The following is a list of known issues with MATE on Slackware:
|
|
|
|
Tue Feb 22 04:55:09 UTC 2022
|
|
Users running latest NVidia drivers (495.46 and 510.54) will not be able
|
|
to run startx due to a bug in xorg-server which has been reported
|
|
(https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/issues/1275).
|
|
Users may need to rebuild xorg-server with a patch
|
|
(https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/uploads/77b05c7b76be45e56447f37950be3092/present-crash-fix.diff)
|
|
unless the patch is backported back to Slackware 15.0.

|
|
Users running xdm instead of the default kdm might face a situation
|
|
where users can't login. This happened because there's a race condition
|
|
issue in xdm which can be solved easily by adding this line in
|
|
/etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config:
|
|
DisplayManager*AuthName: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1
|
|
|
|
Tue Mar 17 14:58:26 UTC 2020
|
|
Users running Slackware 14.2 upgraded to current will got an error when
|
|
logging in using runlevel 4. It worked fine on runlevel 3. This happened
|
|
on MATE 1.24. One solution is to install slim (available on SBo).
|
|
|
|

|
|
Help menus and help buttons are now enabled but they will not be usable
|
|
unless you have yelp (this requires webkit2gtk not provided here, but
|
|
available in SBo). For those interested to build yelp, you may
|
|
find the SlackBuild in testing/yelp.
|
|
|
|
Mon Jun 10 03:09:28 UTC 2013 (FIXED)
|
|
If you are encountering problems with Caja (MATE's file manager) opening
|
|
directories when clicking on files in certain programs like Dropbox, Skype,
|
|
and others, please execute the following steps to fix it:
|
|
|
|
As your regular user, back up the following file:
|
|
$HOME/.local/share/applications/defaults.list and then enter the next two
|
|
commands in a terminal to set the default handler:
|
|
|
|
xdg-mime default caja-folder-handler.desktop inode/directory
|
|
xdg-mime default caja-folder-handler.desktop application/x-directory
|
|
|
|
You should be all set. Thanks to Totoro-kun and T3slider for reporting and
|
|
discussing this in the LQ forums and also thanks to Giorgos Keramidas for
|
|
creating the initial patch. Here is a link to the LQ thread which also has
|
|
a link to Giorgos's blog with the patch:

|
|
|
|
UPDATE: Mon Mar 13 01:27:06 UTC 2017
|
|
mate-desktop has been updated to provide default application for some categories.
|
|
This will only work with new user. Existing user will not be affected and manual
|
|
intervention will still be needed.

|
|
If you have dual monitor with NVidia card and set it up to use both monitors
|
|
as separate, you might encounter some freeze lockup. A temporary workaround
|
|
is to change it into TwinView in your xorg.conf
|
|
|
|
Sun Mar 24 02:47:56 UTC 2013
|
|
If you run into strange panel issues, or missing icons, or theme problems,
|
|
please consider backing up or clearing out some of the hidden directories
|
|
in your $HOME, like $HOME/.config and $HOME/.cache and $HOME/.local. If
|
|
you switch back and forth between different desktop environments, sometimes
|
|
those settings can get polluted. You can also try to remove/rename your
|
|
.gtkrc-2.0 if it does exists on your home directory.

|
Working to determine whether mate-polkit is necessary. According to
|
|
upstream, it is, although it results in duplicative polkit actions when a
|
|
USB stick is inserted, for example. Disabling polkit-gnome in the "Startup
|
|
Applications" is a workaround until more testing is done.
