The fix should get released as update for 13.2 as well in the near future (together with a complete update to Plasma 5.1.2), but I cannot tell how long this will still take.
The update is available in the update-test repo though: http://download.opensuse.org/update/13.2-test/
wolfi323 your packages are for Tumbleweed. Would it be right to install it on my 13.2 system. Meanwhile the workaround works.
I commented out #/usr/lib64/libexec/ksyncdbusenv in /usr/bin/startkde
Yes.
Sorry, I misread your original post a bit at first.
I understood you meant that Plasma5 worked fine, but since installing MATE you get that error.
I noticed later on that actually KDE_4_ was working fine, but then it was too late to edit my post…
seeing how caja provides mate’s desktop, when logging into mate you’ll get infinite windows, the fix would be not commenting out resources but using a theme/visual style that has all of them.
on a 32 bit openSUSE 13.2 there’s a few components of adwaita missing (gtk+2 window border) this causes caja to crash wich in turn stops the mate desktop from loading.
Can someone with Mate installed check and see if the adwaita theme is complete (you can use Mate’s settings app) how do you check for missing gtk+2 resources?
About the main manu the gnome menu works but there is a another one for mate:
sudo zypper in caja-gnome-main-menu
how-to get mate up and working without pulling your hair
remove caja
logg into mate, use the theme selector (I don’t know the apps name it’s in the menu) and select a different theme (wallpaper too as that crashes caja if it’s missing)
install caja
mate should run
