Fedora 18 & MATE

linux-howto

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – First I want to say kudos to Fedora for including MATE in F18, along with a shout out to the MATE developers who made it possible. I've been testing extensively and it's running great for me. Everything from MythTV to Gimp 2.8.2 is working fine. The DE feels snappy and I'm more certainly more productive. It's like an old friend has returned from banishment. :D I would have just posted this in an existing F18 MATE thread but some of those had gotten kinda off topic. :blink: I do hope there is a future in the partnership between Fedora & MATE. I hope to see Compiz-MATE be available i (HowTos)

MATE Installation 38 weeks 19 hours ago

Hello everybody ,

I am really glad to see that MATE is included in fc18 future plans.

I just installed Alpha version but I cannot find a way to install mate. I installed all the mate-* packages but still no option for MATE.

Is MATE included in the Alpha version?

Well, I did it, I got MATE (aka Gnome 2...) on Fedora. Here's how to get it:

Code: sudo yum groupinstall mate-desktop That's it! Just log out, select MATE in your desktop environments, and you now have a close representation of Gnome 2.

Hello @ all My question is, cause ic can't fetch and install compiz from the mate-desktop-fedora-new-application-testing repository (as i did a few days before), where is it gone?

Recently i decided to try MATE. I had XFCE installed. So I ran:

Code: yum install @mate-desktop I did not like it. Anyway, I though Code: yum remove @mate-desktop would uninstall JUST mate. But I realized mate and xfce share some dependencies. My desktop crashed.

I need help for uninstall MATE from any way and keep XFCE.

after doing a

sudo apt-get --purge remove mate-panel mate-applets

and a

sudo apt-get --purge remove mate-panel mate-applets

for trying to get rid of a trayicon issue on my system, the mate window manager seems to be not working anymore.

after login, i still get a gui, but only a terminal is running in there. also no panel and menus are available. for this terminal and any other application

The development team behind the MATE desktop environment proudly announces that the stable 1.6 version of the popular project is now available for download and upgrade.

Highlights of MATE 1.6:

Manjaro no updates 2 days 14 hours ago

Hi! Knowing that this a is a Arch forum (Manjaro depends on Arch): After having installed Manjaro 0.86 Mate 1.6 I tried to update the system. Because Manjaro Mate comes with both BT managers (Mate and blueman) and BT does not work in many Mate editions, I deleted Mate BT manger and wanted to update.

MATE Desktop question? 14 weeks 46 min ago

How can I remove default desktop environment (xfce in this situation) after installing mate, and make mate default and stand-alone DE in fedora 18?

I think that tends to be a feature of some tiling window managers.  For example i3 also does this.  But I also have not used mate extensively enough to give you a definitive answer about this.  Of course, you could always just use a different window manager in place of mate's.
