MATE 1.14 and Cinnamon 3.0 for Slackware 14.2
hi guys,
You can find MATE 1.14 and Cinnamon 3.0 packages for Slackware 14.2 in the usual repository provided by Darren below: http://slackware.uk/csb/14.2/ http://slackware.uk/msb/14.2/1.14/ Note for users that prefer to compile manually: General: master branch is tracking latest releases (either stable/development) and always using Slackware Current as base so things may break when current development starts again. MSB: master branch in git is now tracking 1.15 development cycle with some new deps and more porting to GTK+3. If you want to build MATE 1.14 by yourself against Slackware 14.2, please use 14.2-mate-1.14 branch. GTK3 branch has been rebased against latest master changes. CSB: master branch will keep rolling out Cinnamon releases, including major upgrade (3.0 -> 3.x) while Slackware 14.2 packages will be built from 14.2 branch. We now host the projects in both github and gitlab: CSB: https://github.com/CinnamonSlackBuilds/csb https://gitlab.com/CinnamonSlackBuilds/csb MSB: https://github.com/mateslackbuilds/msb https://gitlab.com/mateslackbuilds/msb |
Running both flawlessly on a fresh 14.2 install. Very impressed with the looks of Cinnamon, very polished!
Thanks for all your efforts to give us additional desktops to work with!! |
Mate 1.14 is rock solid on 14.2 - thanks again Willy!
|
Just as soon as I get done building.......
.....Willy updates something.:doh: Story of my life. :) |
Thanks for this work Willy. Mate is my desktop of choice but I am thinking about giving Cinnamon a go.

Hi,
I've installed MATE on Slackware 14.2 and I'm impressed - it's awesome :) Just one issue: nm-applet is running, but the icon in the panel is missing upon reboot - the quickest way to restore it I've found is by restarting NetworkManager. Is this a known issue? |

try this:
Code:
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.networkmanager |
Unfortunately, the script didn't work. Mind that nm-applet is running in background, I just don't see the icon in MATE's panel (next to the clock, with the default settings).
Restarting NetworkManager makes it appear; in particular, even just *stopping* the service makes the icon visible. I tried reinstalling NetworkManager and network-manager-applet with no results. |
can you check whether you have /etc/xdg/autostart/nm-applet.desktop ?
i saw in VM and also in my wife's computer that also use 14.2 and MATE 1.14 nm-applet is there This screenshot was taken from a fresh installation of Slackware 14.2 in a VM used to build MATE 1.14 packages: https://mateslackbuilds.github.io/images/mate1.png |
yes, /etc/xdg/autostart/nm-applet.desktop is present.
This machine has been updated from current to 14.2 stable, and then I've added MATE. I suspect something went weird in the process. I'll investigate further and report here in case of success. Thanks for your help anyways! |
you can use slackpkg reinstall slackware{64} to reinstall all packages
