Thank you for kind words :slight_smile:

I have tested Ubuntu MATE 19.04 minimal with latest updates and can say that that all previously discovered problems seems to be fixed:

  • LibreOffice icon is removed from minimal install (bug 1813538 is fixed);
  • Deja Dup installs normally from minimal install (bug 1813549 is fixed);
  • Software tab of MATE Welcome is filled with the software. I see all 123 applications from here (including Brave Browser, it is installable now).

The updated MATE Welcome (rev 291) does not want show its contents with virtualbox-guest-x11 (or virtualbox-guest-x11-hwe) installed in guest and 3D Acceleration enabled.
But it works with official VBoxGuestAdditions_5.1.38.iso. I'm not completely sure what is going on here, so we need confirmation from other users.
My VirtualBox 5.1.38 may be too old for this Ubuntu 19.04 release.

I'm ready to test final daily ISO image or beta2 (if any).

I hope that GTK3-related problems will be fixed in 19.10 or maybe in 20.04 LTS :slight_smile:
