I lost my previous AWN config and now when I run by hand and try and go into the configuration gui I see this /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gtk-2.0/glib/_glib.so: undefined symbol: PyUnicodeUCS4_DecodeUTF8 I've tried upgrading gtk and glibc and pygtk from rawhide, but still no dice.
I like to set my panels larger than default and change their color, but when I upgraded to 10.04, the graphics behind some of the "items" on the panels retain the default color scheme. I know it isn't a big deal but it bugs me. I just created this user acct to show the prob without messing with my main login.
My solution was to use Avant Window Navigator and not use panels at all, but I would like to fix the actual prob.
I am kinda new to linux and avant window navigator is my first dock and im having some trouble. It seems to have fully installed but it does not look very 3D. specifically there is a white box surrounding it.,
View 3 Replies View RelatedHow to get AWN to run on two monitors? I want a bar on each monitor. I used to be able to start two instances using a shell script below but that doesn't seem to be working now.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
killall avant-window-navigator
sleep 4
DISPLAY=:0.0 avant-window-navigator &
sleep 4
DISPLAY=:0.1 avant-window-navigator &
Playing around more with this and it looks like avant no checks to see if there is another instance running and will not start if there is. That is a bummer. Any way to change this?
dccrens@cavermax-ubuntu:~$ DISPLAY=:0.0 avant-window-navigator &

I decided to bite the bullet and install AWN 0.4 beta, because it supported GnoMenu. However, adding the GnoMenu applet to AWN triggers a UnicodeDecodeError, which looks something like this:
Code:
UnicodeDecodeError in GnoMenu: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xb5 in position 1: unexpected code byte
The traceback is as follows:

However, aside from normal windows like Chrome and Nautilus, the glide effect is applied to Avants animations.I would like the Avant animations to fade in and not use the glide effect.I have looked at the rules and have done a little tinkering, but I haven't found the rule that would make this work.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been using AWN for years, having a startup script to run multiple instances of AWN and position it on each monitor correctly. This has worked fine but today I decided to upgrade the version of AWN. The only problem now being that the new version doesn't support multiple instances of AWN to be open at once.The new version of AWN does have an 'Add dock' button but that's no good as my setup isn't Xinerama so each monitor is it's own workspace, meaning I can't position the dock far left, because far left is the edge of the current monitor.
The ideal solution here would to be able to run multiple instances, as I can force each instance to a monitor with DISPLAY=0:1 etc.If anybody has any ideas on how to have AWN on each of the 3 monitors then please let me know.
I'm trying to install the Avant Window Navigator by compiling the source files and installing that way. I've extracted the file avant-window-navigator-0.4.0.tar.gz, but when I run the ./configure command, I get an error.
Code:
configure: error: in `/usr/src/avant-window-navigator-0.4.0':
configure: error:
Could not link test program to Python. Maybe the main Python library has been
installed in some non-standard library path. If so, pass it to configure

i just got this downloaded and i kinda like it. haven't customized it with apps yet, but i'll get to that later. right now i was wondering if there was any way i can set it to panel mode with only my desktop, yet still have my windows overlapping it.

View 4 Replies View RelatedThere are a lot of tutorials online for getting at individual features in AWN (or DockBarX), and I understand that not every feature I'm making use of here is necessarily going to be useful to every user - this is an interface tailored to my workflow. Still, if you're new to AWN, here's a quick tutorial on some of the features you'll want to know about to be able to take full advantage of it. The goal here is to configure AWN as an alternative shell to Unity that retains all the same basic features (and a few extra.)
In this tutorial, despite the default settings on everything else, I'm using the (very trendy, I know) Orta theme and Faenza icons. I don't think it's without reason that these are becoming Gnome's Aqua. They're very readable and clean, and they both include a lot of special features (like Orta's extensive appearance configuration options and Faenza's inclusion of special notification tray icons for common apps like Dropbox and Tomboy.)
Although I know there are perfectly good reasons for both options, I'm going to be assuming in this tutorial that you're using a theme with the window buttons on the left, as this is needed for the Unity-style workflow presented. If you don't know how to change this feature, I'll explain it when I mention gconf-editor below.
Ingredients:
We'll need to add two PPAs to your system - one for AWN and one for DockBarX.
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:awn-testing/ppa
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dockbar-main/ppa
After that, we'll update the package lists, then install these packages.
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator-trunk dockbarx awn-applet-dockbarx xfce4-utils ccsm gconf-editor
[code]....
We're most of the way to a functional-looking desktop, but there's still no Run Dialog when you press Alt+F2, because this is actually a dialog provided by Gnome Panel.Instead, we'll use the one provided by xfce-utils.From the Main Menu at the left, go to Preferences -> Compiz Config Settings Manager (ccsm), then click the Commands tile.
Enter "xfrun4" as Command 0, then click the keybindings tab. Enter whatever keystroke you like, although you might want to make it something other than Alt+F2 to avoid possible conflicts. You could use something like Synapse instead of xfrun4, although xfrun4 will allow you to run more complex commands. Either one will appear when you select Launch from the Main Menu.
I've been following this guide to make my desktop look a little less "defaulty". Take a look.I've done each step up until where I'm supposed to open up Avant Window Navigator.IT REFUSES TO OPEN! I've tried rebooting...nothing. I've tried einstalling...nothing. Configuring it to run upon login...nothing. Agh! I am, however, able to run "Awn Manager" under System > Preferences and change the preferences for my non-existent window dock. I've searched the Internet quite a bit but can't seem to find a solution.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm unable to burn CD-RW in K3b (error message "cdrecord has no permission to open the device"). Apparently, this is a wide-spread problem and there are a lot of posts on the internet that deal with it, but none of the advice I've found has worked so far.
I've tried the following:
(1) Updated K3b to the most recent version.
(2) Checked the device name of my CD burner (= sr0), and made sure I have access to it (sr0 is assigned to the group "drive", and I've added myself to this group, and also to "cdrom", just to be sure).
(3) Checked whether I have access to the applications /usr/bin/cdrecord, /usr/bin/wodim, and /usr/bin/cdrdao. Set the permissions to 775 (rwxrwxrx) and the ownership/group ownership to root/disk.

When I try Shutdown -> Hibernate under simple user my screen becomes black and nothing happens. Then I move my mouse or press an key and I see my desktop and a window that asks me to enter my root password. I thought there is some problem with permissions so I logged in as a root and tried to hibernate but everything went the same way except there was no window to enter root pass. I checked my kernel config and hibernate is on there.

Installing from the education repository creates a new folder in the root folder which contains R (or at least a think), but i can't execute it.

Weird error on 11.1 x86_64 - I get it when I try to do autoupdate from the tray updater. I tried searching the forums for this error but didn't find. I tried rpm --rebuilddb as su, but that didn't fix. I start YaST and chose Software / Online Update and get: Accessing the Package Management Failed - the system management is locked by the application with pid 29603 (/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base). I tried killing the updater tray applet, but to no avail. TYAN2-Linux:/home/patti # ps -al

Yast recognizes the monitor correctly, but when I run Sax2 it will not change it back to 1280x1024. It accepts that setting but when I start it again it is set at 1024x768. My xorg.conf indicates...
