After installing Mate Desktop sudo apt-get install ubuntu-mate-core ubuntu-mate-desktop I got some errors so I run sudo apt-get -f install but I got these errors:

tomsk@tomsk-VirtualBox:~$ sudo apt-get -f install

  • Thanks and why is it happening? I had similar problems when I was installing KDE – tomsk Feb 25 '17 at 18:50
  • Jumping straight to 'force' commands without trying to solve the problem seems unwise without more explanation. account-plugin-google conflicts with kde-config-telepathy-accounts. If you are not using one of those, then uninstall it...which will solve the problem. – user535733 Feb 25 '17 at 19:51
  • i know this not an answer but i suggest you to install clean Ubuntu mate.there is a reason why every distro lunches the separate version for separate desktop environment –  May 27 '17 at 13:39
