Awn

After downloading Extra's I reload SPM and get an error

Asked by Gibby

I am a very very new so please help me and be gentle - Ubuntu 8.04.1 64 bit

I have loaded the AWN and can see it on my desktop but it's empty so I followed the instructions to get the extras.

I have followed the instructions to download the awn-extras-applets-trunk and awn-manager-trunk. After downloading I then try and load them from the SPM and get this message

awn-extras-applets-trunk:
 Depends: libawn0-trunk but it is not going to be installed

I can't do anything after that...

Please help

I followed these instructions

Quick Installation Guide

   1. Open the PPA page (linked above) and select your Ubuntu version from the dropdown.
   2. Open the "Software Sources" configuration dialog, located in System → Administration → Software Sources.
   3. Click on the "Updates" tab and enable the "Recommended Updates" for your distribution. For example, if you're running Gutsy (7.10), then you would enable "Recommended Updates (gutsy-updates)".
   4. Click on the "Third-Party Software" tab.
   5. For each line from the gray box on the PPA page, copy it, click on the "Add" button in "Software Sources", paste the line into the new dialog box, and press OK.
   6. Back in the tab, make sure that both of the new entries are checked. You can now close the Software Sources dialog.
   7. Open the "Synaptic Package Manager", located in System → Administration → Synaptic Package Manager.
   8. Click the "Reload" button. This will download the new Awn package information.
   9. Install the packages named above.

I have deleted awn-manager

And installed awn-manager-trunk

It is now downloading awn-extras-applets-trunk

So I will wait now and see what happens

I will update as soon as I know
