I read some places that you can just install Docky using apt by default but that doesn't work. Tried adding the repository, but it's one of those that won't update because it's unauthorized or something. Is there a repo that works with Ubuntu 19.04 for Docky?

You know, just you're usual can't update repo error.

The docky-core PPA doesn't have a disco release. Their most current is artful. Change your .list file in /etc/apt/sources.list, or in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, or look for another, more currently supported PPA.

Update #1:

In terminal...

cd /etc/apt # change directory

grep -i docky sources.list # search for docky

If it finds docky, then:

sudo pico sources.list # edit the file

Locate the line that contains docky

Change disco to artful

control+o, then return # to save the file

control+x # exit the editor

You're done.

If it didn't find docky, then:

cd sources.list.d # change directory

grep -i docky *.list # search again for docky

Note the filename when it finds docky

sudo pico found_filename.list # edit that filename

Change disco to artful

control+o, then return # to save the file

control+x # exit the editor

You're done.
