Normally I'm running Cinnamon, but I thought I'd try MATE as well.
So I installed
mate-mint-meta
, logged out, selected MATE, all is well.But after reboot, I only get my wallpaper, and after quite some time, the desktop icons.
But the bottom panel is gone.
I got into a terminal using ctrl-alt-t and ran
mate-panel
. That works, until I close the terminal, then it's gone again.Cinnamon runs normally and seems completely unaffected.
I fancy trying MATE, maybe I like it better than Cinnamon (I did try XFCE before, to my personal taste it lacks "oomph"), but to test it properly it needs to run well...
So what am I doing wrong here?
