Atuin Dev, You're telling me that "awesome" config affects whether or not the package manager works? sorry, my bad. The redaction of the email was so poor. I was meaning the issue related to not having the new programs in the awesome menus and the thing about changing the fonts. obviously the Manager thing is an issue with gobo, you were right there! but those are completely different things and what I was trying to explain (wrongly :) is that for awesome configuration you should read the awesome wiki to understand how does it work. That's insane. Why in hell would the window manager affect the package manager/installer? Bill Dudley This email is free of malware because I run Linux.
