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

|
Mon Feb 17 02:02:11 UTC 2014
|
|
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.

By default, gksu will not work in Slackware 14.1 since shadow has been patched
|
|
to fix security vulnerabilities, but this caused gksu to be broken.
|
|
See this thread on LQ for more information
|
|
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/%5Bslackware-14-1%5D-su-c-tty-hijacking-and-some-breakage-4175486942/
|
|
|
|
The solution for this problem is easy, but since it's not yet applied upstream,
|
|
we provided a simple fix from Mancha to fix this problem.
|
|
|
|
Download the shadow source from Slackware mirror site such as
|
|
http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-14.1/source/a/shadow/
|
|
or
|
|
http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware64-14.1/source/a/shadow/
|
|
|
|
and also a patch included in testing/shadow and put it on the same folder.
|
|
Edit the shadow.SlackBuild and add this line
|
|
patch -p1 --verbose < $CWD/shadow-4.1.5.1_CVE-2005-4890_relax.diff || exit 1
|
|
|
|
before configure line and rebuild shadow package.
|
|
You can upgrade to the modified version by running:
|
|
upgradepkg /tmp/shadow-4.1.5.1-i486-2.tgz
|
|
or
|
|
upgradepkg /tmp/shadow-4.1.5.1-x86_64-2.tgz
|
|
|
|
After upgrading to the modified version, gksu will work normally.
|
|
|
|
This patch will goes into Slackware 14.1 and Slackware-Current soon.

If you are encountering problems with multiple Caja instances during loading
|
|
the MATE desktop, change this line in /usr/share/applications/caja.desktop
|
|
Exec=caja
|
|
|
|
into
|
|
|
|
Exec=caja --sync
|
|
|
|
OR
|
|
|
|
edit the caja.SlackBuild script and uncomment this line
|
|
#sed -i 's/Exec=caja/Exec=caja --sync/' data/caja.desktop.in.in
|
|
and rebuild caja again.

|
|
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.

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.
