No, that is correct. That blog post is wrong. mate-desktop package is just a library, read the description from http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/mate-desktop: Library with common API for various MATE modules
Metapackage to install MATE is mate-desktop-environment, and it is uploaded on Debian Sid just today (http://packages.qa.debian.org/m/mate- desktop-environment/news/20140519T130009Z.html), so it will come in Ubuntu Utopic soon, but not in Trusty. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1320408 Title: after mate is installed, it does not show up as a login option in lightdm To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mate-desktop/+bug/1320408/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
