"apt-get install mate-desktop-environment-core" does not
install marco,
xorg, xterm, nor lightdm. My brute force diagnostic procedure
was to install
each of them in the order listed with a reboot in between to
see if
everything worked. It did not. After installing each of the
1st three I was
left at the command line. After installing lightdm I was
presented with a
blank screen.
mate-desktop-environment-core depends on marco. There is something
seriously wrong if it was not installed.
Huumm I see another test install in my future as it is listed as
such in the packages file for the DVD I installed from.
