I installed Ubuntu Mate on an Odroid XU4 to test how the thing works.

The default user is odroid with a password of odroid. Not too secure.

So I added myself as an admin. a home directory was created, but "desktop" is an empty folder/directory. On reboot, I get a black screen with a cursor that moves fine, but no desktop.

Is this a Mate thing?

Bah! Premature senior moment.

Had to choose the session type.

Move along. Just wandering around the neighborhood in my boxer shorts and black socks.

Did you see my car keys in your wanderings?

Ha! Oh, that you, is it? I'll put away the blunderbuss in that case (was only gonna give a warning shot)! :D
