Installed 18.04 Beta to try it and Welcome can’t be launched
Another way to do it then by the menu Icon ?

Thanks

Good luck Watford. You might also try seeing if your shasums match.

Hi Watford,

I had the same problem, I ran updates and it fixed it!:

Ubuntu Mate Update Guide :smiley:

What’s the error when you run them via the terminal?

ubuntu-mate-welcome
software-boutique

I reinstalled from the ISO to the USB for a re-install.
Welcome and software boutique do not launch while calling them from the USB itself.
Normal ? Maybe this is what is replicated on the install ?

If I recall the 17.10 Welcome was available when using the USB…
Or do I miss something basic ?

I did the following in terminal:
rene@rene-desktop:~$ ubuntu-mate-welcome

Command ‘ubuntu-mate-welcome’ not found, but can be installed as:

sudo snap install ubuntu-mate-welcome

rene@rene-desktop:~$ sudo snap install ubuntu-mate-welcome
[sudo] wachtwoord voor rene:

   If you understand and want to proceed repeat the command including

rene@rene-desktop:~$ sudo snap install ubuntu-mate-welcome --classic
ubuntu-mate-welcome 17.10.16-e5080a8 from ‘flexiondotorg’ installed

Now Welcome is working fine
