  17. You might want to update the install instructions for Fedora. Simply modifying the number from 16 to 17 does not work.

  20. The standard Debian settings don’t allow a sudo command. So either you have to install the package “sudo” and to add the needed users to the sudo-group e.g. with the tool “users-admin”. Or you have to use the command “su” before you enter all the given lines (without “sudo”) and “exit” in the end.

  22. Very good. I have two comments regarding the debian repo:

    1.) I can’t find the mdm (display manager). That one would be very nice
    2.) As mate-desktop debends on libmatenotify, it would be usefull if it also depended on mate-notification-daemon

  23. Trying to install on top of Ubuntu Precise 12.04. I follow the directions above, but get, on the second “sudo apt-get update,” this set of errors:

    Err http://packages.mate-desktop.org precise/main amd64 Packages
    Unable to connect to packages.mate-desktop.org:http:
    Err http://packages.mate-desktop.org precise/main i386 Packages

    Unable to connect to packages.mate-desktop.org:http:
    Err http://packages.mate-desktop.org precise/main Translation-en
    Unable to connect to packages.mate-desktop.org:http:

    The http://packages.mate-desktop.org website seems to be accessible, so I don’t think this is an access issue.

  24. Peter, on 12.04 I attempted the add-apt-repository with the same results as you, than I tried manually adding to /etc/apt/sources.list and all is good now.

    • Hi folks: I cleaned my apt cache and then put the mate repository into sources.list by hand, erasing two lines that had been automatically installed–one for the mate repository and one for the mate repository sources. I also added a carriage return after the repository line (which wasn’t in the sources.list). I was able to install MATE just fine.

      Only problem: I’m using a large external monitor with the HP laptop on which I now have MATE installed. In MATE, the default is mirrored monitors, which means the external monitor has low resolution (everything looks odd). When I try to shut down the laptop’s monitor & increase the resolution on the external monitor, nothing happens. Ubuntu is fine w/ the monitors. Seems like MATE doesn’t have the right drivers for me yet. I’ll just wait & see.

  34. I installed mate 1.4 on ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I got the mojo back :-) ….Since the introduction of unity on Ubuntu I stopped using linux and also stopped wasting time on linux. Once I heard mate 1.4 is available I installed mate 1.4 and it is really cool…

  38. I was very satisfied with what I saw when I installed Mate on Debian Wheezy.

    Everyone, please e-mail the various distribution providers and ask them to include Mate packages and Mate versions of their OS distributions. I bet that more people will want Mate rather than migrating to gnome 3! Linus, have you seen Mate yet? Get your old desktop back, yeah!

    I understand that ghostbsd (currently installs gnome 2 and lxde desktops for freebsd) will have a Mate version soon, offering YET MORE CHOICE which is what I bet we all want.

    I also put a link for Mate at the end of my ‘fixing gnome 3 to make it usable’ page. Thanks again for doing what I probably would have had to do myself (fork the gnome 2 panel to get my desktop back). I especially like the ability to horizontally position the panel icons wherever I want them, crammed together so I can fit more on it.

  47. You sir, are my hero! Thank you for the great work you have done, and for providing packages to other distro’s (I’m installing MATE now on Debian).

    Btw, have you considered switching from Ubuntu to Debian? Is way more stable, and has better defined package dependecies. I know do remeber about LMDE, but after a while I haven’t received any updates :(
    I’m aware that Debian has long release cycles: but you could use Debian testing a a base (still better than Ubuntu’s packages, IMHO)

  50. Can Mint-Menu be added to the Mate repos?
    I’ve installed Mate on a new Debian 7 system but can’t find Mint-Menu, I can only assume it is in the mint repos and not the mate repos.

    Thanks
