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

[strypey]

In installed mate-desktop using apt-get install. I checked in synaptic, and a  
number of mate-related packages are now marked as installed (although some  
optional looking ones like themes etc are not). Is this all I need to do?

If so, this wiki page needs updating, to remove the instructions to add the  
unnecessary PPAs:

When I reboot, I can't see how to login using Mate instead of GNOME. Any  
suggestions?
