I'm going to have to try that on my experiemtal C8 VM. I have for the moment given up on it because I can barely navigate my way through Gnome and it became just too painful.

Thanks to the people/person(s) who did all the hard work for us! I did notice while following the procedure that it failed to install pygpgme, but everything seems to be fine without it. Is it needed for something I haven't found yet? Fred -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- "For the word of God is living and active.

I have to go back to the standard gui to do that. My printers are Brother MFC-J6520DW and MFC-J6930DW installed from the Brother supplied software using cups. Have I missed something in the install of MATE? -- Cheers Bill
