On my #2 machine (which has been running Gnome3 for a few days; I can do it now, but still don't like it much), I looked around, but couldn't seem to lay my cursor on the proper way to install mate. So I tried "yum install mate," and got nothing. Then I tried "yum install mate*" and got bushels whizzing by. So many and so fast that I begin to suspect I shouldn't've....
Is there something else I should now? "yum install *mate" or "yum install mate-*" or the like? Reboot??
Did you try
yum groupinstall "MATE Desktop" ?

Nope. But I'm running it now. Many thanks!
Is there some way less annoying than google to find such commands? I had a hunch its like might exist, but no clue how to get to it.
yum grouplist will return all the installed, and available groups.

Now I'm on #2. It seems to have done fine, but I did notice one oddity:
Transaction test succeeded Running transaction (shutdown inhibited)
What does that second line mean? And should I placate it by rebooting soonest?
Second PS: I had enough bits and pieces to get a mate panel started yesterday, and pretty well filled out -- but when I got back to the machine today, that panel didn't show up. Then I got :
[btth@localhost ~]$ mate-panel ** Message: Could not connect to session manager: Could not get owner of name 'org.mate.SessionManager': no such name
** (mate-panel:9175): WARNING **: Could not connect to session manager: Could not get owner of name 'org.mate.SessionManager': no such name ^C [btth@localhost ~]$t
What is this "session manager"? Will it be there now?

Pretty sure that this means that yum is making a call to systemd to prevent shutdowns, and reboots from happening while the transaction is taking place.

It should work after you've installed the MATE Desktop group.
