Hi all Yesterday I dist-upgrade ASCII 2.1 (MATE DM) to Beowulf, following [1].
Overall, the upgrade appears to have gone well; the process has completed and the system is fully functional. But there are some details (maybe minor issues) I would like to report, also with some questions. Now I have: ~~~ $ uname -a Linux computer0 4.6.0-0.bpo.1-rt-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Debian 4.6.4-1~bpo8+1 (2016-08-11) x86_64 GNU/Linux $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Debian Description: Devuan GNU/Linux 3 (beowulf) Release: 3 Codename: beowulf ~~~ 1- There is one aspect of the upgrade that I don't think is in place, and that I would like to point out: elogind, libelogind0, libpam-elogind have not been upgraded; indeed these packages are marked as 'upgradable'. How should I manage this situation? 2. Having upower installed, I have downgraded upower packages as suggested in [1], to avoid problems like bug#394 [2] which seems mainly related to cinnamon. But I do not have cinnamon... So what I should do? Downgrade or not? If not, how to disable downgrading of those packages? 3. Programs with a graphic display started complaining about the warning "Couldn't register with accessibility bus: ..." [3][4]. Putting 'export NO_AT_BRIDGE=1' in /etc/environment seems to have blocked the alerts. I don't know if it's a real solution or just a workaround that doesn't solve the underlying problem. 4. After the upgrade, gtk has lost the font configuration, meaning that gtk applications had a generic sans font with an almost illegible minimum size. I suppose it's due to a change in the gtk theme. I solved it by manually setting font and size using Gtk-ChTheme. 5. Some MATE problems: 5.1. MATE shows a very *huge* amount of errors in .xsession-errors 5.2. The trash icon don't work as expected anymore: if the trash can contains data then the full-trash icon and its label are displayed; when empty, there isn't any trash icon bau the label is still in place. I suppose this is a problem with the theme and/or the svg icon being used (but I cannot figure out which one is among the many svg trash icons in /usr/share/icons ...) 5.3. MATE (1.20.4) has changed its default typeface which now is the *ugly* Cantarell, as used in Gnome 3 [5]. Since I don't really like Cantarell, I had to manually revert default MATE fonts to DejaVu... Please let me know your suggestions.
