AWN Wont Launch after Installation from App

Asked by Raj Dharwad

Hi Guys,

i am running on Gutzy, i have already installed all the dependencies using Automake1.9, i had first installed awn using synaptic, then i did sudo apt-get install bzr, & the next one {sudo apt-get install build-essential autotools-dev libxdamage-dev libxcomposite-dev libgnome2-common libgnome2-dev libgnome-desktop-dev libgnome-vfs-dev libgtk2.0-dev libwnck-dev libgconf2-dev libglib2.0-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libgnomevfs2-0 libgnome-desktop-2 libgnome2-0 libwnck-common python-gtk2 python-gconf bzr gnome-common python-dev python-gtk2-dev python-cairo-dev python-gconf python-gnome2-dev
bzr co http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~awn-curves-team/awn/awn-curves awn-curves
cd awn-curves
./autogen.sh && make
sudo make install}

but after the installation AWN appears on my applications & preferences, but neither one launches when i click on it, i dont have enough programming knowledge, i ran awn-manager & this is wat is get:-
root@Ruby:~# awn-manager
/usr/local/share/avant-window-navigator/awn-manager/awnPreferences.py:241: DeprecationWarning: raising a string exception is deprecated
  raise "\nKey: "+key+" isn't set.\nRestarting AWN usually solves this issue\n"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/awn-manager", line 199, in <module>
    awnmanager = AwnManager()
  File "/usr/local/bin/awn-manager", line 100, in __init__
    self.prefManager = awnPreferences(self.wTree)
  File "/usr/local/share/avant-window-navigator/awn-manager/awnPreferences.py", line 149, in __init__
    self.setup_chooser(APP_ACTIVE_PNG, self.wTree.get_widget("activefilechooser"))

    raise "\nKey: "+key+" isn't set.\nRestarting AWN usually solves this issue\n"

Key: /apps/avant-window-navigator/app/active_png isn't set.
Restarting AWN usually solves this issue
