ubuntu12server_mate.textile

Starting with a clean Ubuntu Server 12.04…

MATE (from http://www.noob2geek.com/linux/how-to-install-mate-desktop-environment-in-ubuntu-12-04/)

Install add-apt-repository

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties

Add the repository to the source list:

sudo add-apt-repository “deb http://repo.mate-desktop.org/ubuntu precise main”

Install:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mate-archive-keyring
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mate-core
sudo apt-get install mate-desktop-environment

LightDM (from http://conocimientoadictivo.blogspot.com/2012/06/instalar-lightdm-en-linux-mint-13.html)

Install

sudo apt-get install lightdm-gtk-greeter

Configure

sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

> [SeatDefaults]
> greeter-session=unity-greeter
> user-session=mate

That’s all!

There is an (important) error in the lightdm.conf. greeter-session must belightdm-gtk-greeter, not unity-greeter

Also the repository you mention didn't worked for me, I used:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://packages.mate-desktop.org/repo/ubuntu precise main"
