I also update all base packages.
I'm having the same problem with Caja on 64 bit after today's update. It's constantly crashing. I'm using Thunar as a temporary replacement. It seems fine.

Is there anything you are doing in particular for Caja to crash.... only mine seems solid at the moment?

Okay after a reboot my Caja is also crashing as soon as I select a directory to enter with a double click.

Quick workaround for the caja file manager crashing in 64bit version.
download old version from my server...

http://germ.winpe.com/fileman/mate-file … pkg.tar.xz

install with...
pacman -U mate-file-manager-2011.9.26-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

restart the desktop and it will be okay until Perberos gets it sorted, it will take the pressure off as well.

Hope this helps.

Clive

NOTE:
I can confirm that the 32bit version does not appear to have a problem.

I will check that.

ADDED:
I tested the precompiled, and work well.
But I tryied to compile mate-file-manager-2011.9.26-1-x86_64 and had same problems.

I removed mate-file-manager-2011.10.29-1-x86_64 from the repo.

Hi

It will be nice if you find a second hoster/mirror for your files because 50 kbytes are to slow

Installing the latest updates, a bunch are being pulled in from AUR....does caja-sendto really need to be a dependency for caja-open-terminal?

I have changed the Caja file manager in the 64bit repo and updated it as of 09:22GMT 30th October 2011.

It should be all okay now.

I have a problem with the menu. LXDE and I have a mate - arch and I have a problem with double entries in a mate and lxde. I suspect that this is associated with the files that relate to the desktop environment. Just as I do now that in one and the second was normlane menu - no duplicate items?

I open a ticket https://github.com/Perberos/Mate-Deskto … /issues/31

mate-file-manager was fixed adding --enable-static
report if crash still happens with mate-file-manager-2011.10.29-2-x86_64

Thanks. That fixed it.

Hi Perberos,

Mate-file-manager still crashes in the same way, I just updated the repo with the new version, looks like I will have to undo the update.

Please let me know when you think it is fixed, I will check it right away.

Thanks.

Looks like something may be wrong, it has been upgraded and downgraded a few times and I think it is in a bit of a mess... I will sort it out and report back here when it is done.

are you using 32 or 64 bit?

im using 64 bit.

clpc · 2011-10-31 11:17:53

Okay I am doing 64 bit first.

I am uploading the whole lot again as the repo got into a bit of a mess over the weekend.

Sorry for the delay but I will get it done as fast as I can.

totex71 · 2011-10-31 11:19:22

It was the first thing I just uploaded... ha ha

EDIT: 13:37GMT 31st October 2011
completely reloaded all files into the 32 & 64 bit repos on germ.winpe.com as things had got a bit messy.
Sorry for any problems this may have caused users.

Looks like someone is setting up an Ubuntu launchpad PPA. This is great!

It's coming along slowly, but I'm getting there. Exams and assignments are getting in the way .

AxeZn · 2011-11-01 16:48:23

Mhm. Despite the fix two days ago I still am having G_CONST errors (I upgraded after the first fail, I probably should recompile the whole mate-desktop-environment suite?).

Arch 3.0 x86 AMD. fluxbox + Gnome3

Perberos · 2011-11-03 11:49:24

tellme where, maybe there is something I forget

feldhaser · 2011-11-05 08:37:37

hi
i really like mate, thanks a lot!
i am running arch 64bit and mate runs great!
i had some trouble installing mate-applets (mate-applets and mate-character-map weren't found in the repositories), solved that by installing manually though, i don't know if that problem still persists.
another issue i ran into was that some applications like chromium or a certain screenlet used the script/command xdg-open, which led to firefox being the standard file browser for them. there is no entry in xdg-open for mate as there is for kde or gnome. i don't know what the best solution would be, installing the package perl-file-mimeinfo did it for me though.
just thought i'd point that out, maybe someone else is having the same problems
thanks for keeping this desktop environment alive, cheers!

/edit:
i only now realized that mate is already in the aur, that probably solves the mate-applets issue i had.

Hey. I've got several questions:

1. Are the Mint guys helping? (Seeing as they are considering including MATE in Mint 12.) Any other support for MATE?
2. Are there plans to improve on GNOME 2 in any way, or is this simply an effort to make it work side by side with GNOME 3 libs and fix bugs?
3. Are there plans to migrate to GTK 3?
4. Will there be 6-month releases, a release whenever it's ready cycle, or is this a rolling project?

Perberos · 2011-11-05 20:04:34

1. yes
2. I can not answer that question
3. I am porting it slowly, but it's not a priority. Gtk is just a toolkit.
4. rolling release

xdg problem was reported here https://github.com/Perberos/Mate-Deskto … /issues/15
