On another note, the version that is available for C7, Mate 1.16.2,does not save all sessions when it crashes, nor does it savepositions or session order arrangement on the bar. This means thatevery time the computer is restarted you have to spend time arrangingyour desktop working environment... I have not found any utility todo this for me either.Quite annoying, particularly since I remember that even OS/2 savedthe desktop perfectly upon shutdown.Does Mate 1.20 do better in this regards?
Hi,I have been using it for about a week and I have not found anyproblems, but only one: when I use 3 monitor /a notebook, and two lcd/,sometimes the display was frozen.I think, it is better, then 1.16, but I didn’t find a huge differencein use, maybe it more responsive, and look likes better ☺ --Fonya
Couple of questions:
- Which exact version of Mate are you running?
mate-desktop-1.20.4-2.el7.x86_64
- Do you have a HiDPI display? That is one of the reasons I am
interested in a version later than 1.16 which has lots of issues on such a laptop display?
How can I exactly recognise hidp display? I had used multiple monitor with docking station /I have a Dell Latitude 7480, with thunderbolt docking station, audio, video, and network connections/
- You say it is better (apart from freezing your display which is not
good), how so?
With subjective feeling, and usage. Smoother display, better response, I can resize windows more than one pixel border. Bigger version number ☺ I had no particular reason to upgrade, I just wanted to it.
- Did you download Mate 1.20? If so, from where?
I compiled by hand, using the know-how, and scripts from https://github.com/gebailey/mate-rpms
- Or, did you compile it yourself?
Yes, I compile it myself. The libs, and build environment a little bit updated by hand, I try to compile mate 1.24 first, from fedora packageges, but I'm stuck with some libs, and tetex version, and I had give up.
