Re: [Trisquel-users] Can't get Mate to work in my Trisquel (7), can anybody help?

[fredo]

I wasn't able to install cinnamon, and I gave up trying all the desktop  
environment. Installing gnome 3 was enough for me, and it works very good.
I know some people here installed some other DE, but I always had issues.  
Only enlightenment and xfce worked good enough to keep it.

I recommend you should restore a clean system before installing the desired  
DE via the official repos. Everytime I added a PPA I had some issues.
