MATE-Desktop for fedora

[raveit65]

Mate-Desktop-1.4 was released last friday!
Repos for fc16 and fc17 are updated.

Fantastic news!

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=840149

Good to see so much support behind this project. Lets hope it doesn't go the way of Trinity.
That being said, I think Mate has lost some relevance now that Cinnamon has really taken off and is an official package.

Just installed MATE on Fedora 16 and it is awesome, even faster than XFCE.

Why I'm missing mate-desktop-fedora-new-applications-testing repo? Is this a known bug?

yum search compiz --enablerepo=mate-desktop-fedora-new-applications-testing
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit, remove-with-leaves, tidy-cache, versionlock


Error getting repository data for mate-desktop-fedora-new-applications-testing, repository not found

[raveit65]

yum search compiz --enablerepo=mate-desktop-fedora-new-application-testing

works for me, cp this command and try again

[Valent]

Ahh, I had a typo "aplications" instead of "aplication", thanks!

Repo is now working but I get errors installing compiz-mate-gtk, is that the right package for Mate on Fedora 16?

No
root@mother rave]# rpm -qa compiz\*
compiz-plugins-extra-0.8.8-1.fc16.x86_64
compiz-0.8.8-2.fc16.x86_64
compiz-mate-0.8.8-2.fc16.x86_64
compiz-plugins-main-mate-0.8.8-1.fc16.x86_64
compiz-manager-0.6.0-14.fc16.noarch
compizconfig-python-0.8.4-3.fc16.x86_64
compiz-plugins-extra-mate-0.8.8-1.fc16.x86_64
compiz-plugins-unsupported-0.8.8-1.fc16.x86_64

compiz-plugins-main-0.8.8-1.fc16.x86_64
compiz-plugins-unsupported-mate-0.8.8-1.fc16.x86_64

compiz-mate-gtk is a a 0.9.x version for user who wants to use fedoras fc16 compiz versions.
But i recommend to use stable 0.88. For this you need a yum versionlock list.
see post 1

thanks, got my 3D Cube back, only package missing is compiz-gtk but it works without it.

If you see any errors please report them and I'll edit my post, thanks.

This is wrong, remove the spaces

nano / etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.list

[Valent]

Unfortunaltelly I have to leave space because apache modsecurity plugin on that host doesn't allow usage of system paths like "/etc/*" so I can't write them in my blog posts

Change it to

cd / && nano etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.list

hello all ,

Since the updates to 1.4.1 (sat 11th) I have some "dependency"
problem .

First I lost the use of yumex , so I tried with yum yesterday and now.

It seems some package wants to install libmatecomponent.i686 0:1.4.0-5.fc17 and therefore some other .i686 , because this is a
x86_64 install on Fc17_LXDE .

As it says on the last line after the shell command :

Error: Protected multilib versions: libmatecomponent-1.4.0-5.fc17.i686 != libmatecomponent-1.4.0-8.fc17.x86_64

I suspect the problem with yumex is related with this one ,

so I hope some one has a hint ,

Thanks to all for this work on Mate desktop in the Fedora world !

[jonathonp]

Use:

yum --setopt=protected_multilib=false update

and

yum --setopt=protected_multilib=false install package

Example:

yum --setopt=protected_multilib=false update libmatecomponent

If you have fedora-packager group membership there are still some un-assigned review requests.
