Cairo-Dock - Desktop dock for openSUSE Linux | SUSE & openSUSE

malcolmlewis · August 30, 2008, 5:42am

Hi
I installed it from the packman repository and never saw that output.
And it works fine…

What is the output from;


rpm -qa |grep cairo

Hi
So it’s working now? If not I would make sure it’s not running and move
the .cairo-dock directory and files, then try again.


mv .cairo-dock backup.caro-dock
cairo-dock &

If it’s all ok, you could then delete the backup directory.

Do I have to use compiz to run Cairo-Dock or will it work with Kwin builtin compositing? I get the black boxes around the dock right now and 3d is enabled and Kwin effects.

Psquared · October 7, 2008, 5:38am

Any ideas why I have black boxes around cairo-dock even though I have Kwin effects (opengl & compositing) enabled?

Thanks

malcolmlewis · October 7, 2008, 6:23am

Hi
I use it with Gnome and don’t see that effect. I’m guessing it may be
an xorg setting that needs to be added/removed. Maybe the xgl settings
need a tweak in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager
(see /usr/share/doc/packages/xgl/README.SUSE)?

Maybe a browse through here may also help?

Hi,

PackMan is nice but is it available for Factory somewhere please?

malcolmlewis · October 7, 2008, 3:31pm

Hi
Don’t think so, either packman or build from source files…

LOL, no thanks I don’t want to build all of ffmpeg and various other stuff from source every time there’s a new version.

Fedora’s equivalent to Factory is Rawhide, and to PackMan it’s Livna, but Livna does offer a Rawhide branch.

Similarly Debian unstable includes patented software like MP3.

This leaves SUSE the only major distro without any managed way to get the cutting-edge codecs?

grfgguvf · October 7, 2008, 5:39pm

Okay I posted a new thread about the PackMan Factory inquiry.

Psquared · October 8, 2008, 1:24am

Thanks for the link. I’ll have a look. If you are using Cairo-Dock in Gnome then you must be using Compiz-Fusion as your window manager. I could install that as well, but it is memory hungry and I don’t have that much to spare so I was trying to run it with Kwin compositing enabled (not compiz) which I know can be done.

I don’t use XGL. I use AIGLX with my video subsystem. XGL can cause (I’ve heard) real headaches for laptop owners running Intel video drivers.

Psquared · October 8, 2008, 1:41am

Thanks, but no help from that link. What I have read is that you get the black box effect if compositing is not running. But I have also read that Kwin’s builtin compositing is enough to run Cairo-dock perfectly. I.E., I don’t need Compiz-Fusion.

I’ll check my xorg.conf file just in case, but I don’t know what I am looking for. I know the last section enables compositing because I can do the cube and other effects.

I may also try logging in as a testuser to see if it will run. Then I’ll know its a configuration problem.

could install that as well, but it is memory hungry and I don’t have
that much to spare so I was trying to run it with Kwin compositing
enabled (not compiz) which I know can be done.

I don’t use XGL. I use AIGLX with my video subsystem. XGL can cause
(I’ve heard) real headaches for laptop owners running Intel video
drivers.

Hi
Yes, compiz-fusion. Well this laptop (Toshiba Tecra M3 1.73Ghz) has 1GB
of ram, compiz,X and cario-dock consume very little resources here.
System spends it’s time running the cpu at half speed. Only when
compiling or running flash does it jump
