Hello everybody,
I am using cairo-dock v3.0.0 on Ubuntu 12.04.
I would like to know if it would be possible to tell Ubuntu to launch cairo without OpenGL when logging in from the logging manager. In fact, itr seems that by default it launches it with OpenGL, which does not work well for me.
Now I know that I can kill the launched cairo and relaunch it with the -c option, but I would really like that Ubuntu launches it directly with this option. I looked in the lightdm and gdm configuration file but I could not find anything. I also googled a lot but I only end up on posts explaining how to launch cairo at start-up with "startup application preferences", and since it seems that this is not how it is launched by Ubuntu it does not answer my question.
Thank you in advance for your help! |

Hi again,
Just to say that I succeeded to solve my problem. It appeared actually that when I launched cairo with only the 'cairo-dock' command, the OpenGL backend was used by default, and it seems that lightdm is using this command. So I launched cairo with 'cairo-dock -A' once, selected remember this choice and choose no when asked if I wanted to use OpenGL.
Hoping that this may be useful to others. |

indeed, without any option (-c or -o), the dock will try to use OpenGL, if it detects a correct configuration (usually, it can do it, so I wonder what kind of your graphic card you have ?)
anyway thanks for sharing your solution on the forum |
