Hi All
I am a fairly experienced Linux user and have had Ubuntu Mate since 18.04 but this is my first post so please bear that in mind
I've been looking to upgrade to 22.04 but when I tested the upgrade (from 18.04 to 22.04) on a VM I experienced issues with cairo-dock.
I've used cairo-dock on Ubuntu since 18.04 and it's worked a treat, however it's failing now with the upgrade to 22.04.1: instead of opening the program when clicking the icon it thinks you want to move it.
Every icon every time.
It was working fine before the upgrade.
Even a brand new 22.04 install doesn't help.
Has anyone else had this and or offer any advice?
I used to use Cairo-Dock but found it required too much tinkering, to load or keep it loaded. Switched to plank with no issues, but it doesn't do as much as Cairo-Dock. Just a thought. Just choose "use dock" in the MATE Tweak panel setting
The Plank dock already comes pre-installed in MATE and has always been a better option I think, and Martin Wimpress the MATE developer chose it. You can bring it up manually or use the Pantheon theme or the Mac-like theme and it shows up on the center bottom with either a task bar or global menu on top. That’s one of the nice things about MATE; switching the look and theme is easy.
Thanks for the replies.
I have tried Plank but it doesn't allow for pinning documents so easily - in cairo-dock it's a few clicks but in Plank I have to create a desktop file manually, which is time consuming and fiddly, hence why I prefer to get cairo-dock working, if possible.
