Warning: The transaltion of 'calculate' entry is not possible. My way: create a new 'mate category' called Mate-Puppy-Business.directory. It's works fine.

Hi, can someone provide fool-proof instructions on how to install the Mate desktop onto a late-version Puppy. I *believe* that I installed the Mate desktop application, and seem to get some of the apps which come with Mate, but have not had the *desktop* come up (ie. top panel, Applications/Places/System, icons, screens), and no obvious way to select that desktop format to make it active.

There IS a puppy_mate.iso online which works, but uses Mate1.4, on Puppy5.2.xx.
Has someone progressed this project since then?

Thanks, m

Thanks, I'll keep persisting.
Can someone confirm that mate-precise-installer-0.3.pet works with puppy_tahr.iso. ?
That's where I'm at.

When I un-pack mate-precise-installer-0.3 I get a mate-precise-installer-0.3 folder.
Then puppy does not respond to shutdown process. Stays on.
Have to force shutdown by holding start button.
When I restart, there is no indication that mate has been installed. There is no obvious facility to select the mate desktop on this puppy desktop, or on next reboot.

Any help by someone who has mated puppy_tahr.iso with the mate desktop, would be appreciated.

Thanks m

Unsure if this is being supported but installed it, works great for everything, only issue is when I run the command to save my session it won't save. I get the dialog "Request to save current session is queued..." and it never disappears on its own/saves. I have to swap to JWM in order to save, which is pretty inconvenient. Any resolutions? D:

that is strange... pupsaveconfig launch it it if already installed and set it 0 'zero' at shutdown.
Does it make a difference. ?
Another idea : Smile

change the theme, sometimes the theme get the process fail.

I could not help more, as i run the french version, Triton, and never had that issue.
