Thread: AWN Dock on ubuntu hardy

================================================== =

This is for Hardy users only

Avant Windows Navigator (AWN) depends upon compiz and please activate desktop effects before installing AWN on ubuntu.

First you need to edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file using the following command

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

add the following two lines at the end

deb Index of /reacocard-awn/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src Index of /reacocard-awn/ubuntu hardy main

Save and exit the file.

Update the source list using the following command

sudo aptitude update

Install Avant Window Navigator (AWN) in Ubuntu

sudo aptitude install avant-window-navigator-bzr awn-core-applets-bzr

This will complete the installation

Now you can start AWN from

Applications->Accessories->Avant Window Navigator

Enjoy and as you know you can config/ modify it according to your chose and taste

Vibes i get the following message when i run
sudo aptitude update

Code:

E: Malformed line 56 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (URI parse)
E: Couldn't read list of package sources

have you updated this in
deb Index of /reacocard-awn/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src Index of /reacocard-awn/ubuntu hardy main
sources.list file or not

if this is coming then you can simply go ahead and add these 2 sources in software sources from administration

I am using AWN dock but my problem is whenever I restart my system i have to manually start the dock. I want it to be started automatically whenever I boot to my desktop.
I am sure this should be possible. If someone has done this already please help me out.

Edit:
I found the solution here:

you can do it this way otherwise simply go to synaptic package manager and search for awn manager
the very first thing which comes in list is awn-manager install it and enjoy
thats the easy way
