The other thing is GUAKE terminal emulator…it is so cool!

$sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/docky $sudo apt update $sudo apt install plank |
If you face problems with shut down or logging out of Ubuntu after installing plank, you should delay the starting time of plank when you are setting it up in the startup. To do so, instead of calling plank executable directly, use the command below:

sh -c 'sleep 10 && plank' |
