Some 18.04 Beta 1 feedback

Fresh install of Ubuntu MATE 18.04 (alpha) on ASUS P8H67-M PRO, Samsung 850 EVO 150 GB SSD, 16 GB RAM, 17 GB swap area + all updates available via Software Updater

Control Center - MATE Tweak

  • missing Interface - Icons -> Show icons on buttons (used to disable this - icons on buttons is so 1990-ies)

Hibernate / Resume from Hibernate

Software Boutique

  • Etcher - Update -> installation works now
  • Virtualbox - Update -> installation works now

Redmond Layout

  • Brisk menu can be added to the panel, but cannot be moved at all - it is not placed correctly
  • saving a customised Redmond layout is possible - restoring the saved layout is a mess - only some of the icons saved to the “quick launch” panel do appear, others don’t (same issue on Ubuntu MATE 17.10 for some months now)

(to be updated…)
