No Mate layouts?

  • 772

I have Ubuntu Server 18.04.2 LTS installed, with the Mate Desktop (not Ubuntu: Mate Edition, keep in mind)

and i cant choose ANY mate layouts in the Mate-Tweaks applet. the only available one is Gnome2

in the layouts folder it has all the themes and layouts that mate ships with, how can i select these if they arent showing in the control panel?

server themes layout mate 18.04

  1. The MATE Tweak looks for panel layouts into the /usr/share/mate-panel/layouts/ directory.

    The search on clean Ubuntu MATE 18.04 LTS gives the following packages:

    $ dpkg -S /usr/share/mate-panel/layouts/
ubuntu-mate-default-settings, mate-panel: /usr/share/mate-panel/layouts

    So you need to have installed two packages:

    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-mate-default-settings mate-panel

    but to have more reproducible results I can recommend to install ubuntu-mate-desktop task with:

    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-mate-desktop^

    and then reboot.
