On my machine, it worked well, but it started a lot of file manager processes, causing the systray no room for other application and causing the machine to work on high load all the time until i logged out of the system.
any ideas on how to solve this problem? i'm running -Current and i have all modules built fine here |
i traced the mate-file-manager and run it in KDE and it reported an error
Code:
willysr@desktop:~$ caja now the problem is how to make caja is called with --sync parameter by default :) |
Huh, I'm not seeing that at all. It's working nicely here, 136 processes total with no real load. How are you starting MATE - from KDM/login manager or via startx?
|
Via startx after i changed the default DE into mate
|
i solved it temporarily by removing mate-file-manager-open-terminal and mate-file-manager

First off - thanks for your efforts with this Chess.
I did a git clone, ran base/mate-build-base.sh and it fell over when it got to gtk-engines with " You must have automake 1.7.x installed to compile". So I replaced ./autogen.sh in the SlackBuild with ./configure and it got through the configure process and built. I realise this is probably not as robust but I'm curious to see what Mate looks like. I am building on slackware64-current (March 20) BTW. The rest of base and extra was uneventful. I pushed my luck and went into testing as well, and I have a few comments: (1) mate-screensaver - the SlackBuild needed the old -L/usr/lib64 trick in Code:
elif [ "$ARCH" = "x86_64" ]; then (3) mate-text-editor required me to first install gtksourceview. Just logged out of KDE and logged into Mate desktop without rebooting and everything seems to be working. I spoke too soon. When I launch mate-terminal I get this: Code:
fskmh@workstation:~> mate-terminal Code:
fskmh@workstation:~> gsettings list-keys org.gnome.system.proxy.http Code:
fskmh@workstation:~> gconftool-2 --set /system/http_proxy/use_http_proxy --type bool true |

I appreciate the testing and feedback! |
i can confirm that everything is working well on Slackware64-Current with only base packages installed (no extra and testing)
now testing in another Slackware-Current machine with only base package installed if it's proven to be OK, then i guess one of the modules in extra/testing caused the problem i had with file-manager in base |

Here is what I get after running the build script in an "su -l" environment (without the -L/usr/lib64 kludge):
Code:
.. I must confess - this is on slack64-current with a truckload of extra packages (mostly from SBo). P.S. I have updated the following packages in the meantime: mate-calc-1.5.2 mate-control-center-1.5.5 mate-desktop-1.5.8 mate-icon-theme-faenza-1.5.1 mate-keyring-1.5.1 mate-media-1.5.2 mate-settings-daemon-1.5.7 mate-terminal-1.5.1 mate-themes-1.5.1 mate-window-manager-1.5.5 These I added myself: mate-file-manager-gksu-1.5.0 mate-bluetooth-1.5.1 mate-sensors-applet-1.5.2 mate-netspeed-1.5.2 I've been using this desktop for most of the afternoon and nothing's fallen over so far. Pulseaudio also seems to work the same as it does in KDE. |

Ah, thanks ponce - I suspected as much.

Just experienced the same issue willysr mentioned in #31. I tailed ~/.xsession-errors and got a bunch of these:
Code:
** Message: Initializing gksu extension... P.S. I am using runlevel 4 + KDM. |
Try removing the mate-file-manager-open-terminal package and see if that helps. Willysr removed it and the problem cleared up apparently
I can't reproduce it here -- the file manager and the open-terminal extension work fine. |

Tried disabling compositing as well, but that didn't help either. What did help was editing /usr/share/applications/caja.desktop and changing "Exec=caja" to "Exec=caja --sync". |
