MATE 1.6 to 1.8 Upgrade HOWTO <willysr@slackware-id.org>
|
|
|
|
This document explains how to upgrade from MATE 1.6 to 1.8 in Slackware
|
|
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. :-)
|
|
|
|
To do this, you'll need the MATE 1.8 packages ready in your local system.
|
|
Grab it from official repository at http://www.slackware.org.uk/msb/ or any
|
|
other mirror sites.
|
|
|
|
0. log out from MATE Desktop
|
|
|
|
1. Upgrade/Install all new packages from MATE 1.8
|
|
|
|
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 that some of the files are found on other packages and
|
|
it will not be deleted. That's fine, since these packages gets a new
|
|
name on 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
|
|
mate-screensaver working for desktop locking feature, you will be glad
|
|
to know that mate-screensaver is now moved to extra and without the
|
|
need of pam and pam_unix2 libraries anymore. So 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. :-)
|
|
|
|
We wish everyone good luck with this!
