I cannot get Google Earth to install due to dependency problems but I can work on that, otherwise, all is well and even âmy-weatherâ starts as it should on this rig (Nvidia 1GB RAM GT 430 GPU, AMD Athlon II X3 CPU with 4GB RAM) which it doesnât on UM15.10 on the same PC!.
Started by changing my sources list using the sed command (before the iso came out) and had trouble from the start. Ran for a month like that and finally threw in the towel. Started fresh over with the iso and not seeing near as much trouble. Using it full time and have vBox running on it.
Been running it for a few days from USB stickâŚI update with the daily build just to see what might be newâŚsome of the themes are not there yet but as far as stability I havenât seen any issues yetâŚ
I havenât played around with it much as I have had little time!. I did install it on my laptop which past away (nothing to do with Ubuntu Mate, it was the backlight!) a few days later so I got another one off of eBay! (2nd hand).
You going to try that 1.12 ppa? I am getting really really tempted to install it, but I hope instead to see it in the regular channels. I know a couple of people already running it and they report its stable.
I donât think I will, a dev version on top of a dev version, doesnât really sound like a good combination to me!.
The problem there as I see it is that I might not know which is causing a problem should a problem indeed arise!, if the dev version of Mate causes a problem, I might think that the system is the cause and look in the wrong place to try and fix it, that also works vice versa!!.
UM 16.04 seems stable enough to me, I did notice a problem updating Flash this morning but I am running BBC One ( http://www.filmon.com/tv/bbc-one?quality=low ) in the background as I type and it plays okay!.
Yes, I agree. Better at this point to show a little patience and wait for it.
Not a big user of BBC I guess because I'm located in the states, but been a RedGreen fan for years
I am really pretty much problem free at the moment. The biggest thing I am dealing with is FireFox. Standard FF works without issue, but I use FF ESR. It will intermittently lock up with a zombie process when closing or at times will take a full minute to close, generating a crash report. Its not happening all the time making it tough for me to figure out.
16.04 is running great in VirtualBox with very few problems. Iâm downloading the daily build now, and considering running it as my primary OS. Real-time testingâŚindeed, so far so good.
@Wimpy⌠Before doing this, Iâm following your instructions here: âMATE for Xenialâ in VirtualBox. If all goes well, Iâll install as primary OS on my ThinkPad. Thanks for your work, brother man.
I just installed 16.04 on a Lenovo M58P desktop and is running very well. This is my first OS with MATE desktop and also limited experience with linux. This is basically a test machine with this the only OS.
I was surprised how well 16.04 runs because I figured being an alpha version it would have more issues. I am running the 64 bit version and have 8 gig of memory and have only received a couple of errors while testing. I have loaded several programs that I usually run and they work great.
16.04 Xenial is running wonderfully on my ThinkPad T410 with an Intel i5 processor , HD Graphics card, and 4 GB RAM. Running VirtualBox at 1 gigs of RAM (Windows 7 for Adobe Creative Cloud and Arch Linux just for fun). No problems at all. Keep up the great work, guys.
Yes, Iâve installed that and used Synaptic to install anything else recommended for vlcâŚjust quit working on Blu-Ray with the AACS errorâŚupdated the KEYDB.cfg file,âŚnada
