What works?

People tell us that Ubuntu MATE is stable. You may, or may not, agree.

What changed since the release candidate?

This release has fixed a few minor issues and tweaked a couple things.

  • Full disk encryption, or rather entering your pass phrase into Plymouth, was properly fixed by the Ubuntu team.
  • Fixed missing configuration options in the workspace switcher applet LP #1382682
  • Fixed the live session not auto-logging into the MATE desktop.
  • Added a background wall paper to Ubiquity.
