BUG: Position of Plank dock

[Arranmc182]

Rhino Linux Version:
2023.2

Describe the bug:
Position of Plank dock not persistent.

behavior:
you change the settings as normal and the dock will move just as expected but if you shutdown or restart the system on next boot the dock will end up back in the left hand default position, also using dconf Editor same thing happens it moves as expected but next boot its back to its default.

@oklopfer I thought this was fixed recently unless I'm mistaken?

Can confirm this has been solved: To modify your plank config, edit: /usr/share/plank/docks.ini with the changes you want

so its not fully fixed as the GUI options are still broken and the ini file fix is only good if your a bit more of an advanced user, also this is the first mention iv found about doing it via the ini file so thanks for the heads up

We did mention it on our discord. I plan to document a list of guides on our Wiki at some point.

Unfortunately Plank has been left unmaintained for a while and so while the end goal of Unicorn is to utilise our own components, or fork others, this will take a while.

The issue here is with Plank dock and not Rhino Linux unfortunately.

Ah man that sucks I but understand, so basically Plank either needs to be forked or a replacement is needed so could we not use Cairo-Dock and Docky by default?

This bug is enough reason to deter me from using the otherwise great unicorn desktop

[oklopfer]

@nicahokie To modify your plank config, edit: ~/.config/docks.ini with the changes you want, then log out and log back in.

apologies, these are the updated instructions.
