Btw. one of those documentations can be found here: http://forums.mate-desktop.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1955 I didn't use this howto, since I test it on Arch first and likely I won't continue to install it to Ubuntu Studio, but remove it from Arch ;). When I get one issue solved for mate, there will appear two new issues ;). That the "script" calls other software than mate "BLOATWARE" is ridiculous. It's worth the effort to take a look at Mate, but _keep_ Xfce and _backup_ Ubuntu Studio first. -- ubuntu-studio-users mailing list ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Update question, untrusted packages
Thanks, all.
I am now pretty clear on what to worry about or not.
I am now in full Alfred E. Neuman mode ("What, me worry?) and proceeding
with incaution.
Thanks again for all the insights.

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Mate
Ouch! MATE is buggy, even saving some basic settings doesn't work, unchecked startup applications e.g. will be automagically checked again. There's no user mailing list and there seem to be no experts in the forums. http://forums.mate-desktop.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1964#p6441 http://forums.mate-desktop.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1961 And than there are the conflicting packages, so I do understand that it is neither in Ubuntu's nor in Arch's official repositories. In theory a nice DE, in practice it is like the Windows DE. It's not that resource hungry as Cinnamon is, but it's inappropriate to replace Xfce.

[ubuntu-studio-users] Disply getting blurred after a couple of hours.
Hi, I am using an NVIDIA 9500 GT card and in windows it works well. Here my main display is on the DVI output and i use the VGA(from card and not the one onboard) output as secondary screen. On cold start the displays are fine and may be after a couple of hours the display starts cloudy/blurred and the Ardour/other desktop window header are not clear to read. Is this a driver issue or it could be of GFx card issue? I have tried both drivers from NVIDIA and restricted drivers also. The card is 3 years old now and Ubuntu Studio version i use is 12.04.2 32bit. The desktop is Core2Duo 1386 configuration.
