Hello, I've done a fresh Jessie install. That went fine with speech, I've got a console distro going that now I'd like to add the mate desktop to and set it up so I can graphically log in. If anyone has this working I'd appreciate some tips as I've been over the mate wiki which doesn't seem to be working. Thanks. Dave.
