anybody able to help me out here? http://micro.fragdev.com/url/56556 #Debian #Mate #Linux

@kevie I've run into similar when a theme is no longer supported. Do you have a custom theme in? If so you might have to look for a 1.8 version if one is even out yet.
-
@nybill my theme is custom, but I can't even start up another one as the mate settings don't do anything :'( its as if it is being controlled by another environment/window manager (but I don't have any installed)
-
@kevie Hmm.. can you boot to a command line and install another DE to diagnose things? This system has Cinnamon. But, I keep XFCE and Gnome3 on it as well.
-
@kevie Another thought, you may be able to add a command to GRUB live to force the video mode. You might get Cinnamon to boot to a fall back mode. (then remove theme/set default and reboot.)
-
@nybill OK, thanks for the tip, I installed XFCE4, this created an unholy monster that I had to not look at directly (Medusa desktop) taking a mix of the Mate and XFCE settings. I then uninstalled XFCE4 and ran 'apt-get autoremove --purge' and this appears to have fixed my problem. \o/

@kevie Ah nice! This is like our online LUG. :D

@kevie Settings manager isn't a magickal thing that can conflict, it's an application which do some things like setting keyboard settings, being a xsettings provider, etc., etc.… But no, I don't know why is it not working. And theme will not apply because mate-settings-daemon is a thing which makes xsettings and xsettings is a thing which says to Gtk applications which Gtk theme and icon theme (and some other stuff like fonts) to use.
