MATE 1.6 to 1.8 Upgrade HOWTO

|
|
This document explains how to upgrade from MATE 1.6 to MATE 1.8 on
|
|
Slackware Linux 14.1.
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Before you begin, we strongly recommend making a backup of your system, or,
|
|
if not the entire system, at least the /etc and your home directory. You
|
|
might find that you need to refer to a few things after the upgrade process
|
|
is complete. Back it up, or take your chances.
|
|
|
|
OK, now that everything is safely backed up, let's proceed. :-)
|
|
|
|
You will need the MATE 1.8 packages available on your local system. Grab
|
|
them from the official repository at http://www.slackware.org.uk/msb/ or
|
|
any of the mirror sites. Due to the fact that MATE 1.8 has new, obsoleted,
|
|
and renamed packages, we do not recommend upgrading using slackpkg+ or
|
|
other similar utilities.
|
|
|
|
0. Log out from the MATE desktop.
|
|
|
|
1. Upgrade and install all new MATE 1.8 packages:
|
|
|
|
upgradepkg --install-new --reinstall /path/to/base/*.txz
|
|
upgradepkg --install-new --reinstall /path/to/extra/*.txz
|
|
|
|
2. Remove obsolete packages:
|
|
|
|
removepkg mate-file-manager-gksu
|
|
removepkg mate-file-manager-image-converter
|
|
removepkg mate-file-manager-open-terminal
|
|
removepkg mate-file-manager-sendto
|
|
removepkg mate-keyring
|
|
removepkg libmatekeyring
|
|
removepkg mate-doc-utils
|
|
removepkg libmatewnck
|
|
removepkg mate-character-map
|
|
removepkg mate-bluetooth
|
|
|
|
3. Remove renamed packages:
|
|
|
|
removepkg mate-file-manager
|
|
removepkg mate-window-manager
|
|
removepkg mate-document-viewer
|
|
removepkg mate-image-viewer
|
|
removepkg mate-file-archiver
|
|
removepkg mate-menu-editor
|
|
removepkg mate-text-editor
|
|
|
|
You will notice some messages that that some of the files are found in
|
|
other packages and cannot be deleted. That's fine, since these files
|
|
are included in new packages with a new name in MATE 1.8 (see
|
|
MATE-1.8-CHANGES.TXT).
|
|
|
|
4. Remove PAM-related packages (optional):
|
|
|
|
If you happened to install pam/pam_unix2 packages in MATE 1.6 to get
|
|
/testing/mate-screensaver working for the desktop locking feature, you
|
|
will be glad to know that mate-screensaver is now moved to /extra and
|
|
no longer needs the pam and pam_unix2 libraries anymore. So, if you
|
|
installed pam for MATE 1.6, these two packages can be safely deleted:
|
|
|
|
removepkg pam
|
|
removepkg pam_unix2
|
|
|
|
5. Run xwmconfig and select xinitrc.mate-session. This ensures you get the
|
|
latest copy of xinitrc.mate-session due to changes in mate-session-
|
|
manager. ALWAYS run this command for both new installations or upgrades
|
|
from MATE 1.6
|
|
|
|
At this point you should be running MATE 1.8 on Slackware 14.1. :-) If
|
|
you have installed everything from /base and /extra (which will include
|
|
packages from the /deps directory) then you should have a total of 62
|
|
packages:
|
|
|
|
$ ls /var/log/packages | grep _msb | wc -l
|
|
62
|
|
|
|
We wish everyone good luck with this! Please report any issues to
|
|
