Let me tell you another story: I've tried to switch my Factory installation from Gnome to Mate and broke it apparently. I can choose mate from the selection but nothing then it's stuck. There is nothing coming up. Since there is no pattern at all for Mate (why???) I had to choose packages manually and apparently failed. Seems that dependencies are broken. Also tried to find some documentation what I actually need to install but failed again.
Wolfgang Sorry but that s an unwanted effect of using Factory. And Im working on patterns. The issues you mentioned have been fixed. ... have been fixed... where?
Benjamin Cheers.
l8er manfred What are you talking about ? Which bugs ? Be more precise. And if you encountered issuesm why don`t you have open a bug report ? hmm, I thought it was pretty clear, but obviously not.
Like Wolfgang confirmed, there is no (at least no obvious) way to get Mate installed so that it works afterwards. I tried to "zypper install --recommends ..." all the packages listed in the 13.1 ymp (but from the Factory repositories, of course), but the desktop wasn't really usable afterwards (Gnome main menu doesn't want to start, leaving the Mate desktopn *without* a main menu!).
It is my understanding that, for something that should be documented as "xxx is now available in 13.2", we should make sure to make it installable in the first place. Right now it's not, and if you say, "the issues have been fixed", we need to know how and where.
FWIW, as I mentioned before, I tried to install the Mate packages as of yesterday, but I really didn't succeed. FWIW2, I'm currently using XFCE as my desktop session, so I don't know if there are any of XFCE related session services in conflict with Mate.
In any way, there ought to be a pattern-mate-desktop or something similar, otherwise we'll end up in a bad situation for users who aren't familiar with .ymp files (which don't exist for 13.2 or even Factory!) or even the command line.
HTH, cheers.
l8er manfred I Manfred, the issues you're talking about were because of a trouble with gsetting. If you still have a problem, please describe me troubles you meet, it could be helpful.
Wolfgang, you clearly don't know how is working releasing of openSUSE. Of course there is no 13.2 repositories on Current, as it's not stable for the moment. If you wan't to test Mate for 13.2, there are in the OFFICIAL REPOSITORIES, you don't have to add any repo for getting packages. Regards.
