Avant-window-navigator doesn't start & problems changing gnome languag

hey there everybody!
this is my first post in this forum after a few days trying arch:)
simply love it... doesn't require too much efort(but if it did it would be a pleasure:) )
well let's stick to the issue...
here it goes:
i've searched through the web and i've found that to change my language to portuguese i would have to edit rc.conf so it would be like this:
LOCALE="pt-BR.UTF8"
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
TIMEZONE="Portugal"
KEYMAP="pt-latin1"
CONSOLEFONT="Agafari-12"
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"
the problem is that after this it is still in english and when i type locale -a i get this
[root@myhost foka]# locale -a
C
POSIX
en_US
en_US.iso88591
en_US.iso885915
en_US.utf8
i haven't found any gnome-i18n alike's so i really need help on this one although i'm confortable with english
the secound problem.. i've installed avant-window-navigator from source but when i try to start it or use configuration tools i get this
Failed to execute child process "avant-window-navigator" (No such file or directory)
i hope you can help me:)
good hacking:D

Avant window navigator and Openbox problem

Hi,
I have a problem with AWN and Openbox.

Can I solve this problem?
Thanks.

[SOLVED] Avant-Window-Navigator issues

Hey guys,
For the first time I'm trying out arch linux and I'd just like to say it's the best distro I've ever used. I got very far very easily on this distro by just using the arch wiki and the forms. You guys have a fantastic community.
Anyways I'm posting because I've had issues with avant-window-navigator. The biggest one being that I cannot move the dock. When I start awn-settings I get this error.
/usr/bin/awn-settings:1064: GtkWarning: Failed to get constuct only property adjustment of monitor_align_hscale with value `adjustment1'
self.wTree.add_from_file(self.XML_PATH)
And the result is that the "Position" slider is locked in one place. On top of that I've been having issues with different applets (specifically the main menu applets) where they just crash whenever I try to use them. I'm assuming those are just missing dependencies?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Appears to be the same problem as with exaile and xfce-panel. Downgrade gtk2 or try to change the value by editing the gconf files.

[SOLVED] Avant window navigator runs twice at startup!

Hi, ive installed AWN and put itin to session menu in XFCE4 to run a startup.
When i type:
avant-window-navigator
It runs fine, but at startup, it runs twice!
I can see a AWN behind the other. This also happened in KDE4.
Last edited by B4RR13N705 (2009-08-04 01:26:22)

In your AWN option menu, do you have the little box checked that says: "Start AWN on login"? (Or something close to that) Try unchecking it, and removing your start up entry from the session manager as well. Test to make sure it does not start when you log back in, then JUST add it to your start up session menu. AWN will figure out it was added and check the box for you.
I had this problem for a long time in Gnome, and contrived a massive workaround where I had a short script that started it and added the script to the start up menu. Just adding it once is much cleaner. It's a quark of AWN's built in start up script.
Alternatively, you could let AWN start itself by checking that box rather than adding it to the session manager after logging back into your XFCE session.
I hope this helps!

I get the impression that the file "/usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop" is missing I would copy another random file to that name, run avant-window-navigator, remove the launcher and then delete the surrogate file.

[Solved] How to Install avant-window-navigator-bzr

Trying to install awn-bzr because it doesn't require a compositer. Never installed using bzr before... Here is my pathetic attempt... No laughing
tried
yaourt -S avant-window-navigator-bzr
failed because i wasn't logged into launchpad
so i tried logging on: bzr lp-login (myusername)
failed because I didn't have a ssh key.
so I followed the instructions and made one.
trying yaourt again fails
searched arch forums and tried bzr branch lp:awn
and got some weird results but I'm lost -_-.... no idea what to do next.
I'm doing everything wrong aren't I?
Last edited by Loafers (2010-02-24 06:59:42)

Can you please show the exact output? I'm sure you don't need a launchpad account to get the source.
I think I know what message you are talking about and from memory you just need to wait it out until the source has downloaded. It shouldn't stop you in any way.

Something wrong with avant-window-navigator

I got to install with compiling, but when I type the command or click the icon on the menu, it says "bash: avant-window-navigator: command not found". I believe I have all the dependencies.

try using these "locate, which, whereis" to find the executable then put in path
Also check it has the right permissions if you know where it is.

Xfce4 and avant window navigator

So i have installed awn on top of my xfce4 desktop and now im having some issues with applets. Most of the applets i try to add crash instantly. Also i have received warning messages of missing dependencies like python-notify ( Installed via pacman works for now) and python-feedparser which is installed but it says it isn't. So what can i do about crashing applets and missing feedparser?

Sounds to me like a python2/3 conflict. python-notify and python-feedparser are python2 only.
Check the applet .desktop files in /usr/share/avant-window/navigator/applets to see if they are launching using python or python2. If they are using python, this means they are launching in python3, hence the crash.
Cheers.

Avant Window Navigator problems

Since the one in the AUR is OOD, I'm trying to install the latest version ( 0.4.2). In the documentation it says that I have to install libdesktop-agnostic, so I get it from the recommended source.
However, after extraction, I can't get it to install.
I'm new to Arch so it's likely I'm doing something wrong, I've been using it for a couple of days and not hit such an elementary problem yet but now, extraction and installation of a common program has me stumped.
I'm running enlightenment.
Since this is a fairly popular bit of software I was hoping someone out there who has already had success give me a little point in the right direction on how to get this setup.
Cheers.

MacBook Pro, randomly Windows 7 doesn't start and screen goes blank

Hi, I installed Windows 7 (Ultimate 64-bit) using the BootCamp on my MacBook Pro (MBP) i7, mid 2010. Installation was successful without any issues. This is my first Mac and, for now, I primarily use Windows on my MBP. The problem: After selecting Windows OS, randomly, Windows doesn't start and the screen goes blank. When this happens, most of the time I have to press the power button twice and press the Option key again to restart in Windows. Sometimes I have to hold down power button for several seconds to turn off MBP, then power it back on to start over. Windows 7 seems to restart on second try every time.
I can tell when the screen will go blank and Windows will not start, when the blinking cursor does not appear on upper left corner of the screen. Also, I enabled Windows OS Boot Log and nothing displays when this happens.
I took in my MBP, twice, to local Apple store Genius Bar and I was told that it was a Windows problem and I must purchase AppleCare Protection Plan to get help resolving the blank screen. It was explained to me that AppleCare had Windows experts who can help with resolving the issue. Therefore I purchased the AppleCare Protection Plan and spoke to AppleCare directly and still no resolution.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

There is a forum specifically for Boot Camp, this is a general MBP forum and most of us don't use Boot Camp or Windows. The link to that forum is:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=237
Apple does support Boot Camp however if your problem is with Windows Apple does not support a Microsoft product. You would need to contact Microsoft for help.

Windows service doesn't start at boot

When our Xserve starts up, the Windows service does not start.
I've got SMBSERVER=-YES- in /etc/hostconfig.
Once the xserve is running, clicking on the Start Service button for Windows in Server Admin starts the service with no problems. Once it's running, it's fine. The server has no other problems that I'm aware of.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Xserve Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I have exactly the same problem. Did you ever find a solution?

Problem, change the language with dynamic text

I am looking for a way to change simply the language of my flash animation
I work with flash cs4
of course I got Mylocale.as:
import mx.lang.Locale;
class MyLocale extends mx.lang.Locale {
static function start():Void {
var langCode:String = xmlLang;
currentXMLMapIndex = 0;
xmlDoc.load(xmlMap[langCode][0]);
static function setXMLLang(langCode:String):Void {
xmlLang = langCode;
and different xml files in the same folder than my swf file
in string , I ticked : "replace strings automatically during the execution"
with a default language (I am wondering if the problem is not from there)
if I tick: "replace strings manually using the scene language " or "replace strings via actionscript"
my code does not work.
then I kept: "replace strings automatically during the execution"
in my flash animation I have several scenes (pages)
p1, p2, p3, p4
in p1
I created a language bar
then 2 layers inside
Layer--action:
langListener = new Object();
langListener.change = function(eventObj) {
var target = eventObj.target;
var newLang = target.selectedItem.data;
MyLocale.setXMLLang(newLang);
MyLocale.start();
lang_cb.addEventListener("change", langListener);
// Force Japanese
lang_cb.selectedIndex = 1;
lang_cb.dispatchEvent({type:"change"});
Layer--language ex Fr:
// Forces combobox to have the correct value
on (release) {
var component = _parent.lang_cb;
for (var i=0; i< component.length; i++) {
var item = component.getItemAt(i);
if (item.data == "fr") {
component.setSelectedIndex(i);
component.dispatchEvent({type:"change"});
break;
ex Ja :
// Forces combobox to have the correct value
on (release) {
var component = _parent.lang_cb;
for (var i=0; i< component.length; i++) {
var item = component.getItemAt(i);
if (item.data == "ja") {
component.setSelectedIndex(i);
component.dispatchEvent({type:"change"});
break;
When I change the language in p1 , the language is also modified in p2, p3 and p4
however , after a navigation in p2, p3 and p4 , once I come back in p1 , the default language is back automatically although I did not touch the language bar!!
I don't know how to solve the problem
to my mind , the script reset itself each time I come back on p1
is there a way to keep the saved settings even when I am back on p1 until I modify manually again the language bar
thanks a lot

J2EE engine doesn't start after changing password in configtool

The story is
1. -->I tried to deploy WebDynpro app but it throws error message:
Cannot login to the SAP J2EE Engine using user and password as provided in the Filesystem Secure Store. Enter valid login information in the Filesystem Secure Store using the SAP J2EE Engine Config Tool.
2. --> so I changed the password through configtool. restart everything but J2EE engine doesn't up anymore (grey colour in MMC).
3. --> I'm trying to run configtool (select default) but it won't start (because j2ee engine doesn't up).
Q. --> How to start configtool? how to reset back the password? or how to rectify this Database issue? help....
note: I can login to Database in MMC.

Hi Anthony
In the configtool (secure store) where you have changed the password there are two fields for password change (one for db and other for engine).You changed the password but your databse password is the earlier one .So first change the DB password because this is the password your instance uses to connect to DB and the same should be mentioned in the secure store of the configtool .If there is any mismatch you will face the problem which you are telling.
Any issues feel free to ask.
