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

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”
