Cairo Dock?

[awweeks]

The dock has put a bunch of ? buttons at the bottom of the screen in blue color on the bar.  How can i restore the same launcher bar that is with Emmabuntus 3?  I have tried everything a novice can do with it and i just am in love with the distro!  Thanks!

First open the file manager, and after close the dock. To close the dock make a right-click on the dock and select cairo-dock -> close.

On file manager display hidden file, with CTRL + H, and go on ~/.config/cairo-dock/current_theme, and rename the directory icons in icons_old for example.

After restart you computer or open a terminal windows with CTRL + T, and start the dock with this command line :

Code: [Sélectionner]

/usr/bin/start_cairo_dock.sh

This is the output from the terminal i am getting after running the command:

Same changed dock is at the bottom of the screen.  If anyone can assist more, thanks for your help!

Have you make this, before run cairo-dock command ?

First open the file manager, and after close the dock. To close the dock make a right-click on the dock and select cairo-dock -> close.

On file manager display hidden file, with CTRL + H, and go on ~/.config/cairo-dock/current_theme, and rename the directory icons in icons_old for example.

[awweeks]

no this was after what you ask me to do in the folder and reboot system, then ran this in the terminal.

Ok on your execution of script you are this :

unlink: cannot unlink ‘/home/porchmonkey/.config/cairo-dock’: Is a directory
ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘/home/porchmonkey/.config/cairo-dock/cairo-dock-en’: File exists

Try to this :

First open the file manager, and after close the dock. To close the dock make a right-click on the dock and select cairo-dock -> close.

On file manager display hidden file, with CTRL + H, and go on ~/.config, and rename the directory cairo-dock in cairo-dock_old for example.

After restart you computer or open a terminal windows with CTRL + T, and start the dock with this command line : /usr/bin/start_cairo_dock.sh

I get this same terminal reading, even when i reboot, close the dock and then run the  command in the terminal.  It does bring a cairo dock back but i am looking for the dock that came with the initialization of when i installed Emmabuntus 3 64 bit.   Terminal results are listed here:

Can you send me  the result of this command : ls -als ~/.config

[awweeks]

Anyone have any further ideas?  I don't want to reinstall this distro because it is dual booted with Windows Vista.  Thanks!

[awweeks]

This is a problem that i have seen others around the web asking answers for!  It would be a good solve where users don't have to re install their distro.  Thanks!
