ubuntu-mate / ubuntu-mate-settings Goto Github PK

The package overrides our firefox policies.json file, during install you get a dialog for what to choose(write, keep or compare). I've tried finding the option to preconfigure this with debconf so that we can do a unattended install, but to no avail.

Any suggestions?

Only Cupertino and Redmond have "Advanced Menu" variations. The variation of Cupertino that used MATE Menu should be dropped and Redmond should use MATE Menu by default with no alternative menu option.

First just want to apologize that I don't know where else to post this, but wondering how you configure plank and the MATE panel to 'not' overlap each other in the Mutiny layout. By default, adding a Plank panel in 'Fill' mode will fill the screen end to end, hence overlap with any existing panels in the way. In Mutiny, it's somehow configured to account for the space that the top panel takes up. I can't find an obvious setting for this or any information about this online, so wondering how you create that magical 'offset' in Plank?

Steps to reproduce:

1. Have Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS with ubuntu-mate-desktop and caja-dropbox installed
2. Upgrade it with do-release-upgrade -d to 18.04.1 LTS
3. Reboot after upgrade to new system, login and get no Dropbox icon in the tray.
4. Remove DropBox from the system (as in https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/problems-with-the-dropbox-icon-in-the-panel-um-18-04-1/17495/6 ):

killall dropbox
sudo apt-get purge caja-dropbox
rm -rf ~/.dropbox
sudo apt-get install caja-dropbox

5. Reboot and log-in again, still no DropBox icon.
6. Try to launch DropBox from terminal with caja-dropbox start and get the following output in the terminal (as in https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/problems-with-the-dropbox-icon-in-the-panel-um-18-04-1/17495/7):

$ caja-dropbox start
...
Gtk-Message: 15:44:51.977: Failed to load module "topmenu-gtk-module"
...

Expected results: caja-dropbox works after upgrading from 16.04.5 LTS to 18.04.1 LTS.

Actual results: caja-dropbox does not work after upgrading from 16.04.5 LTS to 18.04.1 LTS.

The solution is to remove one file

sudo rm /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99mate-environment

as it contain references to non-existent topmenu-gtk-module - see below

$ sudo grep -ir topmenu-gtk-module /etc/
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/99mate-environment:        GTK_MODULES="canberra-gtk-module:topmenu-gtk-module"
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/99mate-environment:        GTK_MODULES="$GTK_MODULES:canberra-gtk-module:topmenu-gtk-module"

and then reboot.

Downstream report : bug 1785622 at LaunchPad.

Recommendation: consider removing this file during upgrade of ubuntu-mate-default-settings package or rename it back to /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99mate-environment as it was in 16.04 LTS to make do-release-upgrade-process smoother.
