The whole installed OS is 1.5 GB - although it could possibly be slimmed down further, I tried taking out the packages installed by wine-dep. Since Mate is basically a fork of Gnome, would there be something available like the following command (subbing Gnome with Mate as an example)? sudo apt-get install xorg mate-core mate-media mate-system-monitor mate-applets mate-system-tools mate-utils mate-app-install sysv-rc-conf gdmĪlso, in the link, it explains to disable gdm for runlevels 2 & 3 by invoking sudo sysv-rc-confĬould this also work for Mate if I don’t want it to automatically launch at boot? When you need the desktop, you just invoke the command - startx In this link - it walks you through to install a very minimal Gnome install and then set it so that it doesn’t automatically load the desktop at startup. The ability to install things like Ubuntu Tweak and gparted is all I really need.

So no ability at this point to just perform a sudo apt-get install command to install a minimal install of Mate? (no need for LibreOffice, ThunderBird, Rhythmbox, etc). That oughta keep you busy for a while, i remember when i first started using linux, i kept getting told to search with google but it took me a while to figure out what to search for, since the youngsters had been busy making up new terms while i was off doing work with the old ones, LOL. Ubuntu-MATE is ubuntu-derived and ubuntu is debian-derived so jessie (i think it’s still in LTS) is like the upstream of um-16.04, or maybe i have my numbers crossed.Īh, here is some connecting information, systemd does everything in “units” apparently, What i found is this, which might be just what you want to know, So let’s see what i can find with “linux systemd lightdm” (because lightdm is the desktop manager in use).

So knowing that Ubuntu-MATE runs systemd, all you have to do is grep around a little bit for whatever naming convention they used, which they should at least have hinted at in the doc.

And a couple clues about what to look for, which not always obvious. Google is your friend… and i’m not saying that as a rebuke, i’m saying that this stuff is so spread out that you need some kind of map to find most anything.

#Mate system monitor linux code#

Finding the code that starts the desktop is probably going to lead straight to systemd, which i think stuffs all its parameterizing into a single directory, or something, anyway no matter how much i gripe about systemd they did write some doc for it.
