Keeping Mate 1.4

Post by Mister.T »

Can I keep Mate 1.4 while upgrading to LMDE UP7?

The reason I ask is this: Apparently there is a problem with the Mate Global Menu and Mate 1.6. IE: it doesn't work.

I NEED the Global Menu and will not upgrade if I cannot keep it.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Ok, I'm going to try something. Rather than using the update manager, I have locked everything "Mate" in Synaptic and will try an upgrade through there. Lets see how it go's.

The archives still exist but you are using a wrong path.
