Opening PlasmaC Axis Config in Maximised Form

What is the easiest way to install the mate desktop environment?

Go to Administration - Synaptic Package Manager then search for mate-desktop-environment

Ill give it a go tomorrow and Ill let you know.

No worries.

After installing it and logging out it will show a login window. To the right of your name there is an icon, click on that and select the Mate desktop then login. It should remember next time.

You will need to set everything up how you like as it will start with their defaults.

This issue is now fixed in LinuxCNC 2.9 (master branch).
