MATE 1.8 to 1.10 Upgrade HOWTO
|
|
<mateslackbuilds@gmail.com>
|
|
|
|
This document explains how to upgrade from MATE 1.8 to MATE 1.10 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 1.10 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 1.10 has new and obsoleted
|
|
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 1.10 packages:
|
|
|
|
upgradepkg --install-new --reinstall /path/to/deps/*.txz
|
|
upgradepkg --install-new --reinstall /path/to/base/*.txz
|
|
upgradepkg --install-new --reinstall /path/to/extra/*.txz
|
|
|
|
2. Remove obsolete packages:
|
|
|
|
removepkg mate-calc
|
|
removepkg mate-dialogs
|
|
|
|
3. 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 1.8
|
|
|
|
At this point you should be running MATE 1.10 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 67
|
|
packages:
|
|
|
|
$ ls /var/log/packages | grep _msb | wc -l
|
|
66
|
|
|
|
We wish everyone good luck with this! Please report any issues to
|
|
