http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=997967 Bug ID: 997967 Summary: installing mate desktop on opensuse gives hardly usable environment Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.2 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: msuchanek@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- ok, so I installed server installation (mate is not listed as possible desktop in installer), installed sddm, xinit, xorg-x11, xorg-x11-server and the mate pattern. sddm does not work but startx gives desktop .. with icewm. This is really bad - mate panel is not started automagically - when it is started manually it conflicts with the icewm panel and is unusable - without mate panel there is no place for application panel icons (xembed or whatever it's called currently) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
