    • The version of Cairo-Dock ('cairo-dock -v' in a terminal). 2.3.1~0alpha0 (BZR, updated 10 minutes ago)
    • Your GNU/Linux distribution (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.). Arch 64-bit
    • Your Window manager (Compiz, Metacity, Kwin, Openbox, etc.). Compiz
    • Your Desktop Environment (Gnome, KDE, XFCE, etc.). Gnome 3
    • How you got the bug and therefore the answer to the question 'How can the bug be reproduced'.

Basically, any time I try to change themes, I get the following errors in the console:
cairo_dock_set_status_message (Importing theme ...)

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Couldn't import the theme Chrome[2].
cairo_dock_set_status_message (Could not import the theme.)

I'm not sure if it's having issues downloading the themes, issues finding the themes after they've been downloaded, or perhaps issues overall regarding the manner in which it's installed. This has been an issue since... maybe since I've installed cairo-dock on this OS, so 4 months? Had previously been using Gentoo and didn't have this issue.

Let me know what else you might need to know or anything you want me to try.

Hello,

This is strange!
Can you check the temporally file in the tmp directory? Maybe the size is null...
Can you also check to download this theme directly there: http://download.tuxfamily.org/glxdock/themes/themes2.2/ and then launch this command:
tar xfz "YOUR_FILE" -C "/home/joe/.config/cairo-dock/themes"


Can you also try to change a gauge theme? (WiFi, System Monitor). Or the clock theme, Mail theme, etc.

There's nothing downloaded to the /tmp directory regarding themes (or at all?).

Manually extracting the theme then allowed it to be an option with a star by it (I presume to mean that it's locally installed) instead of a globe (which I take is download from the net). Changing the theme among the available star options worked.

Also, changing the gauge themes worked as well.

So, it'd seem it's a matter of where they're getting downloaded and what the computer is then doing with them.

hmm, it's maybe because I'm remaking the themes, so I've changed the link to point to the new folder for the 2.4, but maybe I've missed something
I'll check that, thanks for reporting.

I have some problem with the theme too :

The version of Cairo-Dock ('cairo-dock -v' in a terminal). --> 2.1.3-10-lucid
Your GNU/Linux distribution (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.). --> Debian AMD64
Your Window manager (Compiz, Metacity, Kwin, Openbox, etc.). --> Compiz
Your Desktop Environment (Gnome, KDE, XFCE, etc.). --> Gnome 2.30.2

how the bug happend :

1 start cairo-dock from the Application -> System menu
2 right click on the dock, change theme
3 navigate on the theme list, click on all, and then choose one and click on apply
4 right click on the dock, change theme : the theme list is empty !

owever, when i start the cairo with OpenGL i dont see it, and there is no bug :

Now that I've gone back to try again with today's build, (I think 774 was last commit of cairo-dock?), downloading of icons and themes works again for me. So, perhaps whatever change worked for me broke it for you?

yep, I have uploaded the themes a few days ago, so they are now back !
I've upgraded 2/3 of them (in alphabetical order), so feel free to report any problem on them
