I started up Glx-dock on my Ubuntu 12.04 system about a week and a half ago and liked the look a lot, but I was getting occasional system crashes, so I stopped using it. (Not saying glx-dock was causing the crashes -- just being cautious.) Ubuntu 12.04 is getting more and more stable (approaching release in April), so I decided to give Glx-dock another go. So far so good.
When I started up glx-dock this morning, a little panel popped up to tell me that I was now using version 3.0, with many improvements, so I thought it would be good to come here and register, and try to get oriented. As yet, I know nothing about Glx-dock, and little about Ubuntu (previously I used Fedora 6).
I'm using gnome-shell (in preference to unity) in Ubuntu. "cairo-dock -v" returns "3.0.0.0rc1".
Congratulations on a very stylish looking and (presumably) useful application!

Hello and welcome on GLX-Dock forums
It's a good idea to come here and register.
Don't hesitate to ask here any questions, to propose any ideas (or what you want) and to report bugs  |

the dock will work nicely with Gnome-Shell (well I guess, since I'm not using it), but you may want to replace the Gnome-Shell with a pure Cairo-Dock session (you can choose the type of session when you log in). |

I noticed a couple of login options there, and I'll give them a try, soon. At the moment, I'm having trouble keeping Ubuntu 12.04 from crashing, without even trying Glx-Dock. |

Hello Everybody,
I'm using Arch and I can install cairo-dock 3 from the AUR. I don't use gdm to login. When my machine starts, it goes to the text mode, I login in the text mode and run startx to go to gnome-shell. I want to replace gnome-shell with cairo-dock (i.e. when I startx, gnome-shell doesn't start and cairo-dock will do all the window managements) but don't know how. Is there any webpage that tells me how? |

It's not the right place for this bug report but I'll quickly answer (please post new answer on a new topic).
First, did you compile the dock with this CMake flag: -Denable-desktop-manager=yes
If no, compile cairo-dock-core with this flag or go to this directory on the source code and read the CMakeLists.txt file to know where install each file: data/desktop-manager
Maybe it can be interesting to edit this file: cairo-dock.session
(e.g. you can remove this line: IsRunnableHelper ; and edit this line if you want to use another WM: DefaultProvider-windowmanager)
If you want to launch your Cairo-Dock session without GDM, you can launch your session with this command: gnome-session --session=cairo-dock
Does it work well?
(PS: note that you can also use Cairo-Dock with Compiz Standalone => https://launchpad.net/cairo-dock-session) |
