cairo-dock not working after latest updates

Cairo Dock is broken after latest updates. It does not show the dock when started and also shows up some weird looking small square on the screen instead.

I am getting following messages in terminal if I start from terminal.

warning :  (/build/cairo-dock/src/cairo-dock-core-3.4.1/src/implementations/cairo-dock-egl.c:gldi_register_egl_backend:232) 
  Cairo-Dock was not built with EGL support

(cairo-dock:18443): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget 'GtkWindow': invalid value (typically too big) for the size of the input (surface, pattern, etc.)

I suspect it is the gtk3 upgrade that may have broken this.

I tried cairo-dock-git from AUR and also tried to do manually build from source but I get same error.

I was trying install gtk3 version 3.22.1 parallely in a custom location (using --prefix=/opt/custom/gtk3-3.22.1/) but I am doing this for the first time so weary of installing the generated package as it has generated a few files out of the prefix I provided.

Anyone else facing same issues with cairo-dock? Could it be gtk3 update or is it just me?

More information:

❯ pacman -Q cairo-dock
cairo-dock 3.4.1-2

❯ pacman -Q gtk3     
gtk3 3.22.2+4+gc54f348-1

Re: cairo-dock not working after latest updates

Just logged in to XFCE and it cairo-dock worked fine there. Wonder why it does not work with GNOME Shell. Same set of warnings are outputted if started from terminal.

Re: cairo-dock not working after latest updates

I figured that the problem was due to Wayland. I switched to GNOME on X and it works fine now.

Re: cairo-dock not working after latest updates

Same for me. Running KDE/Plasma. Had to downgrade to 3.5.0. I always run on X, so Wayland is not the issue. It's critical to my system, and had to downgrade immediately, so didn't get the "tried to run from the command line" results, but no EGL would be an issue. Also, I noted that the cairo-dock plugins were not upgraded. They are still on 3.5.0 - not sure if that makes any difference, but thought I'd point that out.

Re: cairo-dock not working after latest updates

Seems the plugins may have made the difference. Once cairo-dock-plug-ins-3.5.1 became available, installing both packages at the same time, log out then back in, and everything's good. Installing either 3.5.1 package on its own breaks the dock. Might have been nice if cairo-dock-plug-ins-3.5.1 was pushed at the same time as cairo-dock-3.5.1, since it's apparent that the latter is dependent on the former - instead, they were released 5 days apart.

Glad it is solved, but watch the age of the threads.  This thread is nine years old.  Closing this old thread.
