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.
I have recently done a clean install of F18 including the MATE desktop which, as a fairly basic user, I find quite easy to use - I DID NOT install the gnome desktop.
Initially I installed the LXDE desktop.
I then installed the MATE and CINNAMON desktops via the following commands :
yum groupinstall "MATE Desktop"
yum groupinstall "Cinnamon Desktop"
I really lik

Hi, I installed the XFCE spin of F18 and added the MATE package group.
It works great (actually, both XFCE and MATE), but I face two problems:
1. II cannot get it (MATE) to start a terminal with a keyboard shortcut, not with the builtin Terminal item, and not with an added keyboard shortcut for the command (full path or just command name, doesn't matter).
I've stuck when I installed the Mate package , not only I can't update my system more but also I can't open the software center and synaptic packet manager !
Please , please , please help me !
How can I remove the mate with all its details from my ubuntu machine ?
Thanks in advance
In Ubuntu, Linux Mint or any other Linux distro that uses Gnome, if you close the terminal while some script or command is running within it, a window will appear to ask you to confirm the action:
I myself think this feature is redundant. In Linux Mint (MATE) to disable this confirmation window, you can hit Alt + F2 then type "mateconf-editor" to open the Configuration Editor window.
I just installed Mate on top of Ubuntu by the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://packages.mate-desktop.org/repo/ubuntu oneiric main"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mate-archive-keyring
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mate-core
sudo apt-get install mate-desktop-environment
Which caused no problems, but many things (window theme, Mint menu, ...) are missing
