Which Linux distribution (and version number) are you using?

How did you install Awn?

Could you please create a backtrace? Instructions for doing so are at the wiki:
http://wiki.awn-project.org/SubmittingBugReports#Producing_a_good_backtrace

[Daniel (bigweld)]

You have to type "run", then avant-window-navigator should start running. When a line of output says SIGSEGV and drops you back to the (gdb) prompt, then you type "bt".

I don't know if it can help, but AWN works in a new account created this evening...

[Mark Lee (malept)]

Could you attach this file to the bug:

/home/daniel/.gnome2/panel2.d/default/launchers/daniel-1.desktop

[Daniel (bigweld)]

As the first error message says this file:
>/home/daniel/.gnome2/panel2.d/default/launchers/daniel-1.desktop
Doesn't exist...either anywhere in the file system
The parent directory
 >/home/daniel/.gnome2/panel2.d/default/launchers/
Is currently empty and only stocks launchers added via awn-manager
  Before the upgrade the following applets where activated
Cairo-menu/Quick logout/weather/trash
  The following launcher where installed
Thunderbird/firefox/Transmission/Rhythmbox/Brasero
These launchers where added to AWN bar in a graphical way (pick in main menu and slide to the running bar)

If I create a new account (named simple i.e.), AWN seems to work and no reference to a file simple-1.desktop appears in /home/simple/.gnome2/panel2.d/default/launchers/

[Mark Lee (malept)]

Oh, OK. My French isn't very good. I'll push a fix sometime today, and hopefully reacocard will have it in his repository soon.

[Daniel (bigweld)]

Oups!!

[Mark Lee (malept)]

Could you please try the latest packages in reacocard's repository? They were updated in the last 18 hours or so.

[wim vandenbussche (vandenbussche-wim)]

problem solved with the new update.
Thanks a lot!

[Mark Lee (malept)]

I'll mark this as "Fix Committed", then, unless someone finds that this behavior still occurs.

[Daniel (bigweld)]

I confirm .
Last update solved the problem.
