Hi Wimpy,

I downloaded the 64 bit version and there are no problems that I can see thus far!. :smiley:

I did a complete clean install btw!. I completely wiped both root and home partitions and formatted to EXT4. :smiley:

24 hours later, the only problem(s) I have had was with an older version of Google Earth version 6, it won’t install due to dependency problems and I was forced to download the newer version, ver 7 which sucks because it doesn’t show any photos when you click on them, this is an old problem with ver 7 which hasn’t been fixed!. (Not related to Ubuntu!).
The screenlets manager starts with the system but the Clearweather screenlet doesn’t, when I click on the screenlets manager in the panel and “Launch screenlet”, it starts no problem?. (Not a deal breaker!).

Everything else is up and running no problem!. :smiley:

Ok, I have tested it as you asked. Created several reposrts:)

I solved my small niggling problems by installing the 32 bit version, it is fully updated and all my apps installed, everything is running fine:

HP Compaq Presario, AMD Athlon II CPU, Nvidia GeForce GT 430 1GB and 4GB RAM!. :smiley:

@meequz and @gravy45 Many thanks for so diligently testing Ubuntu MATE 15.04. Really, thank you. Great job.

New release candidate images will be made for all the flavours later tonight, I got several bug fixes included. So please do test the next builds when they get published :slight_smile:
