This still needs "LightDM" to work with this for Noble. That is the default DM for Mate. This is still broken in the Noble Mate Dailys, and is not close yet.

Is there something else you all want us to test, try, or tweak to help get this fixed? We are willing to help, if you direct us in a direction. We have also tried other things to try to get this to work in Mate.

It's not like the Noble 'lightdm' package is completely broken. It works with other flavors, such as (straight-up) Ubuntu. I've installed it on Noble Ubuntu with gnome-sessions, and that works fine, with no errors.

This has something to do with the combination of LightDM and the Noble Mate Desktop image. If I toggle over to a vtty, and give it startx, it brings up the Mate Desktop.
