Hola,

My docky is refusing to start! It's supposed to start when Mint 13 does, but about a week ago it stopped. When I try to launch it manually from the Menu, nothing happens. From Terminal, I have tried more than once to reinstall docky using these commands:

sudo apt-get purge docky
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get install docky

All of which execute successfully, but docky still does not start after reinstallation. When I try to execute from terminal, this is what I see:

~ $ docky

Can anyone help me get my docky back?

Bumping for another chance. Docky still persisting in not being a dock. Did I give enough info on this one?

Hi!

I searched a part of the message, "[DesktopItemService] Could not find remap file", and this was one of the results that popped up:

Hope that helps!
