons, but how are they so small? I stretched them, ironically, making them smaller, but they're still large. Is there a gconf key to make them even smaller?

~LoKe said: I was thinking they were just desktop icons, but how are they so small? I stretched them, ironically, making them smaller, but they're still large. Is there a gconf key to make them even smaller?

yes this one:

~LoKe said: I was thinking they were just desktop icons, but how are they so small? I stretched them, ironically, making them smaller, but they're still large. Is there a gconf key to make them even smaller?

I think they're just icons on a fully transparent panel with a special icon theme.

reacocard said: I think they're just icons on a fully transparent panel with a special icon theme.

That sounds possible. I can't seem to use these icons on my panel, though. It doesn't list any of the icons in the folder, is there a reason why they wouldn't show up? They're all png's.

is it just me or is the launcher broken. Its been like this for several days now without any updates. When I go into configure launchers, theres no launchers to configure. When this first happened I dismissed it as a gutsy issue but I am running it on a feisty machine now and still the same problem, this is fairly annoying because without launchers I end up having a gigantic awn menu. Could someone confirm this issue please?

I can also confirm this issue- when I go into "Configure Launchers" there's no launchers, and I can't add anything. This is using the latest SVN as of 1:30 PM EST.

I'm not using the SVN, and I can't add launchers. On bootup I get a thin black sliver.

On another note, I've been told the SVN version is better to use than the regular.

Yes, svn is much better, you should upgrade.

I just got AWN, and I can't get any Launchers to appear, is there any way to add launchers to the menu?

Drag and drop from menu to bar?

xenoph0be said: Drag and drop from menu to bar?

or from /usr/share/applications, that seems to be more reliable.

Awesome. I got the OSX Leopard-looking dock working on two of my computers. One with Ubuntu Feisty and the other with Xubuntu Feisty. I had the older version on them before, but this version seems much more usable. Especially with the trash can and the workspace switcher on it.

Tried to get this version working on Edgy (my laptop), but I have a lot of dependency problems. Is it possible to get the newest verion working on Edgy? I gave up looking through here and google searches to do some other stuff for a while....

reacocard said: It's a problem with your repositories. Perhaps a third-party repo screwed it up, or you don't have all that you need in your list. Make sure there are deb and deb-src lines for all the ubuntu repos, with all components enabled. In it's simplest form, that would look something like this:

## Ubuntu
deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/ feisty main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/ feisty main restricted universe multiverse

## Updates
deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/ feisty-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/ feisty-updates main restricted universe multiverse

## Backports
deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/ feisty-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/ feisty-backports main restricted universe multiverse

## Security
deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/ feisty-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/ feisty-security main restricted universe multiverse

adjust your sources.list accordingly, apt-get update and try again. If that doesn't fix it, it's a problem with some unofficial repo you've added, so you'd have to find out which, remove it and downgrade libwnck et al. to the Ubuntu versions.

To downgrade make sure you have your repo set something like the ones above then run:

 sudo apt-get install libwnck18=2.16.1-0ubuntu1.1.

This will do the trick then you should be able to install all the recommended packages and compile the source.

Hope this helps

Anyone know how the development is structured? Are they trying to come up with a stable 2.0 based on the existing code, and pushng all new untested/ploished code into 3.0alpha?

It seems like at the moment features are being put far infort of stability. Hopefully they refine the code and achieve some distro inclusion.

There's some talk on this, Neil is planning to do a thorough code audit after guadec, so things should improve then.

Also, I've updated the repo packages, svn218 is in now, enjoy!

reacocard said: Also, I've updated the repo packages, svn218 is in now, enjoy!

Thanks. I really like the new active window highlighting. But what's with the grey bar at the bottom of the dock? Any way to remove this?

@ SQuark - the idea is that the bar it sits on is 3d

Hm, I see. I put the angle to 0 (I keep the dock completely transparent, so I don't really care what the angle is) and that got rid of the line. But now the reflections don't go all the way to the bottom of the screen anymore. Anyway, I've asked at the awn forum, so hopefully, this'll be fixed soon.

Right now everything from that repository is timing out for me too, actually.

Try again because everything appears to be working.

That's depreciated now, the repo has the newest stuff (svn226-0!)

I love the new rounded shape icon hilighting! Makes the angled bar look amazing!

Feature freeze and refine from this release!

You have to set a couple of gconf keys by hand, open gconf-editor and under apps -> avant-window-navigator -> bar,

bar_angle: set to 45 icon_offset: set to 13

then restart AWN and enjoy!

Wow, great work! I love it!

Sweet, I'll give this a try once I get home from work and post my results. Thanks as always. =]

The folder /apps/avant-window-navigator isn't showing up in gconf-editor. What am I doing wrong?

I tried "avant-preferences", and got this:

/usr/share/avant-window-navigator/window.glade

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/avant-preferences", line 274, in <module> app = main() File "/usr/bin/avant-preferences", line 158, in __init__ self.setup_chooser(APP_ACTIVE_PNG, self.wTree.get_widget("activefilechooser")) File "/usr/bin/avant-preferences", line 241, in setup_chooser chooser.set_filename(self.client.get_string(key)) TypeError: GtkFileChooser.set_filename() argument 1 must be string, not None

I tried installing several GNOME/GConf-related development headers, none of which fixed it, on the hunch that a predefined constant wasn't getting passed to the function. What do I need to do? EDIT: Never mind, it worked after starting Compiz.

irideabike said: The folder /apps/avant-window-navigator isn't showing up in gconf-editor. What am I doing wrong?

You have to run AWN at least once before those will show up.

It's been running constantly for me and none of those options show up.

I have a strange problem, my first icon is bigger than the others:

As you can see the firefox icon is bigger for no aparent reason.

I am experiencing a bug which causes a white line to appear on the right of the navigator...I would appreciate any advice you have.

I get that white line when I try to add the systray applet. It doesn't seem to work, and that line is all I see. Right click > applets and remove the applet.

Likewise, I just get a small dot for the workspace manager.

you don't have compiz or beryl activated. awn work only under compositing ie. compiz or beryl.

Same problem here. Also, it appears that the glass reflection is intermitent. I set the icon_offset parameter and it looked great....then it goes away after a while.

You have to be running a composite manage for AWN to work properly (I believe that is said at least twice in the guide)

Ah ok, I'll remove it. It'd be gone soon anyway, I'm getting a new computer soon that'll be 64-bit so I'll be able to provide both 32- and 64-bit packages.

Is it normal that AWN's windows list part uses default icon theme? How can i fix this?

I have my new "shiny reflecting" AWN up & running. Neil really seems to be pumping out new svns like crazy, seems like I have had an AWN update every other day for the past week-ish. Keep it up. Thanks again. =]

Hi,

I have just updated my system and noticed an update for AWN included, I already had one of the later versions (I cannot remember which, but the patched version for reflection). Since the upgrade I noticed a drop in performance of the pc and the hard disk spinning up a lot more than usual. I tracked it down to AWN when in autohide. I do not like it on the desktop so always autohide it. When AWN is hidden my xorg goes up to 61.3% CPU consumption as opposed to 2% when AWN is displayed ? Does anyone know why this would happen and if it normal?

This is a known bug with auto-hide on newer versions, just disable auto-hide for now or use the 'force version' option in synaptic to downgrade.

I like awm and affinity very much, thank you for developing this.

Question: How can I get the notification/systray applet to work? All I get after adding is a white vertical thin stripe ? Or anyy other idea how to get the network manager applet to show up in awm ? This is the last problem i have to solve to get rid of my last gnome-panel...

Hi y'all,

I am encountering a problem when checkinstalling AWN.

My system is: VMware : Ubuntu Edgy Appliance uname -r : 2.6.17-11-386

in the Avant Window Navigator folder I do:

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr

(as per instruction in the README) and it works fine.

then

make

works too :mrgreen:

and finally,

sudo checkinstall -D

Fails with the following messages:

/bin/bash ../../libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c 'switcher.la' '/usr/lib/awn/applets/switcher/switcher.la' libtool: install: error: cannot install switcher.la' to a directory not ending in /usr/local/lib/awn/applets/switcher make[3]: * [install-switcherlibLTLIBRARIES] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory /home/lionel/avant-window-navigator/applets/switcher' make[2]: * [install-am] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory /home/lionel/avant-window-navigator/applets/switcher' make[1]: * [install-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory /home/lionel/avant-window-navigator/applets' make: * [install-recursive] Error 1

**** Installation failed. Aborting package creation.

Cleaning up...OK

Bye.

Help would be nice!

For your information: the compilation of Affinity went without problems. However, note that I could not get my hands on libbeagle-dev :|

Cheers,

I rarely get checkinstall to work without first doing: ``` sudo make install

Checkinstall is a dirty hack. AWN and Affinity both support the 'make uninstall' method of removing as said in the last part of the guide, use that instead of relying on checkinstall. As for libbeagle-dev, that may be because you are running edgy (as shown in your profile), but it likely still exists under a different name, search in synaptic for beagle to find it.

Hi there,

Does anybody know how to get the patched version of awn with the reflections in it? I've seen reference to it here and wasn't sure if maybe I haven't gotten it through an update because I have repo that's a bit behind.

I'm using http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42 and have the svn version of the libawn and avant-window-navigator packages install.

Thanks

Hi Reacocard,

I see there is a patch up in the awn forums for this now, trouble is I have no idea how to apply the patch. Have searched the forums and googled a bit but cannot find a howto for this Could you point me in the right direction? I have had to go back to Kiba-dock and it is pretty ugly compared to awn

Thanks

It's actually not that hard, but it wont hurt to wait a couple of days. Saturday or Sunday Neil (maintainer of the project) is back and will probably add all the patches (there are a nice number of them) including the auto hide patch to the SVN.

If you definitely want to patch you need to fetch the SVN source first (only SVN rev 227 will work)

svn checkout http://avant-window-navigator.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ avant-window-navigator cd avant-window-navigator patch -p0 < [path_to_the_patch] ./autogen.sh make sudo make install

I'm only not sure of the -p0, it could be -p1 to

Thanks for answering haytjes. I'm on vacation right now so I only have intermittent internet access and won't be able to keep my debs up-to-date with the latest patches, although I will try to remain in sync with SVN.

Hmm now it works. I havent changed anything so I have no idea what just happened.

hi everyone,

i am trying to follow the instructions and i get the following error when i use ./autogen.sh

shift: 364: can't shift that many

can anybody tell me what this is, and how i can avoid it?

I would like to suggest making the following change (debdiff) to the affinity* source packages (a description of the changes is provided in the addition to debian/changelog). Also, I'm curious as to why you built the packages without an orig tarball (they're not native packages). Why don't you look at getting them included into Ubuntu or Debian proper? Look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU for more information; REVU being the key tool here.

.t. said: I would like to suggest making the following change (debdiff) to the affinity* source packages (a description of the changes is provided in the addition to debian/changelog). Also, I'm curious as to why you built the packages without an orig tarball (they're not native packages). Why don't you look at getting them included into Ubuntu or Debian proper? Look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU for more information; REVU being the key tool here.

It's built without orig.tar.gz because they're quick-and-dirty debs, with the svn ones built automatically by a script. An orig.tar.gz shouldn't really be needed here anyway since the source isn't modified, I put patches into the debian dir to do that if needed. I'm not looking into getting it into ubuntu/debian because 1) I don't think AWN and Affinity are stable enough for that yet (although AWN is close) and 2) I'm not good enough at packaging. I'll get your patch into the packages eventually, but I can't right now since this wifi hotspot won't let me use ftp. :(

Ok, that's cool. I understand the stability concerns, but I feel that everyone started somewhere, and you can only get better at packaging by doing the maintenance. So, when they are more stable, do get them uploaded, and you will feel more confident. (I know I'm getting to that point; this is only the second time I've ever made a debdiff to improve a package). By the way, I wasn't sure of the best way to reach you, so you've probably received an e-mail from me as well. I hope you get to a hotspot soon, and thanks;

How would I add the OSX look to the AWN? Is it even available? Thanks for this!

I assume that you mean the Leopard dock? Where the icons appear to sit on a plane...

Right now there is no GUI for that, but you can change it in gconfig. Goto: Apps>Avant-Window-Navigator>bar there you will see settings for bar_angle and icon_offset. Change the angle to 45 and the offset 15 to get the basic look.

Thanks, it worked!

question: I have installed both these wonderful little gadgets, and loving them already. But for affinity search, I am only loving the idea. Cause I am having troubles making it useful. As of yet, it only allows me to search installed applications, but not my home folder. Also, can I add emails from Evolution and address books to the search?

Just the indexing of the home folder (and it's subs) would be great for starters thanks

Thanks

You need to have Tracker installed and configured properly. The default settings are fine I believe, so just do

sudo apt-get install tracker

and then run

trackerd

to start tracker. Tracker will then index your home folder, and when its done doing that Affinity should be able to search your home just fine. Just remember to add trackerd to your statup programs so that it runs every time you log in.

yeah I'll update the guide eventually, too busy right now, hopefully within a week. Repos has an updated version already, though I'm gonna change the package name soon since the -svn suffix isn't correct anymore (and the rev #s are different now, grr).

I have managed to create a proper deb set for gutsy using the latest svn (as of 19:30 GMT). I haven't had a chance to test it yet (I compiled it remotely using pdebuild and my shell), but it theoretically should work. I used reacocard's debian rules that he used to build the packages found in this thread, so everything should work properly.

Is anyone willing to give them a shot?

Instead of just shown the windows you have open is there anyway to have it behave like a shortcut dock? like in osx? I was hoping to replace my cheap looking gnome panel finally.

PS: I installved via the repos method, and when I try to add a launcher nothing happens. Also I want to disable having opened windows showing up in the bar. I just want the launchers.

Go to the NEW how-to guide (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=514518). It will help you out a lot. The versions in the repos are not the most current version. The newest SVN functions similar to the OSX dock. And just to say, the OSX dock also shows the currently open windows. If you do not like this, I do not know how to get rid of it, but know Kiba-Dock is closer to what you are looking for.

Then I don't know. :( Me sorry. I compiled from source and am having no problems. I am sorry I made a mistake.

[COLOR="Red"][SIZE="7"]IMPORTANT UPDATE!!![/SIZE][/COLOR]

I have updated the guide and repos now. Those of you currently using the repos will need to use this command to get further updates:

sudo apt-get remove avant-window-navigator-svn libawn libawn-svn
sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator-bzr

i@reacocard

Cool! Glad to see this.

Is avant-window-navigator-bzr a meta package?

Also, I've been building my own from source for awhile for testing reasons since I've gotten involved more with AWN, but I've noticed that I never removed the residual configs for avant-window-navigator-svn and libawn-svn. If I do so at this point do you know if it will break my current set up? Not a big deal if it does, but just wondering if you'd know.

It is not a metapackage, but it depends on libawn-bzr and they both conflict with other awn package names, so everything should work fine. The reason for that pair of commands is I made a goof in the packaging, next update will fix that and and apt-get install avant-window-navigator-bzr should be all that's needed.

EDIT: Just be sure to remove all your current setup before installing and you'll be fine. Make sure there are no awn executables left over in /usr/local/bin, that's a common source of problems when switching. EDIT2: Just realized you may be asking something different. The residual configs are just old gconf schemas, it shouldn't hurt anything to purge them.

@reacocard: what about integrate stack applet patch to your awn package ? would be great ;)

ayoli said: @reacocard: what about integrate stack applet patch to your awn package ? would be great ;)

The stack applet needs a newer GTK than feisty has I believe. I already tried to patch AWN for it actually, and the applet came out as just a white line. When the stacks applet works on Feisty, I'll include it.

reacocard said: The stack applet needs a newer GTK than feisty has I believe. I already tried to patch AWN for it actually, and the applet came out as just a white line. When the stacks applet works on Feisty, I'll include it.

I've actually got it running on Feisty. Did you try a reboot? That did it for me.

reacocard: Do you have any packages which have the option to turn off the glow behind the active icons. I know there is a patch for it somewhere, but i was just wondering if it was included in any packages?

when will a proper way of adding launchers be implemented. Currently I cant add things like applets that i can add to regular gnome panels like sticky notes, desktop revealer etc.

Also I can't get thunderbird icon dragged unto bar. most other apps can be dragged on, but for some reason not thunerbird.

The add button in configure launchers still does nothing.

If i change the icon in for a luncher it reverts back to what it was before after awn is turned off and back on. (how to fix)

Gnome-panel-applets are just that. They are only designed to work there. Each applet would need to be individually recoded for AWN. So you'll probably be seeing more coming, but it will take awhile.

A whole new AWN preferences window is almost ready which is a lot more user friendly and covers some of the new things like changing bar angle and icon offset. It's going to combine the preferences, applets, and launchers menus into one tabbed interface. It will also include a themer.

Ah, I bet its stupid gconf again. I'll see if I can get it working, thanks for the tip!

EDIT: Nope, not gconf, there are a couple hardcoded /usr/local paths that appear to be messing it up.

No its not included, but if you point me towards the patch I'll see about getting it in.

I am not sure if this is a bug or a feature, i'm hoping its not a feature. You can let me know if to log in in launchpad. I cannot run multiple instances of an application, such as the terminal, when the launcher is on awn. If you click multiple times on the launcher it brings up the already open app. I look in preferences but nothing in there to control this. How do I get it to work more like a gnome task bar where whenever i click on the launcher it will open a new instance of the app.

Actually ... pidgin is the only launcher that launches another version of the app when clicked upon.

Thanks.

Use the middle click to open a new instance....

that helps a little, but for things like gedit the middle button launces the preferences window instead.

What's the difference between (Stable) and (svn)?

Stable means that the majority of the program is stable (for most users) however it doesn't get the newest updates.

SVN is like beta testing. It's where everything new in a program is tested before it makes it to stable.

Is there a way to change the autohide so the dock doesnt actually scroll off of the screen, but rather just hides itself on the desktop, under any open windows? ObjectDock for windows does this really well, i dont like my launchers off of the desktop when i have no windows open. It just bothers me for some reason. Also, is there a way to make a launcher for Nautilus? I have one for my Home Folder, but when i launch it, it puts a "File Browser" icon in the taskbar space instead of a little triangle under the home folder.

Depressed Man said: Stable means that the majority of the program is stable (for most users) however it doesn't get the newest updates.

SVN is like beta testing. It's where everything new in a program is tested before it makes it to stable.

How ever, that's a little misleading in the case of AWN. The whole project is still beta, and the developers encourage you to use the unstable version as the "stable" one contains many more bugs and lacks lots of features.

The idea is that soon there will be a real stable 0.2 release as they're clean up a lot of bugs and trimming the code. Then all new features will be in a 0.3bzr.

Arkus said: Installed and working great from the latest bzr but i dont have a gmenu or an affinity applet listed in my applet list. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Those are only in patches for now, and from what I've heard they are more experimental than anything else, hence why they are not in the repo packages. If/when they become (mostly) stable, I will add them.

linux123 said: hello.. i just installed both of them. but don't know how to start them. please someone tell me how to run and get both of them configured. thx

There should be menu items for then in Applications>Accessories, or run 'avant-window-navigator' and 'affinity' from the commandline.

Can anyone help please?

Yeah, happens to me too but AWN still works fine so I wouldn't worry about it.

but when I close the terminal window, it closes AWN, am I doing something wrong?

dont launch awn from the terminal. hit Alt+F2 and launch it from there.

awesome thanks, now I know it works, I'll add it to the start up list! :)

Monday 6th August. Update of AWN. Situation: Total Diasater.

1) AWN loads and Icons are totally out of wack. They are huge!!! pic attached...take a look at the size of all those icons in comparison to the trash bin. I had all those icons set to the same size of the trash bin. The trash bin is the only icon that has maintained the size all icons on the AWN were set too.

2) AWN disappears (I assume it crashes) after emptying the trash bin.

3) Whereas in the previous version when i change an icon for a launcher and it was preserved thru reboots. That no longer happens. What in the world did you do.

4) After it crashes you are unable to restart it without killing the gdm.

5) How can I downgrade to the previous bzr version.

Any fixes for this?

Thanks.

I assume you are using the repo? This apt line should downgrade it:

sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator-bzr=0.1.2-bzr15-2 libawn-bzr =0.1.2-bzr15-2

Ok, so I just made the switch from the svn to the bzr, and now avant-preferences won't open. Here's what I get in terminal.

~$ avant-preferences
/usr/local/share/avant-window-navigator/window.glade

This should fix it:

sudo rm /usr/local/bin/avant-*

I hate this little problem, this is like the 30th time its appeared in this thread. :mad:

Awesome. Thanks. I tried doing a ton of searches, but I couldn't find my answer, and it's hard to search through every post of over 50 pages. Sorry about that.

JonD25 said: Awesome. Thanks. I tried doing a ton of searches, but I couldn't find my answer, and it's hard to search through every post of over 50 pages. Sorry about that.

Quite alright, It would be hard to search for since there are like no keywords for it. It's a simple solution though so I don't much mind reposting it. Only 28 pages for me, I have the number of posts/page set higher than the default.

Is this ok ? I just updated my source list to include the two listed on page one, then updated with keys and such. However, I got this at the end:

Failed to fetch http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42/dists/feissty/avant-window-navigator/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found

Reading package lists... Done E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Should I continue on, or do something to rectify this instead ?

just edit your sources.list you misspell *feisty* apparently (in your link, feisty has 2 's') then redo a: sudo apt-get update

Well, that'll teach me to copy/paste without looking first ! Interesting, and good catch. I'll try that, thanks !

Can someone send me a PM or link walking me through how to compile AWN for 64-bit? I have a 64-bit version of Feisty, and would very much like to add AWN to it. Anyone can walk me through it?! Help much appreciated...

The compiling instructions on the first post should work fine for 64-bit. If they don't, let me know so I can post a note saying so.

I just got the latest update from the repos, and things seem to have straightened out. I just have one question.

1) I see in the gconf under the title branch where it looks like you can set the font size of what I assume is the text that pops up when you mouse over each icon. I tried to change this to smaller neater text, but the changes are not reflected even after I restart awn. Is there a way to change that font size?

Thanks.

Thanks. yes, thru preferences window (right click on the bar, not on an icon), see screenschot attached.

I followed this installation exactly, but at the end nothing happened. I typed in avant-window-navigator into a terminal and I could get it to run from there, however I cant find out how to run it properly... Please can someone help?

you must have a avant-window-navigator entry in your Accessories menu. btw, if you want it at startup, just add it to startup apps (menu system > preferences > sessions).

Perfect! Thank you very much.

ayoli said: yes, thru preferences window (right click on the bar, not on an icon), see screenschot attached.

Well, I seem to have everything installed and working, thanks for all the great guides!

Still getting a seg fault when I try to launch affinity, searched high and low to find a fix, but alas I don't think there is one.

Thanks again!

*ahem*

[SIZE="7"]WE NOW HAVE 64-BIT PACKAGES!!![/SIZE]

The repo now contains 64-bit packages for awn and affinity! A huge thank-you to tgm4883 for providing these!

Also note that the -svn AWN packages have been removed from the repo completely now, you must upgrade to avant-window-navigator-bzr.

This guide is quite a bit out of date for AWN. For a simpler way you can:

$ bzr co http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~awn-core/awn/trunk avant-window-navigator $ cd avant-window-navigator $ ./autogen.sh && make && sudo make install

the bzr is updated often and I guess the recent update included the stacks with ith.

Um, its up-to-date, just a bit longer-winded than you because it handles deps and such.

it's enough up to date for me and many ppl here i guess and has all cool and latest features such as stacks. if it isn't for you feel free to compile it yourself. again BIG THANKS to reacocard for maintaining this :)

i found this a while back, but i hit this problem and dropped it to do later. Well, my WoW server is down for 48 hours (:lolflag:) so here i am.

i downloaded fine and all.

but when i get to the autogen.sh i have various errors :

bzr checkout <http://url/of/the/branch>

if you dont have bzr:

sudo apt-get install bzr

 bzr checkout http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~awn-core/awn/trunk avant-window-navigator

is the first step, so i have it. but when i do that; it just starts downloading . That is what you meant right? I already redid a download, same outcome.

ah, thanks for finding that, I'll add it to the deps list.

@Criminosis - does installing this help?

Just wanted add my thanks for this HowTo. After involuntarily reinstalling Feisty for the 3rd time in two months (and mastering the clean install), I've decided that so many "stable" packages seem to screw it up that I can't do any worse by experimenting with some of the better stuff from the leading edge. I installed AWN using the Feisty repository listed in the first post here and all went smoothly. AWN is an awesome piece of work and well worth the time.

.< this is what I get for answering questions late at night.

as for the missing .m4 files, make sure that autoconf et al are not lying around in /usr/local, that screwed up someone before. Just remove or rename the executables if it is and try again.

I found the .m4 files in my /usr/share/aclocal. I'm guessing that is where they are supposed to be? :confused: How do i add them to the autoconf macro directory?

Hey wait a moment...

from the /usr/local/share/aclocal directory to your autoconf macro directory
or directly to your aclocal.m4 file.

i only have :

glib-2.0.m4  glib-gettext.m4

in that folder. could this be part of the issue?

Or is this normal? :confused:

I stumbled across

while looking for a fix for this. doing it that way got it up and running in no time. Is this this "stable" version that you were recommending against though? :(

for beginners n for all, i've made a simple step-by-step installation at my blog..check it out..:)

No, actually thats my repo, the -bzr package is the devel stuff.

cool!

ah, right-o. well it works so i'm good with it \\:D/

Although i've noticed if i move the mouse to the bottom of the screen, it comes up; but it will not re-autohide unless i run the mouse over it again. It is kinda trivial, but is there a fix / option/ plugin / modification....etc for this?

i just wanted to test it out without compiz or beryl or anything like that and now its stuck on my screen how do you turn it off? :lolflag:

A-Sylum said: i just wanted to test it out without compiz or beryl or anything like that and now its stuck on my screen how do you turn it off? :lolflag:

That would depend on how you invoked it....

If you just ran it, then just xkill it, restart your xserver, or simply reboot

If you added it to your sessions list, just delete from that list and reboot

I'm guessing you just mean 'now its stuck" in the simple manner :)

A-Sylum said: i just wanted to test it out without compiz or beryl or anything like that and now its stuck on my screen how do you turn it off? :lolflag:

You have two options:

1) Kill it using the GUI System--->Administration--->System Monitor, from here go to the processes tab and locate avant-window-navigator and kill it.

2) Kill it using the terminal In a terminal type 'ps ux' to show you a list of all running processes, locate avant-window-navigator and i's assigned PID, then type "kill PID#" and you should rid yourself of the big black bar along he bottom of your screen that is caused when you run AWN w/o compositing. =]

Hope this helps.

setting apps -> avant-window-navigator -> auto_hide_delay to a smaller value in gconf-editor might help.

Hey, is there a way to put the "Show Desktop" button onto AWM? I had it on my buttom Gnome bar (which is now gone in trade of AWM :lolflag:). I've grown attached to it. I moved it to the top bar, but for the sake of habit and knowledge, i would like to know :).

Thanks for the tutorial. It compiles fine on Gutsy Gibbon Tribe 4 (64bit) but when you run it from the terminal you get an error message:

avant-window-navigator: error while loading shared libraries: libawn.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This is a known bug and I found the solution on launchpad bugtracker. Type this at the Terminal then run avant-window-navigator again:

sudo ldconfig

Works for me!

make sure you don't have synaptic or any other package manager open when you run the commands.

Excellent guide. Worked straight off with no problems. Thanks :)

or in terminal

avant-window-navigator

Hmm it uses beagle as its backend for searching right? (assuming you configured it when compiling from source).

Mine seems to find the files, but it can't find say names inside documents or my chat logs. It can find it from the beagle window (say I type Kristen and beagle will report all the convos that I said Kristen in it). But when I try it from the affinity search window it doesn't find it.

So I finally got AWN installed... I installed Beryl first then AWN but when I launched it I only saw a huge black bar across the bottom of my screen. Then after racking my brain for about 10 minutes I re-read a couple of posts that said 'HEY MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BERYL AS YOUR WINDOWS MANAGER'

DUH!

I changed the window manager to beryl in the beryl settings an wallah!!! IT WORKS, and I'm a HUGE fan of this app. I've attached a screen shot of my desktop, this is a Dell Latitude D620 1.86Ghz, 1GB Ram, 60GB HDD, Intel Graphics with the i915 driver.

Screenshot (Beryl & AWN) [IMG]http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb13/white3454/Screenshot.png[/IMG]

How do you get it fully transparent? Mine always has that black bar (not across the screen) just were the dock is (where the icons sit).

Depressed Man said: How do you get it fully transparent? Mine always has that black bar (not across the screen) just were the dock is (where the icons sit).

Use avant-preferences to set all colours to transparent.

Thanks! Now if only I could get the affinity searching with beagle working 100%.

Depressed Man said: Thanks! Now if only I could get the affinity searching with beagle working 100%.

Well Affinity hasn't been updated in months, and it never did get very far in development. I'd recommend just leaving it for now, its a lost cause unless Neil decides to start working on it again. He had some mockups back in April that looked really good, but nothing has come of that yet.

How do I configure or create launchers? What commands to add to make the shortcuts in the lauchers?

kris2pe said: How do I configure or create launchers?

What commands to add to make the shortcuts in the lauchers? Drag some icons from the Applications menu of the top panel into AWN. It will attach them and you can rearrange their positions using "Configure launchers..." menu in AWN.

The add button in that menu never did anything for me.

Is Affinity stable?

kris2pe said: Is Affinity stable?

Its stable, just not very useful at the moment.

If anyone can help me out here it would be greatly appreciated...

what version of stacks and awn? how did you install them? did you reboot after you installed?

I simply followed your guide here to install awn, by adding the repo and then installing avant-window-navigator-bzr through Synaptic. I have rebooted after installation.

Not sure how to determine the version of stacks, but it should be an appropriate one if it came with the package.

hm, it should work fine then. Try this:

sudo apt-get install libawn-bzr libawn-bzr-dev

I doubt it will help, but I can't think of anything else to try.

^ Guess I will have to wait until the repo is available again. I see I don't have the dev version of it installed.

Anything's possible...

yeah forgot my host is down. sorry about that. Hopfullly they'll be back soon.

You're not supposed to need the -dev version for things to work, but you never know.

Well to no one's surprise that did not appear to be effective. Not a big deal though, I can live without it for now.

Woohoo, the applet is working after updating to the latest version that hit the repos!

I've uploaded bzr53 packages to the repo now, does that fix it?

Since the update I can't alter awn preferences. Awn-Preferences seems to load and then crash. Any ideas?

Everything works well here, even the add launcher function works now... Thank you!

how do i actually use affinity? lets say i want to search for an .mp3 ... i type music:manowar and even though i have the entire manowar discography on my comp i get nothing :confused:

walkerk said: Since the update I can't alter awn preferences. Awn-Preferences seems to load and then crash. Any ideas?

Same thing, but i noticed, that it wasnt even launched, just run awn-preferences from terminal, or preferences>awnpreferences from menu.

Affinty needs tracker to be set up right to work properly. It's also worth noting that Affinity has not been updated in months and appears to be a dead project, it will likely be removed from the repo in gutsy.

I've installed AWN, and now none of the windows have their borders (can't close them, or resize).

I am running Compiz, but I've read that I should be sure to have Compiz or Beryl as my Window Manager. How do I verify that Compiz is my Window Manager?

Also, when I select System > Preferences > Awn Manager, nothing happens.

kwl.... so why is it being advertised then?

Chymera said: kwl.... so why is it being advertised then?

Because it is still currently in the repo and I would have to start a new thread as Affinity is in the title of this one. I will start a new thread for gutsy as this one is getting ridiculously long.

Ahh...

with the Stacks plugin, can I change the called file-manager to say Thunar? How?

TIA.

walkerk said: Since the update I can't alter awn preferences. Awn-Preferences seems to load and then crash. Any ideas?

I'm working under feisty/amd64, and there is no more avant-preferences, avant-launcher and so on. In system > preferences You'll find awn-manager instead. Or you can try a right-click on the dock: left-click on preferences. That will hopefully do the trick. This behaviour seems to be changed...

The glade icon will show on the bar for a second and the vanish.. Anyone else have these problems? I've tried purging and re-installing to no avail.. Any insight would be appreciated..

Not sure. If you have nautilus installed, you may have to do:

gksu mousepad /usr/share/applications/nautilus-folder-handler.desktop

And change the Exec value to:

Exec=Thunar %U

Just a quick notice, stacks have been temporarily pulled from the repo. This is due to stacks moving into awn-extras and no longer providing patches against awn trunk. I am working on getting an awn-extras package into the repo, if you need stacks you should wait for that before updating.

stacks are back, and they brought company! you can now install the awn-core-applets-bzr package and get stacks, a clock, the gnome menu and a funky animation. enjoy!

this is currently 32bit feisty only, it will become available for 64bit soon.

this plugin is very beautiful and nice :guitar:

maxfact said: but why the plugins stack is not avaible in version 77 for avant-window-navigator-bzr

You have to install awn-core-applets-bzr. It gives you stacks, and a couple of other applets.

Also, when I select System > Preferences > Awn Manager, nothing happens. I'm getting the same problem of nothing happenening when I try to open the preferences app.

EDIT: Nevermind, if you get this problem, run the program in the apps menu first, then open prefs, that's what I get for trying to be safe and set things up before using AWN.

bzr co http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~awn-core/awn/trunk avant-window-navigator

you'll have to install from the awn-extras source then: https://code.launchpad.net/~awn-extras/awn-extras/trunk

just bzr co the given url there, cd in a few levels to awn-core-applets, then ./autogen.sh, make, sudo make install as usual.

Hi, I've downloaded some python scripts plugins for awn and I'd like to know how do I install them, the plugins are for Firefox download, evolution mail, and ktorrent

I also have a pidgin plugin but no idea of how to install it... could somebody help me in that?? I'm very new at this... I was only able to install plugin for amarok, but it was easy installing it through the scripts manager inside amarok

Any help would be so much appreciated

where did you find these plugins, I did'nt heard about ? you jus tease me :)

I have always wondered what the big deal was with all the flashy eye-candy. I mean, it looks great but most of it serves no useful function. Thanks for showing these to me.

Use the same guide, but if you use the repo method of installing replace 'feisty' with 'gutsy' in the lines you add to /etc/apt/sources.list

Yeah sorry AWN added python bindings the other day and I haven't got around to updating the dependency lists yet. These are the additional packages you will need:

Once someone confirms that that works I'll update the guide.

This thread is far too huge for me to be able to search it, so I'll just ask.

Will this dev AWN keep up-to-date on its own or will I need to keep rebuilding stuff?

If you're talking about the repo, yeah it'll keep updating, it just ties into the standard ubuntu update system. If you compiled from source, you'll have to update it yourself.

It is not yet available for 64-bit in the repo, we have been having a few rebuilding issues which will hopefully be resolved soon.

oops, didn't see it was for 64bits. I should have sleep a bit more :)

Seriously, though, how can I get affinity working from this repo? I uninstalled Beagle because I don't want to have to compile it.

SSB said: Seriously, though, how can I get affinity working from this repo? I uninstalled Beagle because I don't want to have to compile it.

Install and configure tracker. Install affinity-svn. If that doesn't work, then I don't really know. Test tracker with tracker-search-tool first to make sure its set up right.

A strange issue with affinity-svn package:

Les NOUVEAUX paquets suivants seront installés :
  affinity-svn gconf libdb3 libgconf11 libglib1.2 libgnome-vfs-common libgnome-vfs0 libgtk1.2

svn package wants to install gtk1.2 but not the stable version ??

ah, found my problem. wasn't using affinity SVN.

really buggy, though :( at least it looks nice.

I guess you should also have: python-gtk-dev python-gnome2-dev

Correct me if I'm wrong.

looks like your dbus isn't set up right

TmP said: If python-gtk-dev does not work, try python-gtk2-dev instead.

I guess you should also have: python-gtk-dev python-gnome2-dev

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Probably right, I was copying from a post by the AWN author.

Likely bad packaging on an unmaintained app. I should just remove affinity from the repos, without active upstream it really has no future.

shame, affinity looked like a cool app ...

I don't have time to read through 70 pages of replies to see if this issue has been addressed. I apologise. I do however see python-gtk2 in my synapticPM installed if thats not the same? I am a noob too btw. :D

I am running Feisty with Beryl/XGL.

This is after running ./autogen.sh

checking for PYGTK... configure: error: Package requirements (pygtk-2.0 >= 2.8.0) were not met:

No package 'pygtk-2.0' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables PYGTK_CFLAGS
and PYGTK_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

reacocard said: It is not yet available for 64-bit in the repo, we have been having a few rebuilding issues which will hopefully be resolved soon.

When, eventually could we expect these packages in the amd64 repo?

floogy said: When, eventually could we expect these packages in the amd64 repo?

Whenever the rebuilding issues get sorted out. We really do not know how long this will take, unfortunately.

Grrrr I'm getting this error during the ./autogen.sh command, can anyone lead me in the right direction?

hum, try this one instead: python-gtk2-dev

so will this work if I'm using kubuntu? I noticed a lot of the dependencies were for gnome.

mythik said: so will this work if I'm using kubuntu? I noticed a lot of the dependencies were for gnome.

It does work in kubuntu, it just lacks some of the integration it has in gnome.

With kubuntu, you may want to try kxdocker.

Thanks! I'll try it out tonite and let you know!

after doing the stable installation of affinity and running it by typing affinity in the terminal, i'm getting this error:

what do i do? sorry for the easy question, i'm very new to linux.

i don't know if this has been mentioned before (70 page long thread!) but i was having issues getting affinity to work. The guide is missing installing beagle, tracker, svn, and libpanel-applet2-dev packages.

libpanel-applet2-dev is the cure to the following error whilst running make

make[2]: * [affinity-applet] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory /home/user/affinity-search/src' make[1]: * [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory /home/user/affinity-search' make: *** [all] Error 2

how do i fix it?

Thank you this worked.

NOTICE: Affinity has been removed from the guide as upstream development appears to have ceased. The packages will remain in the repository for your convenience, but they will not be updated or supported. If upstream development resumes, I will add Affinity back to the guide and add new packages to the repo as well. Thank you.

sad news, but best decision I guess. Btw, it seems that gusty will provide a "native" frontend to tracker.

Thanks for the help! greetz

shame about affinity, I was just getting to really like it with the panel applet, I found I can use it as a replacement for the start menu being able to search programs by text is so fast compared to menus

I had no trouble installing awn (this was an excellent guide) but for some reason I can't seem to launch the awn manager. Does anybody know what stupid mistake I'm making and how I can fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Btw, it seems that gusty will provide a "native" frontend to tracker.

I also liked affinity and am sad to see it go. The mockups Neil posted back in April looked really good, it's really too bad that it hasn't been worked on.

Of course, Neil could always surprise us with a major update that knocks the socks off everything else. :D

try running awn-manager from a terminal and post the output here.

when i add launchers to the dock through the preferences, it won't show up in the dock. what's wrong and how do i fix it?

Okay, this is what came up:

do this

sudo apt-get install python-dev python-gtk2-dev python-cairo-dev python-gconf python-gnome2-dev

then do ./autogen.sh again.

I have a problem with AWN: When I click in preferences/Awn manager nothing happens! How can I fix this?

Hi, i'm using Compiz and just finished installing Avant-Window-Navigator (bzr). I followed the directions exactly but once I put in "sudo make install" what's next. I mean I don't see any dock or do I need to activate it?

EDIT: I read the README file but I don't have "Applications->Accessories->Avant Window Navigator" or "System->Preferences(->More Preferences)->Avant Preferences". Any suggestions?

open a terminal and type

avant-window-navigator

if that gives you 'command not found' you did something wrong during the install and you'll have to try again.

Hm.

How do you activate the reflection feature? I can't seem to find it in the AWN manager.

Set the bar type to 3d, then open gconf-editor, navigate to apps->avant-window-navigator->bar and set icon_offset to 10, then restart AWN.
