How do I install mate-notification-theme-slate?

Since I’m using the arc theme, I wanted to get mate-notification-theme-slate to match the overall theme, but I can’t seem to get it on the popup notification options(or if I installed it correctly at all).

After installing git, make and all the other stuff it asked, this is what I get when I put sudo make install on the terminal:

azul@azul-ubuntu:~/mate-notification-theme-slate$ sudo make install
make  install-am
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/azul/mate-notification-theme-slate'
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/azul/mate-notification-theme-slate'
make[2]: Nothing to be done for 'install-exec-am'.
 /bin/mkdir -p '/usr/lib/mate-notification-daemon/engines'
 /bin/bash ./libtool   --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c   libslate.la '/usr/lib/mate-notification-daemon/engines'
libtool: install: /usr/bin/install -c .libs/libslate.so /usr/lib/mate-notification-daemon/engines/libslate.so
libtool: install: /usr/bin/install -c .libs/libslate.lai /usr/lib/mate-notification-daemon/engines/libslate.la
libtool: finish: PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/snap/bin:/sbin" ldconfig -n /usr/lib/mate-notification-daemon/engines
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Libraries have been installed in:
   /usr/lib/mate-notification-daemon/engines

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the '-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
   - add LIBDIR to the 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
     during execution
   - add LIBDIR to the 'LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
     during linking
   - use the '-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
   - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to '/etc/ld.so.conf'

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

Anyone who installed it or that could help mind helping me?

That confounded me for a while, then I figured it out, but I don’t have that computer any more, and I don’t remember now :confounded: I’ll try to see if I can remember.

I think you need to move the .so file(s) from

/usr/lib/mate-notification-daemon/engines

to

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mate-notification-daemon/engines

Give that a try.

Did just that, and it worked! Thank you @elcste. :grinning:

Wonder why this theme is not included on Ubuntu Mate. Arc and Adapta theme are pretty popular from what I have seen.
