I need help installing cairo dock, I have followed the installation guide on the website but can’t seem to get it to work, I get an error saying I need libpangox, but can’t find that library on the repos. Any help would be great. I don’t really know what I’m doing with this so sorry if I’m a bit stupid. I’m on opensuse tumbleweed btw.
Here is the error message when I run “cairo-dock”: cairo-dock: error while loading shared libraries: libpangox-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The problem is that cairo-dock is unmaintained and dead since 8 years (last release is from 2015). That means it is incompatible with modern and actual operating systems and depends on no longer available libraries like libpangox-1.0.so.0
So trying to install it on openSUSE is pointless.
cairo-dock was never distributed within openSUSE. Packman had it once but removed it years ago. A simple google-search shows some alternatives for openSUSE:
I use Latte … and have for a long time (as with TW ) … native for KDE Plasma, dependable, pleasing, easy to use, lots of configuration options (maybe too many ).
On the cairo-dock website it shows a method that seems to work, at least I installed it successfully, just can’t run.
I’ll try these out though thanks.
