How to install Kiba-Dock on Kubuntu.

[Guest]

Simply add the following repositories to your /etc/apt/sources.list fill

sudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list for Kubuntu user


Fiesty

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


Then add the verification key by running the following in a terminal:
wget http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb/DD800CD9.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -

Then simply run an apt-get update and typical install with the following terminal commands:
# sudo apt-get update
# sudo apt-get install kiba-dock
# sudo apt-get install kiba-dock-dev
# sudo apt-get install kiba-plugins

1,2,3 Kiba-Dock is up and installed. Once install you can run Kiba-Dock by going to the Applications-Accessories menu, or you can run in a terminal “kiba-dock”, or you can add a boot session to run Kiba-Dock on boot.

Well I tried it again today and it installed.

Then:

dan@kubuntu:~$ kiba-dock
Error: Unable to open dir /home/dan/.kiba-dock/config_schemas
notifications: Error opening directory '/home/dan/.kiba-dock/config_schemas': No such file or directory

What am I missing here. Should I have downloaded a theme or something?

I managed to start it from the kmenu but the lower third of my screen is black with the dock at the bottom. I couldn't change it or close it. I had to restart X to get back.

suggestions?

I'd hazard a guess that something went wrong during compilation.

As for not having a config, if it's that big a deal, I'd just touch(1) it.

I got the same problem. I i read somewhere that Kiba-dock is supposed to be run with Beryl/Compiz so i started beryl it worked flawlessly but in my normal default account i get that black screen thingy...
