Dock using OpenGL - Ubuntu 10.04

[handheldgamer144]

Can anyone tell me where to get the latest Ubuntu source code? I've heard it was programmed in Python or something like that. Is that true?

[r0ckstarferlife]

Could you please give me a link for that wallpaper ??

Try awn with auto hide, it looks better and has more plugins.

By the way, the author of the video didn't use openGL when he recorded the video.. that's the reason why he has so few effects and why he has the black box at 2:35 (and everywhere).

If your graphicscard supports openGL (and you have driver installed), then you can run the cairo-dock with "cairo-dock -o"

cool wallpaper!

[shtef1090]

What program do you use to record ?

[UbuntuHelpGuy]

@shtef1090 gtk-recordmydesktop

[hbkfan22]

@lemler33 i had problems too. i had to hard wire-in then install hardware updates. then it would connect but will Not connect to my wireless using a WEP key 128-bit so i am now using a WPA & WPA2 Personal and is working fine.

[MegalomaniaZ]

@UbuntuHelpGuy Jeg har også lige installeret 10.04, hold kaje det er godt mand! Det fungerer bare!

[UbuntuHelpGuy]

@MegalomaniaZ Det gør det! :D

you have to turn on compiz to avoid the black crap, seriously turn it on just for the video at least

[fatkasuvayu]

I have never been able to configure cairo dock with a transparent background. it always ends up with a black box, as it happened at 2:35 in your video. do u know any fix for that?

[carcrash714]

@fatkasuvayu

you have to turn on compositing 1. Hit alt-f2  2. Type metacity -c 3. Hit return

[fatkasuvayu]

@carcrash714 thanks carcrash714! I use XFCE, so instead I did "xfwm4 --compositor=on" and it works like a charm ;)

[rohail47ubuntu]

hey steffen did you got all the cairo dock themes with the installation package or after the update ?

[UbuntuHelpGuy]

@rohail47ubuntu When you install Cairo dock, youll get it :D

[sneekylinux]

nice

[M4XC4V413R4]

I always used Docky, do you recommend this one over it? Is it better in any way? I currently don't have Linux installed here since i needed windows for Visual Studio but once 10.04 comes out next week i'll install it again.

[M4XC4V413R4]

@M4XC4V413R4 couldn't wait :D installed the RC on a virtualbox and installed that dock, it's way better than Docky, like WAAAYYYYY better :)

[UbuntuHelpGuy]

@M4XC4V413R4 Haha. Yay!

[frvfilms]

docks = mac copy ,

mac+windows= linux

[UbuntuHelpGuy]

@frvfilms Hahah omg?

[EnavSounds]

@frvfilms no te haz dado cuenta que nosotros (GNU) podemos ser lo que queramos por que somos libres.... libres de parecernos y crecer como mejor lo deseemos

[EnavSounds]

@frvfilms do you not realize that we (GNU) can be whatever we want because we are free .... free your mind and grow as best as we wish

[HeyIamAJ]

Great and helpful vid. Does Cairo always have the annoying black box around it??

I've noticed some programs like this have these little compatibility problems and leave odd graphics around bounding areas, or is it a 10.04 glitch?

[UbuntuHelpGuy]

@HeyIamAJ its a 10.04 glitch. Its only doing it, when I've turned off the graphics.. With the graphics on, theres no black box

[HeyIamAJ]

@UbuntuHelpGuy Thanks for the reply!

Hope it gets fixed soon, I liked the effects a lot, would be a big feature lost for me with them off.

[nvanadium]

@HeyIamAJ Dude I have have the same prob. Bad news is it'is most likely your graphics card. Meaning that unless you have another driver to use or purchase another graphics card you are out of luck. I share your pain, I am dock-less : /

[TheMichaelBender]

great video ... and i have that same...wallpaper.

[chewit10]

Why is the wallpaper from?

[UbuntuHelpGuy]

@chewit10 I searched on google and found it on a site. Don't remember where it was

[rohail47ubuntu]

ubuntu 10.04 wallpaper by { pr09studio } :)
