MATE desktop vanished after software update

Post by 0000ff »

Hello people,
I am using Linux Mint Debian Mate 64 Bit. After installing some OS updates and restart, MATE desktop vanished and instead some other kind of desktop (maybe Cinnamon with wrong settings) appeared. The new desktop is very slow and seems to be optimised for touch pads, because it doesn't have a menu on the bottom left. How can I change that?

open a terminal (use alt f2, type in mate-terminal or press ctrl alt T) type in terminal:

Code: Select all

mate-panel --reset
or

Code: Select all


sudo mate-panel --reset
see if that brings back your panel
