Requisitos do Sistema Modestos
O Pearl MATE funciona bem em computadores lentos ou de topo de gama, otimizado para ser funcional, enquanto muito leve no consumo de recursos do sistema.
Mínimo
- Pentium M 1.0 gigahertz (GHz)
- 1 gigabyte (GB) de RAM
- 9 gigabytes (GB) de espaço no disco rígido
Recomendado
- Core 2 Duo 1.6 gigahertz (GHz)
- 4 gigabytes (GB) of RAM
- 16 gigabytes (GB) de espaço no disco
O sistema operativo irá funcionar de uma forma muito mais eficiente se o seu computador estiver ao nível ou superar os requisitos recomendados.
A preparar para Instalar
O Pearl MATE é relativamente simples de configurar, quer você procure substituir o seu sistema operativo ou instalar o Pearl MATE em conjunto com um sistema já existente - assim como Microsoft Windows ou outro distribuição de GNU/Linux.
Para obter os melhores resultados:
- Crie uma cópia de segurança de quaisquer dados importantes para outro dispositivo de armazenagem.
- Ligue à Internet para instalar todas as atualizações disponíveis durante a instalação.
- Mantenha-se ligado à Internet para instalar todas as atualizações disponíveis.
- Ligue o seu dispositivo à corrente eléctrica se estiver a funcionar só com a bateria.

The live session you are currently in right now is a good opportunity to test Pearl MATE without modifying your computer, allowing you to test that all of your peripherals are working as intended before committing to installing it on your machine. Once you are ready, double click the installation icon on the desktop.
Computadores modernos baseados em UEFI
If you have a modern PC that uses the Unified Extended Firmware Interface (UEFI), you may need to disable Arranque Seguro (ou ative o Unlock Bootloader option) in the BIOS prior to installation, particularly if an operating system was pre-installed.
If you are using a legacy BIOS machine, you do not need to do this.
Especially when dual booting, it is important that you boot your system in the correct mode and use the Imagem 64 bits, as you cannot boot an operating system installed in BIOS mode after installing a UEFI-enabled operating system or vice versa.
Booting in BIOS mode on a UEFI system with a GPT-formatted disk will also show a "protection layer". Não se preocupe. os seus dados não estão perdidos ou corrompidos!
Troca
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).
Dual Arranque
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.
- Crie uma cópia de segurança important data to another drive.
- Defragment the hard drive.
- Ensure Windows has been cleanly shut down (not hibernated).
Which approach would you prefer?
O método mais simples é utilizar o instalador.
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:
![]()
Seguido por:
![]()
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 está disponível apenas durante a sessão live.
Está localizado no Sistema
Administração 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 Personalizar 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.
Pode especificar os pontos de montagem:
/
- A base para o Pearl MATE/boot
- Bootloader e kernels/home
- Os seus ficheiros e pastas pessoais/tmp
- Ficheiros temporários/usr
- Contém a maioria das aplicações (binários, documentação, bibliotecas, etc)/var
- Dados variáveis (tais como os registo do sistema)/srv
- Dados para os Serviços do Sistema (normalmente utilizado para as configurações de servidor)/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
e /boot
. These mount points can also be set across different
physical disks, for instance, if you'd like the OS /
num SSD.

Shrink your system disk within Windows.
Aplica-se ao Windows Vista e superior
Se estiver a utilizar o Windows XP ou anterior, terá de utilizar o Simples ou Avançado 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. Abrir Gestão de Discos a partir do menu iniciar![]()
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

Reparar Problemas de Arranque
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 Reparar Arranque ferramenta para reparar os problemas comuns causados por outros sistemas operativos.

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:
- Executar aplicações 3D e jogos
- 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.

What about the latest NVIDIA drivers?
Controladores Adicionais 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 .
