Cairo Dock

[czgirb]

Today I give it a try once again ... and my system FREEZE again. Why?

Based on what I see, Cairo always minimized the opened application as a BRIGHT POINT and placed below the icon. How can I set the minimization was placed on DOCK ... as MacOS.

How did you install Cairo Dock? Did you run the update for the program? Also, can you give specs for the PC you installed it upon?

How did you install Cairo Dock?

As I remembered the guidance is in http://glx-dock.org/ww_page.php?p=ppa%20Weekly&lang=en and it said:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cairo-dock-team/weekly
sudo apt-get update >/dev/null
sudo apt-get install cairo-dock cairo-dock-plug-ins

Did you run the update for the program?

Would you mind to show me how to run it?

Also, can you give specs for the PC you installed it upon?

Lappie Compaq CQ40-328TU

I use 12.04 and run the dock in Ubuntu Classic Desktop Environment
Is it a problem?

Wait for your reply

I would recommend purging cairo dock and then reinstalling from the Ubuntu Software Center. I have played around with cairo dock quite a bit, installing, removing, re-installing, removing, re-re-installing....It has worked pretty flawless downloading from the Software Center.

I would start by purging the program....

sudo apt-get purge cairo-dock

After it has been removed from the system then go to your Ubuntu Software Center and search for Cairo Dock. Once you have found the program you will click install. Once the program has been installed then you can run

sudo apt-get update cairo-dock

SORRY ... SORRY
Just remembered ... I install it from here http://glx-dock.org/ww_page.php?p=Fr...sitory&lang=en it said:

sudo -v
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cairo-dock-team/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cairo-dock cairo-dock-plug-ins

as I used Pangolin, I add the following command:

deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/glxdock/repository/ubuntu precise cairo-dock

and do an update with the following command:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cairo-dock

sudo -v 
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cairo-dock-team/ppa 
sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install cairo-dock cairo-dock-plug-ins

This much looks fine. Cairo-dock is already in the main repositories, so adding this PPA wasn't necessary, but it probably gave you a newer version of CD. However, it is not a good idea to add that PPA and then proceed to add the source

deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/glxdock/repository/ubuntu precise cairo-dock

to your sources.list file. CD's website (as you linked) recommends these as two alternative methods for installation. You shouldn't do both.

installed it from USC and update it:

czgirb@czgirb:~$ sudo apt-get update cairo-dock
E: The update command takes no arguments

Any opinion?

[newb85]

Yeah, that command should be

sudo apt-get install cairo-dock

[czgirb]

Yeah, that command should be

sudo apt-get install cairo-dock

The Cairo was installed through USC, right?
Why I should:

sudo apt-get install cairo-dock

again?

That will ensure CD is at the latest version available from the sources you have enabled.
