Awn

AWN trunk refuses to start

Asked by Tino

I basically just updated my old AWN by sudoing:

sudo aptitude install avant-window-navigator-trunk awn-extras-applets-trunk

And this is what I get:

(avant-window-navigator:4510): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_key_file_load_from_data: assertion `length != 0' failed

** (avant-window-navigator:4510): WARNING **: Unable to retrieve panels config value: Die Schlüsselwertedatei enthält nicht die Gruppe »panels«

(avant-window-navigator:4510): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_main_quit: assertion `main_loops != NULL' failed

The system I am running is Ubuntu Karmic, AWN version installed is 0.3.9.1.1. I am running compiz on two twinview screens, not having any trouble with anything else..

Any suggestions?

Which -fdo and -vfs modules do you have installed for libdesktop-agnostic?

Sorry for not reacting for so long, but i uninstalled the beta and didnt have much time for debugging or anything. However, after regularly updating to 0.4 I ran into this again. This time the error message is a little more verbose:

(avant-window-navigator:6005): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_key_file_load_from_data: assertion `length != 0' failed

** ERROR **: Unable to retrieve panels config value: Die Schlüsselwertedatei enthält nicht die Gruppe »panels«
aborting...

The error message is german and means "The keyfile doesnt contain the group panels"

Oh, I got another one if I try to start awn-settings:

There are two ways to fix this:
1) Quit Awn, navigate to ~/.config/desktop-agnostic/ and delete all files inside.
2) Install libdesktop-agnostic-cfg-gconf and remove libdesktop-agnostic-cfg-keyfile.

Oh, but I still got the problem with the awn-settings...
I just did the first step. Do i need to follow step two in order to get settings to work?

Alright, after installing libdesktop-agnostic-cfg-gconf settings work again...
