View 6 RepliesMy cairo dock is acting funny.The desktop switcher is somehow at the top of the screen now. The other thing is that if i set the dock to the left side of the screen it moves to the right side of the screen but faces the other way, and if I move it to the top it stays at the bottom but is upside down

Making install in src

Cairo was working fine for me then randomly I see a huge black box behind it. I also cannot access my desktop effects along with it to activate compiz. I googled here and on the net trying different commands such as
:~> xgl-switch --enable-xgl
If 'xgl-switch' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf xgl-switch

Today I was using Gchempaint (part of Gnome Chemistry Tools) and found that the F12 version fails miserably to correctly export H to xyz. So I decided to install the latest version I found (0.11). There are, however, some problems I must sort out during compilation.
Apparently it does not see my 'cairo' installation and so I get the following error message:
Code:
checking for cairo... configure: error: Package requirements (cairo >= 1.6.0) were not met: No package 'cairo' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix.Alternatively, you may set the environment variables cairo_CFLAGS and cairo_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.
Why can I NOT drag a Launcher to Cairo-dock.I know I did it once before.I tried to uninstall /reinstalled, reboot ect. No Luck.

I have removed it from synaptic and also removed it by doing this sudo apt-get remove cairo-dock cairo-dock-plug-ins in the terminal
But each time i restart, it loads up every time.
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 with Cairo-Dock and having a problem with the GMenu add on. I have GMenu set to show the application Icons, but that feature does not work. GMenu is coming up with a list of my applications without the Icons. Any suggestion on how to fix that?

View 4 Replies View RelatedIn cairo-dock when I hover over the 'shortcuts' applet it shows me what's in my 'places' menu, but I have to click twice on any object to open it, and then it opens two instances of whatever I opened. As in I click once, could wait up to an hour probably, then click again and finally it opens up but twice.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been having problems with Cairo dock always showing below other windows. I have tried launching it with cairo-dock --keep-above and cairo-dock -a but to I have had no success. Even editing the settings from the configure to be "always on top" does not work.It was working before where it would appear above when I put the cursor at the bottom of the screen, but it isn't anymore, for whatever reason.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI used to be able to see the labels above the icons in the dock when I hover over them. For some reason I can't see them now. I think I may have turned something off in the Cairo Dock settings and can't remember where to implement this functionality again.
View 2 Replies View Relatedi have just installed cairodock and configured my first panel on the left side of the desktop. now i would like to have a second panel on teh bottom of the desktop for system tray icons. but i cant find teh option to have 2 panels. how do i do it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI bring up Ubuntu 10.10 today and cairo-dock is all messed up. There is only a box on the left end of where it used to appear at the bottom of my desktop.There is no icons and no ability to do anything with it. It was perfectly fine yesterday, which is what I do not understand.
I installed some gstreamer updates, but that was after it was messed up and the updates didn't change anything.I am using the latest version of nVidia driver 260.19.29At first I tried purging compiz, cairo-dock and all the plugins, extras, etc, CCSM as well as Simple CCSM. Then I reinstalled everything fresh and nothing changed.I even tried removing the kernel 2.6.35-24-generic and reinstalling it and still no bueno!
When I try to even open Simple CCSM via System > Preferences, the cursor indicates activity for a while and then nothing.Right clicking on the desktop and attempting to change visual effects to any thing but None yields some weird stuff and then a message "Desktop effects could not be enabled".
Like I said it was fine yesterday and has been fine since installation until today. It cannot be the video driver or any of the obvious solutions as I have had this driver for quite a while and everything was perfect until now.And please don't say try Docky or AWN. Been there and done that and I prefer Cairo-dock open GL.

I didn't pay to much attention. I want it back and I just want to hide it with a really long delay which I can do no problem.

The hard disk is divided into three partitions, root (sda3)sda1 and sda2, the trash applet will change from empty to full if I delete something on the Desktop, but the trash remains empty when I delete documents from sda1 and sda2.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have been using Cairo dock for a little while now with little problems. I have hooked up a monitor to my Lenovo T60 laptop for the first time. Problem is the Cairo Dock now spreads across both screens (which I can live with) and has an ugly black square around it that prevents me from using the bottom of the screen.
There is a similar query here ([URL]...ighlight=cairo)

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've notice that cairo dock has jitter when you move the mouse over the Dock. Indeed if you install Gnome Do (Docky) you notice that when you move the mouse over the bar the effect is very smooth. I don't understand why cairo dock is less smooth in movement but i finally found a solution:
1- Close cairo-dock bar;
2- Go to ~/.config/cairo-dock/current_theme/
3- Open the file cairo-dock.conf with gedit
4- Now press ctrl+f and insert in the search: refresh frequency
5- Now you have to modify the line:
#i-[5;60] Refresh frequency when mouving cursor into the dock : #{in Hz. This is to adjust regarding your CPU power.} refresh frequency=35 in thi s way: #i-[5;120] Refresh frequency when mouving cursor into the dock :
#{in Hz. This is to adjust regarding your CPU power.} refresh frequency=120
6- save the modification;
7- start cairo-dock;
This is an example of bad programmation, a lot of possibility to configure the dock but no one of this it's adequately cured.
I'm not sure about the proper name for this, I believe it's a subdock menu (?)Anyway, let the picture speak for itself. The icons are a little shifted to the right hand side.dock.jpgP.S.: I'm using the Macbuntu package, which originally comes with Docky but I replaced it with Cairo. I don't think it has any influence on the matter, though.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'd read there was some work being done on cairo-dock this weekend (and noticed it absent from the Package Manager) and upon installing earlier today, I didn't find any of the previously available dock themes.
Were they removed for some reason or am I doing something wrong?
(Oh, and I'm looking within the 'Manage Themes' submenu within cairo-dock for reference.)
I installed Cairo Dock for ubuntu 9.10 and I downloaded the plugins and extracted them to a folder. How do you install the plugins? I downloaded cairo-dock-plugins-2.1.3-2.tar.gz. When the download finished, I opened the folder and it requested I extract them, which I did. But I don't know how to use them.
