MATE Desktop Environment packages
Re: MATE Desktop Environment packages
Re: MATE Desktop Environment packages
Look again, andyun. There are keymap tools in Administration as well.
Re: MATE Desktop Environment packages
Yes, the one in the Administration menu is for setting them up system-wide. The one in the Preferences menu is setting them up for the running user only.caitlyn wrote:Look again, andyun. There are keymap tools in Administration as well.

Re: MATE Desktop Environment packages
And gedi.. I mean Pluma?
Re: MATE Desktop Environment packages
I didn't build it. And I didn't build Eye of Mate either. I think there are better alternatives out there that have no ties to a specific desktop. For example, leafpad is a better simple text editor than pluma, geany is a better code editor than pluma and viewnior is a better image viewer than Eye of Mate, in my opinion.NicePics13 wrote:And gedi..

Re: MATE Desktop Environment packages
May you correct the dependencies?gapan wrote:You're missing a lot of important packages. Of the ones in the /mate directory in our repos, you can probably only leave out mate-backgrounds, mate-common, mate-conf-editor, mate-doc-utils, mate-file-archiver, mate-file-manager-open-terminal, mate-document-viewer, mate-icon-theme, mate-netspeed and mate-sensors-applet. You'll be missing some functionality without these, but everything else has definitely got to be installed.
The programs Atril (Evince), Engrampa (File-Roller), mate-conf-editor work well.
The following programs of mate-utils work well too (I have dismissed dependencies arbitrarily)
mate-dictionary (works)
mate-disk-usage-analyzer (edit: works)
mate-screenshot (works, despite not recognizing other window managers, just like Xfce doesn't)
mate-search-tool (works)
mate-system-log (works) Gui for viewing logfiles
I believe that it would be very good to split these packages, if possible.
Not everyone would want to install
- mate-dictionary (e.g. using Xfce4 Dictionary)
- mate-disk-usage-analyzer (Baobab)
- mate-screenshot
- mate-search-tool (e.g. using Catfish or PManFM)
- MATE (looking at Baobab and the Log Viewer of MATE)
Code: Select all
$ slapt-get --list | grep mate | grep inst=yes

mate-icon-theme vs gnome-icon-theme
I believe that the MATE icon theme is exactly the same icon set as GNOME icon theme.
Please correct the index.theme files of the mate-themes package.
Instead of: Inherits=mate
Replace to: Inherits=mate,gnome
Try with the .icons folder in your home directory
Otherwise it is a waste of disk space (40MB instead of 30MB) and bandwidth (16MB instead of 8MB).
Alternatively, you can merge these packages into one.
I wonder why the MATE developers have done it like so.
I will ask the MATE developers about it.
Please correct the index.theme files of the mate-themes package.

Try with the .icons folder in your home directory
Code: Select all
[~]$ mkdir .icons/Fog-two
[~]$ cd .icons/Fog-two/
[Fog-two]$ ln -s /usr/share/icons/Fog/16x16/ 16x16
[Fog-two]$ ln -s /usr/share/icons/Fog/22x22/ 22x22
[Fog-two]$ ln -s /usr/share/icons/Fog/24x24/ 24x24
[Fog-two]$ ln -s /usr/share/icons/Fog/32x32/ 32x32
[Fog-two]$ ln -s /usr/share/icons/Fog/48x48/ 48x48
[Fog-two]$ ln -s /usr/share/icons/Fog/256x256/ 256x256
[Fog-two]$ cp /usr/share/icons/Fog/index.theme index.theme
- Actions:
- Add ",gnome" to: Inherits=mate
Like this: Inherits=mate,gnome - Rename: Name=Fog to Name=Fog2
Otherwise it is a waste of disk space (40MB instead of 30MB) and bandwidth (16MB instead of 8MB).

Not unless the mate devs split them in separate packages. And I don't see the reason.zAchAry wrote:I believe that it would be very good to split these packages, if possible.
So don't install the mate-utils package. But don't complain that you're missing functionality because you're missing the mate-utils package.zAchAry wrote:Not everyone would want to install

Maybe. I'm not sure everything is the same.zAchAry wrote:I believe that the MATE icon theme is exactly the same icon set as GNOME icon theme.

Until this point, I have installed everything without manipulations by me, and Caja does not work 100% properly.gapan wrote:Dependencies of what? And correct to what? They are already correct as far as I can tell.zAchAry wrote:May you correct the dependencies?

Either way, ",gnome" should be added to line number 4, if we would like users to enjoy the Fog and Quid icon themes without installing the MATE icon theme.gapan wrote:Maybe.

Not necessarily. The Fog and Quid icon themes work just fine if you have the mate-icon-theme installed.zAchAry wrote:Either way, ",gnome" should be added to line number 4, if we would like users to enjoy the Fog and Quid icon themes.
