TypeError: expected a character buffer object
I have the same problem but i believe that the problem is "TypeError in GnoMenu: expected a character buffer object", the first step is in terminal to put:
1. sudo apt-get remove avant-window- navigator avant-window- navigator- data awn-settings awn-applets-c-core libawn1 vala-awn && sudo apt-get autoremove
Now download the package awn
2.https:/ /launchpad. net/awn/
next you needed review and following the step to step for her respective installation here:

if you have some problem with the compilation saying this error while compile

You probably have to install the development version of the Python package

As the error message says, try installing python-dev if you don't already have it. There may also be other *python*-dev packages that are needed, but that's a good place to start.
2. option.
in terminal
Code:
sudo apt-get build-dep avant-window- navigator
with this comand install all the packages that needed awn and probably the GnoMenu work perfectly.
Good Look.
