After installing Ubuntu 14.04 on my computer, now I want to show you how to install Docky on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr. Docky is a set of application launcher which looks like Mac OS X.
A. Add Docky PPA repository to Ubuntu 14.04
Open Terminal and edit sources.list file.
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Paste these lines to the bottom of the sources.list file
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/docky-core/ppa/ubuntu trusty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/docky-core/ppa/ubuntu trusty main
B. Update Ubuntu
sudo apt-get update
C. Install Docky
sudo apt-get install docky
Once finished, you can start docky using command:
docky
Configure Docky to start when every time you log in. You may need to log out and log in back to see Docky displayed on the bottom of your screen.
After sudo apt-get update, I get an error message saying
W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net trusty Release: The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 608BF7B93528AE20
Also, when I run, sudo apt-get install docky, it prompts,
WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
