Result: Boots to GDM just fine, but Mate is a black screen. Switching
to Gnome, works fine, but I can't stand Gnome. Not knowing what else
to try I restored the dd backup.
This is a known issue, and was mentioned on this list recently. The
problem is that Mate in EPEL needs to be updated to work with CentOS
7.6. Perhaps keep an eye on changes to the EPEL repo before attempting
the upgrade again.
Thanks, Liam, for the info.
Since it IS working on the netbook I'm hoping that means that whatever
needed updating has been updated.
So, I compared the versions on my desktop with those on the netbook, and
find that mate_dictionary, mate-disk-usage-analyzer, mate-screenshot,
mate-search-tool, mate-system-log, mate-system-monitor, mate-utilsk,
mate-utils-common all had a minor version bump. Some from 1.16.1-1 to
1.16.1-2, one from 1.16.0-1 to 1.16.0-2.
I know there are other packages that do not contain "mate" in their names,
but I don't know which they are.
So, do you (or anyone else) happen to know which Mate packages are/were
in need of update?
thanks again, in advance.
Not sure, MATE is working just fine for me, versions range from 1.16.0
to 1.16.3

Some of those obviously are not mate packages, but those are the only
mate packages I do NOT have installed and it is working, so if mate is
not working I wonder if the issue is something other than the packages.
