AWN not loading

Hi
Have found that since i moved AWN (panel mode) to the top of the monitor screen it no longer loads at start up. Can anyone suggest a workaround for this, or is it a known bug? :?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

see this section "More info about the AWN panel (Avant Window Navigator)" here and re-install AWN and/or start it with the terminal (you'll have to scroll down as the links don't work on this forum, sorry!):

It could be an issue with 'indicator3 applet' - notifications.

You could always try installing Cairo-Dock DE?:

download/file.php?id=3356&mode=view

You can move the panels around with this DE too.

You may also want to consider:

Thanks for your replies. I have tried reinstalling AWN re "More info about the AWN panel (Avant Window Navigator)" but no change. It seems that AWN loads but it doesn't SHOW. Could this be to do with my dual monitor NVIDIA (resolution) settings?

That information would have been helpful in your OP! ;)

Wait for Wolfman to respond! :D

That would have indeed been helpful info!.

Look for the resolution settings on your monitors and set them to auto configure!. :D

Sorry Wolfman. I didn't think until i read "More info about the AWN panel (Avant Window Navigator)" that it might be the dual monitor NVIDIA settings. I have AWN back, but now the NVIDIA settings are not the same for both monitors. Which i can't figure out because both monitors are the same make and model, and therefore the same native resolution, surely? :?

Hi,

use (install) xrandr to set your monitor settings:

Code:
sudo apt-get install arandr
