I noticed that when I load cairo-dock / glx-dock it automatically connects to 88.191.250.171
I am not sure how to disable this feature. I went to system settings in the cairo-dock configuration and I see options to force ipv4, use a proxy, etc.. But I do not see any option to disable this feature. I love cairo-dock but did not welcome this address. I am currently using
cairo-dock -v
Under Arch Linux. Gnome 3 fallback. Has anyone came across this? It is probably a simple fix; but i cannot figure it out. |

It seems to be an arch Linux repository ... I'm sure it's not the dock that connects to it

matttbe :
So, is there a way to stop it? Do you know? Also, are you saying that it is a certain applet that is causing this? The applets that I am currently using are:
Clipboard History, Power Manager, shortcuts, Trash
Update: I just tried disabling them all and restarting. After that did not work I backed up my theme and loaded it. Neither one worked. Is there some other kind of way to stop this? Like a more advanced configuration file somewhere? So far the files I have looked at are
/usr/bin/cairo-dock-package-theme
/usr/bin/launch-cairo-dock-with-delay
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/cairo-dock.pc
/usr/share/applications/cairo-dock-cairo.desktop
/usr/share/applications/cairo-dock.desktop
/usr/share/cairo-dock/cairo-dock-simple.conf
/usr/share/cairo-dock/cairo-dock.conf
/usr/share/cairo-dock/themes/_default_/cairo-dock.conf
Some of these I knew I would not find anything useful. The others I simply looked for that ip address or a website name or anything to do with updates. I did not find anything of particular interest. I see a bunch of .h files. I do not know c. Is that where my answer is? |

the dock should connect to the server only if a third-party applet is active; so if you're sure you don't have one, then it's probably a minor bug.
but I don't think we should prevent the update of the applets. |

I tried disabling all applets and restarting and it still connects. Do you know where this configuration is? |

This is exactly what I am saying. A lot of people may want this feature. But, I do not. I prefer to update manually. But what you said got me thinking. So I checked the man page again and found the -S option. That works. I can just point it to a null address like 0 or whatever. Thanks for the help. Definitely think this would be a nice feature some day. Marking thread as solved. Either way cairo-dock in my opinion is still the best dock ever. Thanks again. |

héhé, nice trick, although you will have no themes then 
ok well, that could be an option somewhere (maybe in the Dbus plug-in) |

Right on. I look forward to a manual update option. It does not seem to effect the theme I am using though. I guess to grab new themes or updates I will just have to launch it regularly in the future. It is worth it for me though. |
