Was looking around the other day, was thinking about trying unity and mate out.
Figured I should be able to install int since mint is sort of ubuntu...
Used the 2 lines of code in this guide.
http://gamblisfx.com/how-to-install-ubu ... x-mint-17/
Can log out, can log in to cinnamon, can't log into unity. Just get a black screen and mouse arrow.
Anything?
If this isn't gonna work, I'm not gonna search for code to install mate.
Thanks
Pretty sure I installed Unity, but it won't load.

It was the only one that seemed correct... The others I found were even older...

Question 2 - Only need one terminal command:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install mint-meta-mate

So,
Also not working with MATE
Again, I just get a black screen and pointer when I try to switch session.
Don't even get to log in..

Re: Pretty sure I installed Unity, but it won't load.
Little update,
Switched the login theme from the one I was using (FreeSansGrrl GDM) to the base GTK.
I can get into mate, no problem. Still can't get into unity.. anyone know what I need to do to fix this?

Re: Pretty sure I installed Unity, but it won't load.
Just my two cents but I thought Unity did not play well with Cinnamon because it uses compiz and compiz conflicts with Cinnamon. I have never tried adding Unity to the mix though.
