The following is a list of known issues with MATE on Slackware:

|

|
|
If you start MATE Volume Control in Applications > Sounds & Videos,
|
|
sometimes, you will find this error message "no volume control gstreamer
|
|
plugins and/or devices found".
|
|
|
|
You can fix this by running these steps:
|
|
- Go to System > Preferences > KDE System Settings > Multimedia
|
|
- Go to tab Phonon
|
|
- Click on Test button (make sure it gives you proper sound)
|
|
|
|
MATE Volume Control should be working now

|
Help menus and help buttons are disabled since they require yelp which
|
|
requires more dependencies. For those interested to build yelp, you may
|
|
find the SlackBuild in testing/yelp.
|
|
|
|
You also need to rebuild some packages, since by default, the SlackBuild
|
|
script is configured to remove help files. You can remove the
|
|
--without-help-dir line to produce help files.

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:

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

|
|
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.
