[OpenIndiana-discuss] Before Installing Mate

[russell]

Hi,

After updating the Nvidia driver to 375.26 I rebooted and then returned 
to the Mate BE again the LightDM failed to start, so after a root login 
and running "lightdm" I now have a working Mate desktop which will not 
automatically start yet.

Regards

Russell
