Problems with Avant Dock on UNR

Hello everyone

I´ve tried installing the Avant Dock on my AAO 8gb running Ubuntu Netbook Remix, but every time I try to open AWN-manager, it automatically closes. Does anyone know how to make it work with UNR?

Thanks

 

I beleive Avant & Cairo docks require compiz enabled to run. Not on my AA1 right now to see if compiz is installed by default. If it is installed, then it just needs to be enabled.

Did you go into preferences/sessions and uncheck UME?

 

Yes. UME launcher is disabled.
I´ll keep trying here to make it work.

 

Also, if I try to start awn-manager through Terminal, it tells me the following:

/usr/share/avant-window-navigator/awn-manager/awnPreferences.py:242: 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):

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