Gsettings set show-desktop-icons falseĮDIT: I had previously thought the above was all I needed, but after trying to set it up on a fresh install I was having issues getting awesome to launch. # To disable the desktop icons provided by caja Gsettings reset -components windowmanager # To return to the default window manager (marco) run: Gsettings set -components windowmanager 'awesome' Not what I expected when I opted for "Awesome + Mate" experience.Īfter finding this thread today trying to get something similar set up in Ubuntu MATE 16.04 LTS Beta 2, I found that the following worked for me: When I quit awesome, I'm back at the greeter. Now, when I log off in MATE, I am back in awesome. Firstly, I install MATE on Ubuntu with sudo apt install mate-desktopīut the option to select MATE when clicking at the cog in the greeter doesn't appear until I install sudo apt install mate-session-managerĪs well (should I install something else?) Now, when I do everything above, when I choose "Awesome + Mate" at the greeter cog, the awesome desktop briefly flashes, to be replaced with MATE completely. I am trying to use the part of the tutorial that describes steps for GNOME Look and Feel -> MATE TweaksĪnyway, this still doesn't quite work. I figured MATE desktop is a modern version of GNOME 2, so I am trying to set up Awesome with MATE, but to no effect. A tutorial called Quickly Setting up Awesome with Gnome describes the process of setting up Awesome window manager in such a way as to retain some features and advantages of GNOME.
