Welcome missing after recent updates

Development Discussion

Hi all,

if Welcome is missing after recent updates to 18.04, the fix is to copy and paste the following command into a terminal as it appears to be a “Snap” app now?:

snap install ubuntu-mate-welcome --classic

Restart after doing so or log out and back in!. :smiley:

Hi wolfman

I have not yet installed the welcome center, guess its time for me to do so.

I noticed its in synaptics as ubuntu-mate-welcome, but no --classic option.

What is this --classic option?

Hi @m1804,

I really don’t know, I assume it is the standard version that has been used in the last few versions of UM but cannot say for sure?. :smiley:

All I know is that it is up and running in 18.04 now. :smiley:

Have marked as solved so it draws peoples attention to the fix should they have the same problem!. :smiley:

I found it didn’t work in time Beta 1 came out, but just tested today and with all the latest updates is back and working, same for Software Boutique. Also last few daily realises have that fixed already.
