I have a similar issue (on an MSI S271 laptop) as explained in the duplicate
when I launch the command "cairo-dock -O" (-O for use indirect rendering) i can't see no applets and when I take out an applet of the dock it crashes with the message : Cairo-Dock has crashed (sig 8). It will be restarted now (cairo-dock -O -m -m). Couldn't guess if it was an applet's fault or not. It may have crashed inside the core or inside a thread Sorry, Cairo-Dock has encoutered some problems, and will quit. whith the command "cairo-dock -o" (openGL) the problem is the same ProblemType: Bug Video Card: ATI Radeon Xpress 200M DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: cairo-dock-core 2.1.3-10-lucid-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-22.33-generic 2.6.32.11+drm33.2 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-22-generic i686 Architecture: i386 Date: Fri May 7 17:38:52 2010 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Release i386 (20091028.5) ProcEnviron: LANG=fr_FR.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: cairo-dock -- Launch command "cairo-dock -O" : ubuntu's session crashes and restarts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573196 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
