Welcome to the list of Hardy users with this issue :-)
[Q]



I'm just waiting to see if anyone who's has built from source on hardy in the last day sees the same thing. I want to confirm if it is just a PPA package issue or a general Hardy issue.... my suspicion is that it is just a case of Hardy being broken in general.

Well..I installed from source again, awn-core-testing and
awn-applets-testing.
[Q]



The install misses to build the executable in usr/bin
[Q]



If I then installs gilir packages, core and awn-manager, NOT
the applets package everything works.
[Q]



Do we have any rm command list for every AWN directory ?
[Q]



Its probably better to be sure that start from "scratch"... :)

Hardy is a little unpolished for the moment...D

In both the awn-core source dir and the awn-extras source dir should do it.

Interesting. And good to know. I guess there may be an issue with the PPA build of extras.

Ubuntu packages will not be update for testing branch. Instead, some *-trunk packages are available in the same repository, build with trunk instead of testing.

Launched avant-window-manager and all is well - not one single problem. I'm using the Awn Main Menu and File Browser applets and made my own theme. I'm using the awn testing releases here and it seems to be quite stable. The only thing I noticed is that I added the Awn Terminal applet, clicked on it and nothing happened so I removed the applet from my list - no problem as I have a launcher for gnome-terminal.

For Terminal Applet: Right click on that and choose preferences - for some reason, 0% opacity is the default opacity, which makes it invisible. Then you can also launch gnome-terminal with middle click on the icon

Ah, thank you for this info.. problem solved. I just noticed that the "Hide on Unfocus" option for the awn terminal applet doesn't seem to work, which is not a big deal to me, I'll use this nice applet anyway.

Also, I just realized that you can make a launcher for gedit, then drag and drop a text file on the launcher icon and gedit opens that text file.

Ah, thank you for this info.. problem solved. I just noticed that the "Hide on Unfocus" option for the awn terminal applet doesn't seem to work, which is not a big deal to me, I'll use this nice applet anyway.

Yes thanks, the opacity was a problem for me too. As far as the focus behavior goes, shouldn't this by default obey the settings key in AWN? Is that not currently happening?

Is there any advantage to this repository over Reacocard's?

Vala applet support. Also, Awn Testing may or may not be updated more often (depends on reacocard's schedule, I think).

I have been working on the applet Pandora and would like to request to join the launchpad team so I can send it to commit. I made the applet figure out the current flash file of Pandora so it doesn't get broken again, it's automated by Beautiful Soup and urllib2, which are two deps I'm not sure are registered for the package. I'm planning on doing a few more changes to make it a little easier in some situations people may use the applet in.

Thanks for actually using a thread to request membership! (People don't seem to understand that these days...)
[Q]



urllib2 comes with Python, so it's fine.
[Q]



As for BeautifulSoup, I would greatly prefer it if no new dependencies were added (mostly because it means that it needs to be added to the autoconf script, and then to the wiki for all of the distros listed...not to mention notifying all of the package maintainers that there's a new dependency). Perhaps try refactoring it to use the htmllib or HTMLParser modules?
[Q]



You should start by filing a bug on Launchpad with the patch that you created, so that people can review it.

okay, Would it be better if I included the single .py file that Beautiful Soup is into the folder for a local import that way there will not be an additional dep anyone needs to know about. I could try and change my code to htmllib, but I like how beautiful soup works and would prefer using it if possible. I will file the bug after any changes I might need, but should the patch be a diff file , my modified file, or something else? I've not had much experience with group coding, so I'm not sure how to go about it. I've usually been the only one on a project I'm working on, so I've not needed to worry about patches or commits from many people.

While I don't like having to add new dependencies, bundling libraries is even more strongly discouraged.

A diff is preferred.

okay, converted it to htmllib and started adding features but don't have enough time right now to fix the bugs so I commented out the player stopping. I also made the applet adhere to some of the standards I found on the wiki about how applets should perform. Creating bug report now
