Problems Our F.A.Q - F.A.Q one question one answer
Composite A black background ? - ATI cards : try without OpenGL (cairo-dock -c) => Drivers aren't correct !
- Intel cards : some of them work with OpenGL (see the follow section) or try without OpenGL (cairo-dock -c) => Some drivers aren't correct !
- KDE4 : launch systemsettings and do that : Look & Feel --> Desktop --> Desktop Effects --> Enable Desktop Effects
- Gnome without Compiz (just with Metacity) : launch gconf-editor, and open apps / metacity / general and enable composing-manager.
- More details : Composite Manager
OpenGL
- Nvidia cards : Normally, it works well out of box with property drivers. But if you have this warning message : "cannot find -lGL", try this command in a terminal
cd /usr/lib/ && sudo ln -s libGL.so.1 libGL.so
- ATI cards : Sorry but already now (2009 May), ATI drivers are just crappy . But there are many reasons to hope and we may have a real driver one day . So wait and use Cairo-Dock without OpenGL. (cairo-dock -c)
(S)MPlayer If you have any problem with (S)MPlayer :- Try to put the video output to gl2 (in the settings of SMPlayer)
- Or use this command to launch (S)MPlayer:
export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1
smplayer &
Others apps based on Qt4 like VirtualBox It's the same problem that (S)MPlayer.- Create a file with the extention ".sh" (launch_virtualbox.sh for example)
- Add these two lines :
export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1
virtualbox
- Change the right execution (Right clic on the file / Properties / Permissions / Execution => or directly :
chmod +x launch_virtualbox.sh
- Use this file to execute this app.
Problem with installation / update ? If you have something like this:
trying to overwrite `/usr/share/cairo-dock/default-indicator.png', which is also in package cairo-dock-data
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/cairo-dock_2.0.0_all.deb: tentative de remplacement de « /usr/share/cairo-dock/icon-mouse.png », qui appartient aussi au paquet cairo-dock-data.
You have to do that :
sudo apt-get remove cairo-dock* --purge
sudo apt-get install cairo-dock
Problem to change/save your configuration ? It's maybe a permission problem:
chmod u+rwx -R ~/.config/cairo-dock/
Problem with a gauge ? If you have an output like this: xterm -e ' wget "http://themes.glx-dock.org/gauges/turbo-night-fuel/turbo-night-fuel.tar.gz" -O "/tmp/cairo-dock-net-file.AfLFEO" -t 2 -T 5'
Just change gauges in your enabled plugins by those beginning with a capital (eg. turbo-night-fuel => Turbo-night-fuel).
Problem with wifi applet ?
It's a problem of right acces to iwconfig command.
With root right (root = sudo for Ubuntu for example), do this commands in a terminal:
chmod u+x /sbin/iwconfig # or "chmod 755 /sbin/iwconfig" if it's doesn't work
ln -s /sbin/iwconfig /usr/bin/iwconfig |
