[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?

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.

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

[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] 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.

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.

Assuming your rig can support virtual machines, you can use Hyper-V and run another OS there.
Better practice however is to use a dedicated machine and use remote desktop to the server.

Where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5 ?

Folks,
Hello. I am using Oracle Linux 5 and Oracle Database 11g for PIA.
Before install Oracle DB 11g into Oracle Linux 5, we need to install X Window System according to the document page 2 http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32285.pdf
But I don't know where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5.
Can any folk provide a link to download X Window System and tutorial to install it for Oracle Linux 5 ?

You can address the problem in a number of different ways.
You can install X-windows from the installation DVD or setup access to the Oracle public software repository as described in http://public-yum.oracle.com. In which case, the command to install X-windows is: yum groupinstall "X Window System"
Or, you login remotely and and use SSH with X-forwarding, in which case the software on the server will use the X-Windows server on your client system. This is probably the preferred way since you do not have X-windows installed on the server. For more details about SSH forwarding and howto, please see Install Oracle 11gR2 on Ubuntu Linux 11.04 (64-bit) Howto part 2 Oracle Universal Installer.

How to install only windows 7 on macbook 4.1?

how to install only windows 7 on macbook4,1?
i have windows 7 dvd, i want to install windows 7 only and does not want to keep msc os 10.5.8. currently i do not have any cd or DVD which came with my macbook. So i need to know:
1- how i install windows 7?
2- 32bit or 64bit windows?
3- after installing how to get drivers of my macbook?

There is no disc of Mountain Lion, and if there were it would not contain drivers, those are on your original OSX disc (the one that came with the machine) or you can download them using Boot Camp Assistant.
You will need a 64 bit copy of Windows, OEM or retail.
