CD Not Appearing, Graphical errors in maintenance and Safe modes

Asked by Anthony

Hi. CD has lines that do not appear when in Maintenance and Safety Mode--the Files, Internet, Desktop and other categories are not populated. When in the Maintenance and Safety mode, I can cause the program to lock by clicking on a sub-directory in Behavior or Appearance categories (those two categories appear). My OS is 22.04 Ubuntu Mate and I have an Nvidia Geforce GTX 1650 4GB VRAM. I have tried to install from PPA and have done "sudo apt-get upgrade" to upgrade packages (this line in the terminal fixed a problem before) and I have tried to install from Synaptic as well as the terminal; CD did work on this computer before, but I'm not sure why it no longer works. A poster stated that some people did have issues using CD on 22.04 machines--could this be the reason? 24.04 will be released soon and I will probably migrate if this change fixes things, even though OS upgrades are equivalent to simultaneous major organ transplants in humans. Are there things I can try?

I wish there was un Upload button for a screenshot, but this is the only way I know to show the terminal output:

It seems like you're encountering some warnings and errors when running Cairo-Dock. The messages suggest issues related to EGL support, maintenance mode, and invalid image sizes. Here are some points to consider:

1. **EGL Support Warning:** Cairo-Dock was not built with EGL support. If EGL support is necessary or desired, you might need to rebuild Cairo-Dock with the appropriate EGL libraries and dependencies.

2. **Maintenance Mode:** Cairo-Dock is entering and exiting maintenance mode during the execution. This might be normal behavior or indicative of a specific condition. You may want to check the documentation or forums for Cairo-Dock to understand the implications of maintenance mode in your context.

3. **Invalid Image Sizes:** There are warnings about images having invalid sizes, and as a result, they will not be loaded. This could be a problem with specific image files or a broader issue with the image loading process. Check the images being used, their file formats, and sizes.

4. **Assertions Failed:** Assertions failing may indicate issues with the input parameters or the application's internal state. In particular, the assertions related to `pKeyFile` and `filename` suggest that certain file-related parameters are not as expected.

Here are some steps you can take:

- Review the Cairo-Dock documentation for information on EGL support and maintenance mode.
- Check the images being used and ensure they are in valid formats and sizes.
- Consider reaching out to the Cairo-Dock community or support channels for assistance with the specific warnings and errors you are encountering.
- If EGL support is crucial for your use case, investigate the steps to rebuild Cairo-Dock with EGL support enabled.

Remember to include relevant details like your operating system version, Cairo-Dock version, and any recent changes you've made to your system when seeking assistance. for more visit https://www.araxsystemsllc.com/product/holosun-he509-rd-enclosed-solar-powered-red-dot-sight-w-507c-mounting-plate-acss-vulcan-reticle-he509-rd-acss-r/

Thanks for the great answer. In the Cairo Dock forum, the last post was in 2016, and in GitHub, the software was last released in 2015. I was wondering if I should just give up on software that was last released in 2015? I am not sure how to contact people who would know how to solve the multiple problems you listed--I mean with the CD Forum not posted to since 2016. My OS is Ubuntu Mate 22.04. The last time CD worked, but then I changed the theme, and from then on it didn't display; I'm pretty sure about that.
