Description François Cami 2013-02-05 21:51:17 UTC 
Description of problem:
Launching mate-terminal on a system without mate-desktop installed doesn't work.

$ mate-terminal 

(mate-terminal:5148): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.mate.interface' is not installed

Trace/breakpoint trap
$


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mate-terminal-1.5.0-1.fc18.x86_64


How reproducible: always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora with a non-MATE desktop environment (for instance XFCE)
2. Install mate-terminal
3. Launch mate-terminal
  

Actual results: see afore-mentioned error message.


Expected results: a nice, shiny, slightly dated but much loved terminal application appears :) 


Additional info: installing mate-desktop-1.5.5-1.fc18.x86_64 fixed the problem, because it provides the required XML file:

$ rpm -ql mate-desktop |grep interface
/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.mate.interface.gschema.xml
$

So I think mate-terminal should require mate-desktop. :)
Comment 1 Dan Mashal 2013-02-12 12:35:37 UTC 
Interesting. But if I require mate-desktop then that requires a bunch of other stuff. I'll look into making mate-terminal more of a standalone package, but mate packages were made for mate desktop group. You can install gnome terminal and get practically the same thing. Don't get me wrong, I love mate-terminal but maybe just need to patch this 1 file into it. Will talk to upstream about it.
Comment 2 Dan Mashal 2013-02-16 21:52:26 UTC 
Can't fix this.
Comment 3 François Cami 2013-02-16 22:32:14 UTC 
Dan, you can fix this easily.
I never asked you to make mate-terminal work without mate-terminal.
But mate-terminal SHOULD work if installed via "yum install mate-terminal".
So as stated previously, please add the following line to your .spec:

Requires: mate-desktop
Comment 4 Dan Mashal 2013-02-18 21:49:12 UTC 
Per your request. I thought we had a lot more hard requires in mate-desktop itself, so not really a big deal. Building on koji now.

Comment 12 Christoph Wickert 2013-07-26 18:30:56 UTC 
Please remove the dependency on mate-desktop again, you are forcing people to install half of mate if they only want a certain component. Instead, fix bug 988944. You can then savly drop the dependency as the schemas are part of the gnome-desktop-libs package which is pulled in automatically through the dependency on libmate-desktop-2.

Actually this is wrong, libmate-desktop2 is not pulled in automatically, so you still need to require mate-desktop-libs explicitly. Sorry, my bad.

Comment 19 Michael P. Curran 2014-02-06 03:26:16 UTC 
I can confirm that mate-terminal 1.7.1 still requires the whole of mate-desktop and all of mate-desktop's dependencies.  I have installed mate-common and mate-desktop, and libvte-dev, in order to build the mate-terminal git package.  Now it's stating that I need even more to get it to run.  This seems very excessive for this lite package.  Here is the error I'm getting:

(mate-terminal:24528): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.mate.interface' is not installed

Could you please let me know which package would include this schema so I can download the package and extract the schema file?  I would appreciate it.  I think you have a chance to get a much larger user base due to gnome-terminal no longer supporting a lot of functionalities like transparency, tab completion and others, but a lot of linux users will be hesitant to install mate-terminal along with all its unnecessary dependencies.

Is it possible to just grab the schema files from mate-desktop and force the install of mate-terminal?  This could be a very popular package now since native wm/compositor support in gnome has been dropped.  This will be my next attempt to get the most minimal (working) install of mate-terminal.  Please let me know if you have any suggestions.  I'm not that great at development; so any support/hints would be much appreciated.
