I've already Googled this problem, and it seems that the only solution is running:
Code:
nvidia-settings -a InitialPixmapPlacement=2 -a GlyphCache=1
in the terminal. However, this barely helped me.
I've heard it's a problem Docky has with nVidia drivers, which I use.
Does anyone have a solution? Docky is so slow it is essentially unusable at this point. Cairo dock seems too glitchy, so I guess it's back to AWN.
I clicked on the anchor in Docky and then clicked on New Dock. This created a second dock which is empty. I want to remove this second empty dock. How is that done?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to remove the anchor icon from Docky. I found instructions to go into gconf-editor and set "apps/docky-2/docky/items/DockyItem/ShowDockyItem" to false. Only problem is, this item does not appear.
The only folders in apps/docky-2/docky/items/ are ColoredIconDockItem and WnckDockItem. Inside ColoredIconDockItem, there's a key called DockyItem set at value 193. I tried changing/deleting that and restarting Docky, but it keeps defaulting back. I also removed and reinstalled Docky, but I found the same thing. Does anyone know how I can find the right value to change?
I certainly do not want to install Elementary OS, and just want a similar interface. I already installed docky, but Unity gets in the way. Is there a way I can disable that? Also, can I hide the docky application icon on Docky? Or is there a better way to do this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter having tried to fix the plymouth without any successfully result (i am meanning the thread i began few weeks ago and sited here: [URL]. I decided to keep nvidia's privates drives on giving up any hope to fix the plymouth bug and, right now, i would like to optimize or configurate the drivers properly like it is on Mandriva One 2010.
Perhaps someone is not exactly understand what i want to say. Well, i was using Mandriva One 2010 before installing Ubuntu Maverick and i have noticed there was no a low latency, lag effect, low performance or a lack of initial smooth and clean windows moves in Mandriva One 2010 but on Ubuntu there is.
This is very hard to explain for me, for example, If i use the "flip windows selector" (i mean, pressing "<Super>+Tab" keys) show me this effect too slow initially but if i forced the GPU for a while (repeating and pressing the keys), the lag effects vanished and then, the flip windows selector works nicely fast, clean and smooth. Now if i stop to use that effects, let the Nvidia GPU repose a while and use again the flip windows selector again, the lag effects come up again.
This fact does not just happen using the "flip windows selectos", any effects which minimize, resize or maxime the windows generate that annoying initial lag effects, for example, a simple minimize windows:
I am in despair with this, i do not if i have to do some change in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, what i have to configurate in the "Nvidia X server Settings" or in the "compiz manager settings" application.
Anyone knows a tutorial about how to optimize the Nvidia drivers on Ubuntu? or the Compiz effects to reduce the lag effets?

I'm using the PAE kernels, need the devs for nvidia kernel building,can I remove all the non PAE kernels without damage please?
The driver has crashed X and before I had a chance to find RPMfusion instructions on dealing with initrd, I removed the package just to keep X running.Uninstalling the package does not restore kernel and Xorg operation. I am still in VESA mode.Although they claim they don't put stuff in non-standard places and use RPM, still there is something left over, as nuoveau driver no longer loads.Now that system configuration is all over the place, it is not clear what they actually changed or replaced.

I like to try different combinations of *buntu in the several partitions on my first drive. One combo I enjoy playing with is the Minimal CD with Openbox or some other small footprint window manager.I'd like to try Docky, but the need for compositing is a problem for me. I don't want to install Gnome, KDE, or XFCE, because I don't want all the stuff that comes with them.Can you tell me the packages I need to install to get Docky working? Are Compiz and Docky enough?Will Compiz serve as a standalone window manager and automatically start at logon?

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis year in college I've had the liberty to be learning about Linux. This was mostly in the shell so a lot of GUI applications we didn't use. The fun part of this all is that once you know how to work in Bash. Linux isn't all so frightening and confusing anymore ! So I've decided to finally take the shot on switching from Windows to Ubuntu Desktop and I must say I'm quite amazed with the customization you can do in Ubuntu.I just installed Docky and I installed Gnome Do. Now it has come to my attention that Gnome Do can integrate with Docky however I do have a small question concerning the customization of the Dock bar. In Gnome Do I would really like to have the panel look from Docky and I was wondering if this is possible. To me it seems that it's only possible to use the 3D look which looks a lot like Mac OSx. I'm aiming for a bit of a Windows 7 interface however.
View 7 Replies View RelatedLook at the screenshot, I have only one file in trash but AWN and Docky counts 47+1 items. When it's empty it counts 47, and there's no way to really empty. But files are really gone. It doesn't happens with Cairo Dock (I don't know why).

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm running 10.10 (32bit), and for some reason, whenever I have Docky running in 3D mode, it glitches up, and I can see graphics/lines extending out of the dock.
My ATI drivers seem to be fine.
It's been two weeks now since I can't have my inbox checked on Docky's Gmail applet, and its a drag because I need an integrated mail notification and Docky is perfect.
So, here are the facts:
- have tried it on both 10.04 i386 and 10.10 amd64, identical problem
- after new installation works on till the first reboot, then stops. You see just the icon and when clickin "refresh" there's no "turning circle thingy inside the icon" which tells you it's refreshing. (and there's mail in the inbox).
- I haven't managed to find the docky configuration file, only something in the cache and configuration directory in home. Where is the real configuration file for Docky?
I'm talking about the 2.1 version.
I recently installed stacks for Docky using the script of this link here [URL]
Until that, everything is okay. I can drag and drop folders to Docky, and when I click 'em I can easily see it's content like in Mac OS or Cairo.
But the problem here is that I wanted to make an Application folder like in Mac OS X. I made a folder that I called aplications and there I put all the applications I have installed.
But, when I try to open an app from the Docky, it just opens gedit with info about the app I'm trying to open. Is it related that all the application's names are .desktop files? Is that an executable?
Below I leave two caps, the first is of the folder opened in Docky stacks. The second is of what I get when I try to open and application directly from stacks.
In today's updates there was an update for Docky to go from 2.0.5 to 2.0.6. The thing I thought was odd was that the update was only around 600 or 700kb in size where as its normally around ~13mb.
When I restarted the computer docky loaded but the whole system froze and wouldn't respond to either mouse or keyboard so I did a hard restart. Now Docky won't load either on restart or from the program menu but it is present in the System Monitor (see attached image).
and docky by activating the docky theme for do. But the theme is not listed in the appearance tab. Also i'm trying to find out how gnome-do and docky function: where does it pick up the icons for my launchers from? some icons are awefully low in resolution although the high resolution ones are in stock in /usr/share/icons/gnome/appsFinally i can't find where the custom settings of docky are saved, is there a configuration file somewhere?
