More setup in Linux Mint Debian After installing Mate I noticed that I now had some double entries in the menu. At first I wondered why, then I remembered that gnome 3 was installed and one of the double menu entries pointed to a gnoem app and the other one to mate one. I went through the menu and removed the gnome ones to tidy it up.
- Right click the menu
- select edit menu
- select a category on the left
- look for double entry and right click one.
- select preferences (this will show you the app)
- if it says mate-(app command) then you know that is the mate entry
- if it does not check the other entry
- if neither say mate-(app name) then open synaptic and and look up the app command. it will tell you under the description if it is a mate or gnome app
- un-select the gnome app
This may take some time but it will tidy up the menu for you. If you don’t intend to be suing gnome 3 then you may also want to delete the gnome apps.
Note: if you also have cinnamon installed you might have entries for cinnamon in the mate menu in addition to the gnome and mate ones.
