If you love gnome2 you'll be thrilled when you install the gentoo 'mate' |
2 |
overlay. It's like coming home for the holidays and putting on your old |
3 |
fuzzy slippers :) |

I had to work around two minor problems before the whole package would |
6 |
build: |
7 |
|
8 |
1) I had to remove the pulseaudio useflag for mate-setting-daemon: |
9 |
|
10 |
#grep mate /etc/portage/package.use |
11 |
mate-base/mate-settings-daemon -pulseaudio |
12 |
|
13 |
2) The mate package doesn't know about our multi-slot python thing, |
14 |
so the configure script couldn't find <Python.h> |
15 |
|
16 |
This is an embarrassing hack, but you can remove it after installing |
17 |
mate: |
18 |
|
19 |
#cd /usr/include |
20 |
#ln -s python2.7 python [or python3.3 if that's what you use]. |
21 |
|
22 |
I'd suggest removing that symlink after mate is installed because |
23 |
gentoo doesn't do python that way and might get confused in the |
24 |
future. |
25 |
|
26 |
I use startx, so I just put 'exec mate-session' in my .xinitrc, |
27 |
and now I'm sooooo happy :) :) :) |
