Avant Window Navigator, a very popular dock a while back, has been deleted from the official Ubuntu 12.10 repositories, so to make it easier to install, I've uploaded it to the main WebUpd8 PPA.





Please note though, that since AWN hasn't been updated in a long time, some applets won't work!

Although the application isn't used as much as a few years ago, it's can still be useful on various desktop environments / shells like GNOME Shell, Xfce, GNOME fallback session and so on. So here's how to install it in Ubuntu 12.10.

Install Avant Window Navigator In Ubuntu 13.04 Or 12.10

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator

In other AWN-related news: today I've pushed a patch from BZR to the DockBarX PPA which fixes the DockBarX Avant Window Navigator applet:

For older Ubuntu versions, you don't need to add our PPA since AWN is available in the official repositories so you can install it via Ubuntu Software Center.To install it, see our previous DockBarX article: DockBarX Sees New Release, Now Available For MATE Desktop Too
