UPDATE:In Ubuntu 9.04 you can get this dock via Synaptic.
*First open terminal located in Applications>accessories>terminal
Next type the following:
wget -q http://repository.cairo-dock.org/ubuntu/cairo-dock.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
Next edit your sources list by typing:
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
When the file opens scroll to the very bottom and add this line:
deb http://repository.cairo-dock.org/ubuntu hardy cairo-dock
save the file and close it.
Next type in:
sudo apt-get updatethen
sudo apt-get install cairo-dock cairo-dock-plug-ins
the dock should now download and install and is located under Applications>system
Hope this helps thanks for reading. If you have questions or need help please leave a comment.

This did help! Keep the tutorials coming.!
THANKS! Looks amazing and simple instructions.
Its my first time using ubuntu linux
and its hard to use terminal,my question is every time i do the first step to get the cairo dock it asks me for a sudo key and every time i try to write something it wont let me write anything. hope you can HELP me
thanks
Sudo is a program that lets a normal user account act as administrator. You will need to use sudo a lot in ubuntu or any linux version. Just simply type sudo before you enter something then enter your user account password.
Well I just installed Cairo Dock from the Synaptic Package Manager. Its running great. I never went into terminal this time! :)
i did everything and on the last thing i had to enter it said couldnt find package cairo-dock-plug-ins
ok this time it didnt say that and installed it but no i cant find where it is to open it. i checked system,it wasnt there
I installed it but i don't have applications > system? did I do something wrong?
when i get to the last step it says it couldn't find package cairo-dock-plug-ins...also, "some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead." WTF?
I tired to to apt-get install and I got an error message saying E: can't find package cairo-dock
What to do? I'm a noob
Thanks for the tutorial, pal. Your tutorial is awesome.
Just one tip:
When running graphical applications with root privileges use gksudo instead of sudo. For example:
"sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" would now be:
"sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"
You keep sudo for command-line programs.
How do you bring back the pannel after having removed it ?
doesnt works with ubuntu 9.04
This tutorial is outdated I will make a new one soon.
I tried to do this, but I failed. I did everything correctly, followed the instructions, but when I looked under system it wasn't there. Could it be that I am on Ubuntu 10.4?
If you could give me some advice, that would be great!
