Argentina78 (MATE) Release News

[wuxmedia]

very glad i did - just had a upg that revoked the permissions. thank you me!

[machinebacon]

thanks wux, duly noted. should be set in /usr somewhere, forgot where, to override the Debian recommended settings at upg.

np masterbacon, i'm sure thats a bit beyond me, looks like i'll be changing to something simpler anyway.

Have been playing around with solusOS on old laptop and have developed a taste for gnome 2.3. Have recently resurrected a i5 laptop and am contemplating putting Argentina on it :). Where does the mate package come from? With updates is it up to 1.6 yet?

[wuxmedia]

^ not for me.
sources are using mate repos afaict.

[gurtid]

thx wux . . . i guess 1.6 isn't released yet then. Was on Mate site and got the impression it was.

[wuxmedia]

i was interested in upgrading seems the release is 'released' but it's not in debian -yet.
http://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html only one week in!

although i'm confoosed. seems it according to the website.
seems it's not an automatic update.
I will snapshot my system and try to upg over the weekend. try and post a how to.

edit preliminary install went very well. I was in I3 now i'm in mate, gotta love linux 8)
followed this on a clean (ie no mate 1.x nor gnome) install

[edit] nm - u already done it :P

[wuxmedia]

yeah, thanks - i saw that and conveniently ignored/didn't understand it. most things seem to work.
being force to get rid of compiz has made things snappy-ier but less wibbly cool
