Hi, I just migrated my workstation running CentOS 7 from KDE to MATE. It looks like I'm having the same problem with the Caja file manager than with Dolphin. Folder contents don't get refreshed automatically, and I have to hit F5. For example, when I download a file (say, a compressed archive) from the Internet, I have to hit F5 to see the file in Caja. And when I extract the archive, I

According to Twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/CentOSProject/status/1173652996305170432 "The next version of #CentOS is being released September 24 and will be announced in all the usual places." I'm wondering about the status of the Mate Desktop. Looking under M here: https://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/fedora/epel/8/Everything/x86_64/Packages/m/ I don't see anything

I'm using the MATE desktop (via 'yum groupinstall "MATE Desktop"') on CentOS 7. I'm finding the mouse to be rather flakey in the sense that: - in MATE Terminal, clicking on text and dragging the mouse (in order to highlight the text and copy it to the X cut & paste buffer) will sometimes drop the highlight (thus not copying anything), or stop and

hI ALL! There have been a large enough number of people posting here about difficulties when upgrading from 7. to 7.6 that I'm being somewhat paranoid about it. I have several machines to upgrade, but so far the only one I've dared to work on (least critical if it goes bad) is my new-to-me-but-used laptop. First I did a 'dd' backup of the whole drive onto an external USB drive

since I got the big bolus of updates from the CR repo a few days ago my netbook (AcerAspire One D255E) will no longer go to standby when the lid is closed. This was a Gnome desktopp installation with theh MATE desktop fromm EPEL. I've verified that the correct setting still exists in power manager but it persists in continuing to run when the lid closes. it WILL go to standby if explicitly

I'm running Mate on my C7 boxen, a desktop and a netbook.\ Mate comes from epel, so it's probably not a CentOS problem, but lemme ask here in case anybody else has seen it: some tools (nm, pavucontrol, and possibly others I haven't noted down) no longer have the correct formatting on screen. there are no backgrounds, i.e., backgrounds that define areas of the screen by shading or

The volume control might be controlling the volume on an unused output. Well, I don't think so... there are only two choices there, Headphones and Line Out.

Hello All, I have the problem described in this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1116756 It is also descibed in some detail here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/1264811 After printing, the print icon stays in the system tray until I logout. The bugzilla says there is a fix for Fedora21. Does anybody know how to get this fixed for C7? Thanks very much.

I've got a new VM installed for me by a sysadmin who apparently did a minmal install. As a result I've installed a bunch of things to try to get X going, including yum groupinstall "development and creative workstation", "Desktop platform" "mate desktop" but so far I've not found the incantation to get it to start up X at boot time. As far as I can

It looks like it was quickly fixed in MATE, hope EPEL moves fast... :) https://github.com/mate-desktop/libmateweather/issues/30#issuecomment-242190096 -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology!
