http://askubuntu.com – Okay, so I am missing my unity panel, top bar and cairo dock!? I tried logging in with different set-ups such as Gnome classic, Unity, Cairo-dock w/ Unity, etc. The only way I can log out is Alt+Ctrl L... And the only way I am writing this is when I first opened my session I had Gnome Do and typed in F for Firefox. I tried the terminal command unity --reset to no avail! What do I do now?! The only thing I can do is use my terminal command. (HowTos)

How To Use Glx-Dock/Cairo-Dock On Ubuntu 12.04

Glx-Dock/Cairo-Dock is an interactive dock (like the one you know from a Mac) that provides easy access to some of the files, folders, and applications on your computer, and more. You can use it with OpenGL (to use your graphics card) or without, and it is compatible with Compiz, but it can also run without a composite manager.

is there anybody knows how to displayed top panel in cairo-dock session? * if i choose cairo+gnome (no effect) .... the top panel is disappeared. * if i choose cairo+gnome (with effect) or cairo+unity ... both the top panel & unity launcher is showed. if i disactivate the unity via compiz, both are disappeared. please help me ..........

On a login screen there is: * Cairo-Dock (GNOME+Effect) * Cairo-Dock (GNOME+No Effect) * Cairo-Dock (with Unity Panel) Three option to choose. But no matter what I choose (exclude GNOME+No Effect) I still able to see the hidden Unity. Is it normal? How can I turn-off the Unity? Please guide me.

[ubuntu] Dock setup 1 year 17 weeks ago

I recently installed cairo dock, and I love it. However, I miss my universal dock. Is there anyway I can get the Universal dock and cairo dock without the pesky unity dock on the side? I would prefer to keep the interface that opens with the windows key, but that seems to rely on the unity dock, and is optional.

tl;dr I want the Universal dock and the cairo dock without the unity dock

okay guys with all the fuse about unity being this and that blah blah of which I find it cruel as unity is great. so at this point I decided to use Cairo dock as a DE just to give myself an alternative...

I've made custom Ubuntu with Ubuntu builder. I've installed gnome-shell and cairo-dock from chroot. I've removed Unity from chroot too.

I've edited /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, changed user-session = cairo-dock and then I built the custom ubuntu. I then ran it on virtual box. LiveCD successfully showed the Cairo dock but when I change to user-session = gnome-shell, desktop shows unity panel.
