Don't forget to read our very complete Wiki (glx-dock.org/ww_page.php) !
But don't be shy to post all your questions or bugs here !

However before you post a message on the forum and to speed up things, don't forget to include as much informations as you can (if it's possible ):
    • The version of Cairo-Dock ('cairo-dock -v' in a terminal).
    • Your GNU/Linux distribution (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.).
    • Or you using OpenGL or not.
    • Your Window manager (Compiz, Metacity, Kwin, Openbox, etc.).
    • Your Desktop Environment (Gnome, KDE, XFCE, etc.).
    • How you got the bug and therefore the answer to the question 'How can the bug be reproduced'.
    • If it's a crash, you can launch Cairo-Dock from a terminal ('cairo-dock') and post the output.
    • Any other details you think could be useful .

Have you tried running it with cairo-dock -c ?

Both fail - interestingly if I remove the akmod.nvidia and all associated nvidia drivers etc, and leave nouveau disabled - then reboot and run it (with really lowend graphics and hugh fonts and text) it works.

Soooo it looks like it's something in the nvidia drivers causing this....?!?

Those errors above on starting are ok? They look pretty ominous to me.

I will try running nouveau drivers and see if I can getting it running with those to rule out a problem with the nvidia drivers, but i wouldn't have thought they would cause a problem?

It's not a problem if you don't have Compiz

But it's strange to have a lot of errors like this one: Key file does not have key
Do you always remove this dir before launching the dock? ~/.config/cairo-dock
Or is there a problem with the permissions?

Hi,

Key file does not have key

it's a new option that didn't exist in your current theme

No value set for `/desktop/gnome/interface/font_name'

it means gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/interface/font_name doesn't work; maybe this value has been moved to dconf;
could you please try gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface document-font-name and dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/interface/font-name ?

pango_font_description_from_string: assertion 'str != NULL' failed

that's because we couldn't get the font

_cairo_dock_create_surface_from_desktop_bg: assertion 'iRootPixmapID != 0' failed

the Switcher applet couldn't get the wallpaper; maybe GS doesn't use standard methods to set the wallpaper ?

_cd_find_volume_name_from_drive_name: assertion 'pDrive != NULL' failed

shortcuts applet complain, I think it can be safely ignored if you see all your partitions and bookmarks

which: no compiz in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/home/ph/bin:/opt/java/jdk/bin:/opt/java/jdk/jre/bin:/home/ph/.local/bin:/home/ph/bin:/home/ph/bin:/opt/java/jdk/bin:/opt/java/jdk/jre/bin:/home/ph/.local/bin:/home/ph/bin)

it's maybe the Composite-Manager applet which tries to check which Window Managers are present

No I just wanted to show from a stock environment - ie it's not a config problem causing it

the Switcher applet couldn't get the wallpaper; maybe GS doesn't use standard methods to set the wallpaper ?

Ok - i have a wallpaper changer script so no problems there

_cd_find_volume_name_from_drive_name: assertion 'pDrive != NULL' failed

shortcuts applet complain, I think it can be safely ignored if you see all your partitions and bookmarks

I don't see the bar at all. All I see is the workspace indicator on the desktop but the dock itself doesn't show at all!

Further to my last post here is an error when running with the nouveau drivers:

cairo-dock -o
warning : (/builddir/build/BUILD/cairo-dock-3.2.1/cairo-dock/src/gldit/cairo-dock-opengl.c:cairo_dock_initialize_opengl_backend:202)

So still no dock appearing - just the workspace desktop plugin shows, which allows me to right click on it and get the cairo-dock menu so i can exit

You're right about the gconf not working:

gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/interface/font_name
No value set for `/desktop/gnome/interface/font_name'


This bug appears to be affecting alot of people - not the gconf part but the bar itself either not loading, or having missing icons, or only working when the -c option. It appears to be slowly regressing and it appears to be a bug in one of the mesa libraries.

I have had issues with cairo-dock since upgrading from Ubuntu 12.10, each successive version of ubuntu\cairo-dock release got buggier. For one reason or another I have switched over to Fedora where it appears the mesa drivers are in an even worse state than Ubuntu, because I could at least run cairo-dock with opengl in Ubuntu, with manually installed nvidia proprietary drivers as well....

So a switch to get a more stable gnome-shell environment has left me without one of the things I "must" have - cairo-dock

Should I try building an earlier version of CD or would that be pointless?

Can you tell me how to debug CD also? are there debug env variables, or should I build it with debug flags set etc to try and help track down the cause of this?

Here is a screenshot of what it looks like. The configuration is to always be on top.

What I did here was boot with the latest Fedora 20 Live Desktop iso. Then I installed the rpmfusion repos, then installed cairo-dock with dependencies, and ran it. So completely pristine environment and easy to reproduce if you want to test it out yourself

I doubt the result will be better, since you already tried 2 versions

I think that maybe Fedora20 is still too much in an early stage
what's your graphic card by the way ? usually proprietary nvidia drivers are quite reliable

gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface document-font-name
'Sans 11'
dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/interface/font-name
'Cantarell 11'

thank you
which value is correct for you (it should be the same as the one you get in menus) ?
and since the dock doesn't find the default font, which font do you get in the icons' labels (if you can recognize it) ?

My card is an NVidia GTX 560TI 1Gb - and yes usually the proprietary drivers are the ones that work best and I've been using them manually installed for years.

I think the Cantarell is the one that's for the interface and therefore should be the one used for the Icons. But I can't really tell easily by looking

Is there any other info I can provide you or some debug settings I can apply to get you more info?

well, you could try to run another desktop environment (for instance, running Compiz or Metacity instead of GS), just in case the problem would be in GS
I don't have any idea as to why the nvidia drivers wouldn't work as they should

I can confirm that both the 3.2.1 and 3.3.2 work in fedora 19 with gnome shell 3.8.2.

Gnome-shell is moving to mutter and wayland so perhaps there is something there that is causing this... But with Fedora 20 being released in 5 days time, I think you will be getting alot of complaints once people start installing it, as gnome-shell 3.10.2 is the default desktop for it.

I'll raise a bug if there isn't already one raised, because someone got it working in Fedora 20 otherwise they wouldn't have included it in the repo for fedora 20 (I assume so anyway)...

I'll guarantee you it won't be the nvidia drivers causing this, because it's not working even with the nouveau drivers. It dosn't work on the default Fedora Live build with nothing else installed. But I can boot into the Fedora 19 live build and install cairo-dock and it runs perfectly right away.

So yes the logical thing is that it is something in Gnome-Shell causing this as that is a major upgrade from 3.8.2 to 3.10.2 and there are all sorts of issues with it.

Hi Fabounet,

Ok I installed XFCE and ran Cairo-Dock it displays but here is the kickker:

When first starting it has a BIG black rectangle and a message pops up:

If I select the X, the rectangle stays, and the dock works as normal straight away, and asks me each restart if I want to enable the composite manager

So I logged back into Gnome-Shell and started cairo-dock and it starts and display's properly.

So it is some bug with the composite manager. Once I had selected the tick in XFCE, it remembered that setting. So even if I deleted the .config/cairo-dock folder, and restarted it with cairo-dock -o it wouldn't ask me to enable the composite manager in XFCE. So it appears to store that setting somewhere else. What I needed to do to get it to ask me about the composite manager was to add the composite plugin to the dock, toggle it off, then close the dock, and delete the .config/cairo-dock folder.

Then on startup with cairo-dock -o it would ask me again if I wanted to enable it.

If I try do those steps in Gnome-shell ie disabling the composite manager it kills gnome-shell completely with these errors on the cli:

Window manager warning: Log level 16: STACK_OP_RAISE_ABOVE: sibling window 0x2800019 not in stack
Window manager warning: Log level 16: STACK_OP_LOWER_BELOW: sibling window 0x2800019 not in stack
_cairo_dock_create_surface_from_desktop_bg: assertion 'iRootPixmapID != 0' failed
warning : (/builddir/build/BUILD/cairo-dock-3.2.1/plug-ins/switcher/src/applet-load-icons.c:cd_switcher_load_desktop_bg_map_surface:197)
couldn't get the wallpaper


I had to pull up my terminal and type in gnome-shell --replace &

Once I load Cairo-Dock back up again however the composite manager isn't disabled, it's still enabled, so it means that step to disable the composite manager is not working, and I can't test my theory.

So the way I see it what should happen, if I log back into XFCE, and disable the composite manager, then exit the dock, delete the cairo-dock folder, logout, log into gnome-shell and start cairo-dock, it should be back to the default behaviour of only showing the workspace plugin on the desktop and no dock.

I'll report back onec I've done it.

FOR F$^$#&KS SAKE!

It has nothing to do with Cairo-dock. It has to do with the F#^&*# problem with gnome-shell's new mutter code. What is happening is my monitor is being detected as 7" now since gnome-shell 3.10.2. instead of 55".

So because of that it is screwing up all the DPI settings for fonts, cursors, gtk application windows.... so basically it is like having a 640x840 desktop screen resolution. As a work around I had to scale to fonts back to 0.5, and yesterday I was given a hack to restore the window scaling. That hack to scale the windows is what has "fixed" my cairo-dock....

Basically I removed that setting

/etc/environment and removed the line GDK_SCALE=1, I rebooted and now the dock isn't displaying and I can only see the workspace plugin again on the desktop! What I have also just noticed is that without that setting the desktop itself is being expanded down past the bottom of my screen, so it's like the dock is displaying off screen in fairy land.

I'll set the GDK_SCALE=1 and reboot and post an after screenshot. But you can basically see how HUGE the desktop icons are in the above screenshot

Same desktop, resolution image etc, and now you can see the size of the icons. So basically cairo-dock was being scaled off screen and couldn't be seen. So sorry for wasting your time with this, it's turns out the problem is with gnome-shell
