I cant get more than one workspace.

[Arcus]

When installed cairo dock, i cant do something like:
 - Get more than one workspace.
 - Alt + tab keys doesnt work.

[Matthieu Baerts (matttbe)]

Hello and thank you for this bug report!

Is it possible to get a few more details?
Do you have this bug with the Cairo-Dock session? Which Window Manager are you using? Compiz? If yes, did you (install and) enable Compiz's DBus plugin?
Which version of the dock are you using? Do you have this bug with the latest stable version (3.4.0)?

[Fabounet (fabounet03)]

@Matttbe: what if the Compiz's DBus plugin is not installed ?
Our script should still be able to activate a switcher plugin in Compiz (to
have alt+tab and workspaces), no ?

It *should* be installed but it's not easy to "force" its installation. We recommend it only if XFCE, LXDE, KDE, etc. is not installed:

    Package: cairo-dock-core
    (...)
    Recommends: cairo-dock,
            cairo-dock-plug-ins,
            compiz-plugins | e17 | kde-window-manager | openbox | xfwm4 | mutter | marco | muffin,
            gnome-session | e17 | kde-workspace | openbox | lxsession-logout | xfce4-session | mate-desktop | cinnamon-session

Yes, it should but this is why I changed the status of this bug report to incomplete :-)

[Fabounet (fabounet03)]

ok, thanks for the details :-)
in any case, for the users that have the problem, a workaround is to
install "ccsm" and enable a switcher plug-in (and maybe also enable
workspaces somewhere or set the number of desired workspaces).

Yes, you can do that from the General Option / Desktop size.
Note that you can also use the Unity Tweak Tool.

PS: and don't forget to enable Compiz's DBus plugin to allow more interactions between Compiz and the dock!

Ps: @Fabounet: happy birthday ;-)

Hi,

I use a cairo dock session with ubuntu 14.04, and cairo dock version 3.4

I think that i use gnome session or compiz, i dont sure about it.

Unity is installed too...

I try with unity tweak tool and gnome tweak tool and the tool from ompiz, and nothing work

But what did you try to do exactly?

Can you also check if compiz-plugins is installed by launching this command from a terminal?

    $ sudo apt-get install compiz-plugins -y

[Arcus (estuaco)]

Thank y Matthieu, work with compiz-plugins, no dbus activated.

[Fabounet (fabounet03)]

However it's better with dbus activated in Compiz, as it allows the dock to
talk with Compiz (useful to trigger some actions) ;-)
