A little off topic.. but.. I haven't tried MATE, but I have the same laptop (T430) and can report that XFCE works very well without major issue ..although I did find that some problems with over-heating and constant fan use resulting in faster battery drain.
Gnome3 didn't perform well on my T430 - had to remove it after just a couple of hours. The performance difference between Gnome3 on OpenBSD and Gnome3 on Debian is like night and day. Anyway, just thought I'd share some stuff I've noticed with having the same machine. > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: MATE Desktop Environment 1.18.0 > Local Time: October 28, 2017 9:33 PM > UTC Time: October 28, 2017 8:33 PM > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > > Hi, > > I'm currently using MATE Desktop with OpenBSD / amd64 6.2 -stable on a > Lenovo ThinkPad T430. > I want to report some errors encountered during its use. > Have you ever encountered these errors and possibly found a solution? > > gnome-keyring-daemon[31733]: couldn't access control socket: > /var/run/user/1000/keyring/control: No such file or directory > gnome-keyring-daemon[31733]: The PKCS#11 component was already initialized > gnome-keyring-daemon[31733]: The Secret Service was already initialized > > console-kit-daemon[49025]: WARNING: Error waiting for native console 1 > activation: Permission denied > console-kit-daemon[49025]: WARNING: Error waiting for native console 2 > activation: Permission denied > console-kit-daemon[49025]: WARNING: Error waiting for native console 3 > activation: Permission denied > console-kit-daemon[49025]: WARNING: Error waiting for native console 4 > activation: Permission denied > > mate-session[53962]: WARNING: Unable to find provider '' of required > component 'dock' > > ** (mate-settings-daemon:59867): WARNING **: Error opening directory > /etc/xrdb: No such file or directory > > [system] Activating service > name='org.mate.SettingsDaemon.DateTimeMechanism' (using servicehelper) > [system] Activated service 'org.mate.SettingsDaemon.DateTimeMechanism' > failed: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1 > > pulseaudio[87536]: [(null)] authkey.c: Failed to open cookie file > '/home/loginname/.config/pulse/cookie': No such file or directory > pulseaudio[87536]: [(null)] authkey.c: Failed to load authentication key > '/home/loginname/.config/pulse/cookie': No such file or directory > pulseaudio[87536]: [(null)] authkey.c: Failed to open cookie file > /home/loginname/.pulse-cookie': No such file or directory > pulseaudio[87356]: [(null)] authkey.c: Failed to load authentication key > '/home/loginname/.pulse-cookie': No such or directory > > pulseaudio[87536]: [(null)] core-util.c: Failed to create secure directory > (/var/run/user/1000/pulse): No such file or directory > > DEBUG (42951): glibtop_open_p () > LibGTop-Server(c=42951): [ERROR] kvm_open: Operation not permitted > glibtop(c=57092/s=42951): [ERROR] read 8 bytes: Resource temporarily > unavailable > > (marco:5367): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'marco' received an X Window > System error. > This probably reflets a bug in the program. > The error was 'BadRegion (invalid Region parameter)'. > (Details: serial 116413 error_code 140 request_code 138 (XFIXES) > minor_code 10) > > Thank you for your help. > > - Olivier Regnier
