How Do I install kiba dock and conky/configure.

Hey guys, I'm new to archlinux, and I would like to know how to install Kiba-dock. I have no clue what to do. Also, I installed conky via, pacman -S conky, but how do I configure it and open it. Any help is greatly appreciated guys.

For conky check out the wiki pages here

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Conky

And for kiba, you might get the info you need from their wiki

Re: How Do I install kiba dock and conky/configure.

Thanks, I now have a nice custom conky config. But, I tried everything on that link for kiba dock and no luck. There is nothing posted on there, how to do it specifically for archlinux. If you know how to do it for another dock please help me, I dont mind which dock I use as long as I have one smile.

Re: How Do I install kiba dock and conky/configure.

It's not support by arch but you can search that application at AUR
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O … _Search=Go
here is the kibadock and the plugins,choose the one you want to install,click the "Tarball" button to download a tar.gz file,extract it and then:
1),cd /path you've extract to
2),makepkg(check out the dependencies,pkgconfig required as well),you'll get a package
3)),pacman -U package as root
I used to complain arch for it's lesser packages,but it ends after i found AUR.
Enjoy.:cool:

Re: How Do I install kiba dock and conky/configure.

Thanks for your help so far hunter wink. What  dependencies do I need? I just download akamaru-svn.tar.gz,  there are more but I cant download them... Would any happen to have any direct links?

You mean gnome-desktop and librsvg,i think.Just "pacman -S gnome-desktop librsvg",you don't need to make packages for them since they are already in the repos,:D.Install akamaru follow the 1)2)3) steps and then install kibadock in the same way.
You can download the sources and compile them as well:

Re: How Do I install kiba dock and conky/configure.

I didn't tell you makepkg as root,did i?It's not safe.Root permission is needed ONLY when you install that package,perhaps you've extracted the tar file to Desktop,so you need

cd ~/Desktop/akamaru-svn
makepkg

no "--asroot",and glib2 is required as Dependence(I think you should notice that)

su
pacman -U akamaru*.pkg.tar.gz
