Нізкія сістэмныя патрабаванні
Pearl MATE добра працуе як на моцных, гэтак і на слабых кампютарах. Яна зроблена функцыянальнай і непатрабавальнай.
Мінімальныя
- Pentium M 1.0 гігагерц (ГГц)
- 1 гігабайт (ГБ) RAM
- 9 гігабайтаў (ГБ) дыскавай прасторы
Рэкамендаваныя
- Core 2 Duo 1.6 гігагерц (ГГц)
- 4 gigabytes (GB) of RAM
- 16 гігабайтаў (ГБ) дыскавай прасторы
Аперацыйная сістэма будзе працаваць эфектыўней, калі характарыстыкі вашага кампютара дасягаюць або перавышаюць рэкамендаваныя.
Рыхтуемся ўсталяваць
Pearl MATE адносна простая ў наладжванні, няважна, збіраецеся вы замяніць існую аперацыйную сістэму або карыстацца абедзвюма. Напрыклад Microsoft Windows ці іншай Дыстрыбутывам GNU/Linux
Для лепшых вынікаў:
- Захавайце усю важную інфармацыю на іншую запамінальную прыладу.
- Падлучыцеся да Сеціва, каб усталяваць усе даступныя абнаўленні падчас усталявання.
- Заставайцеся падлучанымі да сеткі інтэрнэт, каб ўсталяваць усе даступныя абнаўлення.
- Калі ваша прылада сілкуецца ад батарэі, падлучыце яе да электрасеткі.

Жывая сэсія прадстаўляе вам магчымасць выпрабаваць Pearl MATE без зменаў на вашым кампютары, што дазваляе выпрабаваць перыферыйныя прылады да яе ўсталявання. Калі будзеце гатовы, двойчы пстрыкніце іконку ўсталявання на працоўным стале.
Сучасныя кампютары з UEFI
Калі ў вас сучасны кампютар з Unified Extended Firmware Interface (UEFI), вам можа спатрэбіцца адключыць Secure Boot (або ўключыць Unlock Bootloader ) у BIOS да ўсталявання асобна, калі аперацыйная сістэма перадусталяваная.
Калі вы карыстаецеся звычайным BIOS, няма патрэбы рабіць гэта.
Асабліва калі вы карыстаецеся дзвюма аперацыйнымі сістэмамі, важна загрузіць вашую сістэму правільна і ўжываць 64-бітную выяву,бо вы не зможаце загрузіць аперацыйную сістэму, усталяваную ў рэжыме BIOS пасля ўсталявання UEFI-enabled сістэмы і наадварот.
Booting in BIOS mode on a UEFI system with a GPT-formatted disk will also show a "protection layer". Не турбуйцеся, вашыя дадзеныя не страчаныя!
Мяняць
For computers that start to run low on memory (RAM), the operating system will start swapping content from memory to the hard disk. This is known as a "paging file" in Windows. Performance will decrease when running low on memory and could possibly freeze if you completely run out of memory without anywhere to swap.
By default, a swap partition is created based on the size of your RAM. For example, if you have 2 GiB of RAM, then 2 GiB of hard disk space will be reserved for swap at the end of the drive.
Swap space that's the size of your RAM is also required if you would like to hibernate the system (as known as suspending to disk).
Падвойная загрузка
Should you wish to install Pearl MATE alongside your existing operating system, your partitions need to be shrunk. This results in sections of your hard disk being split between multiple operating systems.
To minimize the risk of data loss or failure, ensure that:
- There is enough free space. 10 GB minimum is recommended.
- Захавайце important data to another drive.
- Defragment the hard drive.
- Ensure Windows has been cleanly shut down (not hibernated).
Which approach would you prefer?
The simplest method is to use the installer.
The installer scans your disks for existing operating systems and provides a choice on what you'd like to do.
You will see an option similar to this:
![]()
Followed by:
![]()
Do not interrupt or power off the computer during a resize operation.
If you do, data loss or a partition table corruption could occur. Please double check your changes before proceeding.
The installer may show a spinner cursor for a long period of time, depending on the size of your disk.
When you next boot Windows, run
chkdsk /f
from the command prompt to check the file system for errors. Windows may schedule this automatically. This ensures consistency for the NTFS file system.
Use GParted or the installer's "Custom" option.
GParted is available during the live session only.
It is located under the System
Administration menu. GParted provides complete flexibility over your partitions, primarily for power users who know how they'd like to layout their disks. This method makes changes to partitions prior to installation.
After completing operations to your disk, you can leave the remaining space unallocated, whereby the installer will detect this unused space to install Pearl MATE to.
Using the Installer's "Custom" option.
Instead or in addition to GParted, the Custom option during the installation wizard can also configure and resize your partitions as well as choose mount points. Dividing your disks can make it somewhat easier to re-install the operating system later if desired.
You can specify these mount points:
/
- The base for Pearl MATE/boot
- Bootloader and kernels/home
- Your personal files and folders/tmp
- Часовыя файлы/usr
- Contains most of the applications (binaries, documentation, libraries, etc)/var
- Variable data (such as system logs)/srv
- Data for System Services (typically used for server configurations)/opt
- Additional software unmanaged by the package manager (such asSpotify)
Creating separate partitions for all above mount points is not necessary.
The commonly partitioned directories being /
, /home
і /boot
. These mount points can also be set across different
physical disks, for instance, if you'd like the OS /
on an SSD,
but your personal files /home
on a mechanical hard drive.
Shrink your system disk within Windows.
Applies to Windows Vista and later.
If you are using Windows XP or earlier, you will need to use the Просты або Advanced method to shrink your disk.
Newer versions of Windows provide a tool to shrink the NTFS volume from within Windows. This is a safer bet if it's essential that Windows still boots on your computer while experiencing Pearl MATE.
1. Адчыніць Disk Management from the start menu.![]()
2. Right click your desired drive and choose Shrink Partition from the context menu.![]()
3. Enter the amount to shrink your system partition by.![]()
Remember, Pearl MATE needs at minimum 8 GB of disk space. 1 GB = 1000 MB

For further information on the best practices to modify partitions containing Windows, see the following online.
Ліквідацыя праблем загрузкі
Linux distributions use a boot loader known asgrub
,
which looks for and bootstraps the operating system. However, some operating systems (such as Windows) do not integrate with existing boot loaders and will overwrite them, with the potential to lose access to Pearl MATE temporally.
Fortunately, you can use the Boot Repair tool to repair common problems caused by other operating systems.

Драйверы
While a wide range of hardware is compatible with Pearl MATE, there are some components and peripherals that require proprietary drivers to function properly. Installing the firmware package is often required to get some devices, typically Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, to work correctly.
An Internet connection is required to download and install drivers.
Дадатковыя драйверы can be found later in the Цэнтр кіравання.

Proprietary or Open Source Drivers?
Proprietary drivers come directly from the manufacturer. As they are not open source, Pearl developers are unable to review and improve their code, which means that you'll have to rely on the manufacturer for support.
In addition, proprietary drivers can significantly improve graphics performance and as a result, the entire system. Users may wish to install these drivers to:
- Run 3D applications and games.
- Use Compiz's window effects.
- Improve power management, particularly if the device experiences overheating problems under open source drivers.
- Improve support for high resolutions and multiple monitors.
- Fix blank screen issues.
Proprietary drivers are known as "binary blobs". Certain hardware may experience worse behavior, causing more issues then the open source drivers, such as:
- Failing to boot to the graphical desktop.
- Broken drivers after an upgrade.
- Severe graphical glitches.
- Problems with applications/games requiring hardware acceleration.
is the open source driver for your card.
What about the latest NVIDIA drivers?
Дадатковыя драйверы fetches the latest tested driver from the Pearl repositories.
If there were no additional drivers found for the hardware nor did it work after installing the firmware packages, you may need to research your device to find the appropriate driver.
Unfortunately, this is due to the fact the manufacturer for your hardware hasn't provided any source code for developers to freely use, or there is insufficient documentation to create drivers for your particular brand and model.
Some manufacturers may provide closed source drivers provided by themselves directly. If you require assistance, feel free to .
When you set up a printer in the службовая праграмы (under System Administration), you will be presented with a list of drivers available to use, if applicable.
Some manufacturers may provide their own drivers and require you to download them from their website.
