I just installed the Mate desktop on top of a minimal install of Ubuntu 14.04.4. I just tried to install mate-tweak, and while the installation went through, nothing happens when I try to open it. I basically just have an icon that looks like a desktop folder, and when I click on it there’s no response. Here’s the output I get when I try to open it from the terminal:
$ mate-tweak
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/Gtk.py:50: RuntimeWarning: You have imported the Gtk 2.0 module. Because Gtk 2.0 was not designed for use with introspection some of the interfaces and API will fail. As such this is not supported by the pygobject development team and we encourage you to port your app to Gtk 3 or greater. PyGTK is the recomended python module to use with Gtk 2.0
warnings.warn(warn_msg, RuntimeWarning)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/bin/mate-tweak”, line 31, in
from gi.repository import Gdk, GdkPixbuf, Gio, GObject, Gtk, Notify
ImportError: cannot import name Notify
Is there something else I need to install to get it to work? I’d like to replace the current theme with Redmond in order to get rid of the top panel and maximize vertical space. Thanks.
EDIT: Here’s what I have installed so far …
mate-desktop-environment-core, mate-themes, mate-desktop-environment, mate-desktop-environment-extras
