Lubuntu + MATE? Compatible? or issues?

[Nio Wiklund]

Hi again Fritz,

I think it is a good idea to stay with the LTS versions.

Maybe you can try to find out if staying with 14.04.1 (and not upgrade
the hardware enablement stack to 14.04.2) will work better. Do you have
time to find out what package that breaks your system? Is it a kernel
upgrade, or some other package? Is it some program package in the mate
meta-package?

Best regards
Nio
