An Ubuntu 12.10 repo is now available for our 1.4 release. As usual, follow these instructions to install.
If you’re upgrading from an older release, please make sure that you remove the old repos and add the new repos. Otherwise, you will encounter problems.
Thanks, people!
Thank you from my side too. It worked great for me. The packages were installed like magic.
Thanks,i’ll use it tonight.
Mate Desktop is the best fork of gnome 2.32, I love it!. Please make improvements and make it the best desktop enviroment for linux/unix!. You are doing a great job!.
First time user of MATE but Ubuntu user since 2004 and stuck on U-10.04 due to unity rubbish. Upgraded a test machine to Ubuntu 12.10 to see if MATE satisfies. All good except there appears to be no Mate-related menus items in Applications > System Tools > Confuguration Editor. So; there seems to be no means to configure nautilus (or caja) or widows buttons etc.
Oops – found it – after 2 hours searching (in a MINT forum):
sudo apt-get install mate-conf-editor
that does it.
Thanks for your work.
On my Ubuntu 12.10 mate appmenu-indicatro-applet won’t work. Pleas Help
I’ll tell you how to solve this issue(It’s an interesting alternative..it will make your indicator applet look like the old gnome 2.3x desktop)
1)Make sure that mate-indicator-applet is installed.Open the terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install mate-indicator-applet
2)Install all the applet you may need.In the terminal:
sudo apt-get install indicator-appmenu-gtk2 indicator-application-gtk2 indicator-sound-gtk2
If you want event the indicator-messages, then you will to download the package(s) indicator-messages (from here:http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/indicator-messages) and indicator-messages-gtk2 (from here:http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/indicator-messages-gtk2).Install them*(*=The system will tell you that a newer version is already installed(indicator-messages), ignore it and go on.Having an older version will not harm your system)
3)Logout and login again.Right click on the panel and select ”Add tot he panel”.Search for ”Indicator Applet”.Once selected, click on add.
Tip:I suggest you to install even gnome-control-center(I suggest you these because originaly the indicator-sound relies on it to have an advanced sound configuration tool.
I hope this will help you
Repos of Ubuntu 12.10 don’t have this packages:
indicator-appmenu-gtk2 indicator-application-gtk2 indicator-sound-gtk2
A also every Clipboard manger i add to startup programs( I try Glipper and Diodon) don’t wont launch on start
Thank you for your efforts and keep up the good work…
Hi,
I was unable to use the repo today. Is it up or down?
Want to install MATE on my Xubuntu 12.10
Hi, I want to test-drive this on a live CD of Ubuntu 12.10, but it fails. Is this possible at all, or am I trying something stupid?
Would it be possible to mirror your Ubuntu repository into a Launchpad PPA? Or move it to Launchpad?
Using a Launchpad PPA has a major advantage: people can build packages for MATE desktop. Right now, that’s not possible because if an application depends on a MATE-specific package, it can’t be built in a PPA so MATE users are missing all the cool stuff that could be built in Launchpad PPAs.
People can build packages for MATE desktop with the current repository too: Launchpad PPA is only one of the many tools to build .debs. If someone like to build a third party package for MATE, he can speak with us to include it in our repository and/or build it with our build daemon.
