Mate tweak where is it?

Edward78

I installed it, can't find it in the menu?

just

Menu --> Preferences --> MATE Tweak
Menu --> Control Center --> Look and Feel --> MATE Tweak
Terminal --> mate-tweak [Enter]
Run application Alt+F2 --> mate-tweak [Enter]

Edward78

Found in Control centre , thanks, does nothing on click though.

just

Try

sudo eopkg install --reinstall mate-tweak

Edward78

just sudo eopkg install --reinstall mate-tweak
No go.

just

Start mate-tweak in terminal and analyse returned error messages, if any.

Edward78

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/mate-tweak", line 22, in <module>
import distro
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distro'

just

Edward78 ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distro'

Though I don't remember exactly, it seems to be python-related error. Something is wrong with python on your side. I don't have a ready-to-use recipe to solve the issue.

Edward78 try
sudo eopkg it python-distro

Edward78 Check eopkg history eopkg hs. How exactly did you remove python-distro?

Edward78

kyrios sudo eopkg it python-distro
he following package(s) are already installed and are not going to be installed again:
python-distro
No packages to install. Is what I get,

just

Edward78

sudo eopkg install--reinstallpython-distro

Edward78

Program terminated.
Unrecognized command: install--reinstall python-distro
So I did it in Software centre, Mate Tweak still won't go.

just

Edward78

There should be a [space] character between install and double-dash in --reinstall literals. There's no [space] char in your command.

python-distro package name should be also separated by [space] from preceding it --reinstall literal.

Either type in the command by hand, respecting eopkg syntax, or copy-paste this string:

sudo eopkg install --reinstall python-distro

Edward78

just sudo eopkg install --reinstall python-distro
Cool, thanks, got it.

What is gi, I found git in software centre, no gi,

Edward78 please open a task for this on the Dev Tracker so I won't forget to have a look at this.

kyrios Both items that they've mentioned are explicit rundeps.

kyrios

I just tested on a couple of computers and it's working fine, so it's not a problem with the package.

@Edward78 is your system fully up-to-date sudo eopkg up -y ?
Have you installed some python packages using pip3 ?

Edward78

The full sys update did itm,so no dev tracker needed, Maybe have the software cetre get dependencies too.

kyrios

Edward78 The dependencies are fine. Keep in mind that Solus has a rolling release model meaning it is constantly updated (usually every Friday) and you must update your system regularely to keep it healthy and secure.

If you don't like updating often, you'd better go for a fixed point release distribution, but even then updates are still required to keep your system secure,
