hi mister, To understand your situation: You tried to run Awesome WM (Window Manager) into another WM as Unity, Gnome, KDE etc. Which is provided with your Ubuntu. That's absolutely forbidden!
To workaround try that: Logout from your session from your current WM. Then you arrive at login screen. From there, look for a dropdown menu with 'awesome' in it. If you don't see that menu, just tell us. cheers 2014-06-04 10:28 GMT+02:00 Duc Q. Duong <[email protected]>: > Hi Sir: > > I am trying to install awesome on Ubuntu 14.04.
