Lightbulb [FAQ] Installing Kiba-Dock



Kiba-Dock YouTube Video

Kiba-dock Introduction

As its name rather well suggests it, Kiba is a dock. That means it is a cool panel with icons to lauch programs and do other stuffs. In fact, it could very well be a replacement for the GNOME/KDE/XFCE panel, except that it's much cooler !

The most famous dock might be the Universal Dock introduced by Apple in Mac OS X, but Kiba is without any doubt the funniest, thanks to its amazing physics engine : Akamaru.

Installing Kiba-dock in Ubuntu

Treviño manages a repo with kiba-dock, These can be accessed by adding the following to your sources.list file: Note: Currently, there are only 32 bit (x86) deb packages available, 64 bit users can use SVN.

1. Open a Terminal Window.
2. Type the following:

# sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

1. If you are using Edgy (6.10) version: Add the following lines to the end of the file:

deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb edgy beryl-svn
deb-src http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb edgy beryl-svn

1. If you are using Feisty (7.04) version: Add the following lines to the end of the file:

deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb feisty eyecandy
deb-src http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb feisty eyecandy

1. Save and Exit Gedit.
2. Run from the same terminal window:

# wget http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb/DD800CD9.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
# sudo apt-get update
# sudo apt-get install kiba-dock
# sudo apt-get install kiba-dock-dev
# sudo apt-get install kiba-plugins

PLEASE NOTE: this is a daily svn repo, which means you're dealing with snapshots of the latest and greatest, but not always the most stable!

i don't think ubuntu is just for new people. it's all linux, if you work with it, you can basically transform it to anything.
