ubuntu-desktop not getting along with mate-desktop
Posted: Thu Apr 18, 2013 8:36 pm
Hi, I have LM 14 Nadia 64-bit MATE edition, and I've installed a variety of desktop environments on my machine, to ease the monotonicity of using just one all the time, and to have lighter DEs to switch to when I want to conserve battery life. However, installing ubuntu-desktop has had some weird consequences for my MATE. Number one, every time I log in to the MATE DE, it tells me that there was a big error starting update-apt-xapian-index, something about there being no module named "linuxmint" (I don't have the error report on hand; the best I can do is the console output:)
The second thing is that the Mint Menu has the Ubuntu Dashboard type scrollbars on it, which don't even work. They're in both the left and right areas under Applications. The third thing that isn't actually a problem because it looks nicer on my theme is that the icons in the notification area seem to have turned white, whereas they were gray before. This might actually be because I got rid of the notification area and inserted it again, making it refresh and reload the items from my theme, but I'm putting it out there just in case. (I don't count this as a problem.) Also, on the Ubuntu side, it uses the Adwaita pointers for everything except the generic, inactive pointer, which is the DMZ-white one I use for MATE. That's pretty annoying, but I can live with it.
How do I get rid of my problems? Especially the first and second one.
