How to install Cairo Dock in Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick)
About Cairo Dock
It uses Cairo / OpenGL to render graphics (many in correlation with Compiz) with full hardware acceleration. It's fully configurable and fully customisable and can be used as a taskbar too. You can easily add applets in the dock or as a desklet. It is recommended to install the PLUG-INS package (cairo-dock-plug-ins) to have acces to more views, dialogs and many plug-ins and applets. Some screenshots are available : http://pics.glx-dock.org This package is the core of Cairo-Dock project.
Open a terminal window and add the following line and copy paste the following line.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cairo-dock-team/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cairo-dock
That’s it Cairo dock is installed. You can start it by going to Applications > Accessories > GLX-Dock (Cairo-Dock withOpenGPL).
But Cairo is not installed to run at startup. You can do so, by going to System > Preferences > Startup Applications. And adding the following.
After opening Startup Applications Preferences window just press Add button
now you will see a new box called Add Startup Program
In that you will see Name in that you have to type “GLX-Dock(Cairo-Dock with OpenGL”
In Command you have to type “ cairo-dock -o”
and in Comment you have to type “Cairo-Dock with OpenGl (hardware)”
and enjoy now

Hi,
I dont know if this is the right place to ask this question but here it goes,
I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed on my machine.
It comes with Evolution 2.30.03.
I have also installed evolution-mapi from the repository with the following command
sudo apt-get install evolution-mapi
Now I can send receive mails I also get the address book but Calendar does not work for me. When I get a meeting invite email and I click to open, Evolution crashes. No matter how many ever times I try, the end result is the same.
Our Exchange Server is 2010. Recently upgraded from 2007. When on 2007 everything worked just fine no issues.
Is there a solution for this.
An accidental discovery, I can open the meeting invite email from a browser and accept the meeting, after I do so it gets synced with Evolution.
Any help will be much appreciated.
With Regards,
Prostil
Hi
I have installed Cairo and it was working fine until recently. I could not configure Cairo now as I could not see the option to configure (Cairo-dock>configure). I am not sure what caused this problem. Could you pls suggest solution for this.
Thanks
Hey,
Right as of now there is no stable release for Ubuntu 10.10 (aka maverick) Check this link out for more information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CairoDock
Hope this helps.
why cairo-dock won’t launch konsole and go to shell scripts (like python or sh)?
but from Kmenu we can launch itu with code:
sh -c “cd /home/project/school/ && ./test1.py –help;sudo -s”
