hey,
a little different question: How do you use the improvements you made to cinnamon on an older release. I did a 'aptitude full-upgrade' and installed cinnamon-desktop-enviroment, but it doesn't start properly.
Can i remove ALL configuration concerning cinnamon, to start with a fresh cinnamon with standard config without completely reinstalling?
thanks!
Hello toggler,
I have split off your question from the original thread as it is completely offtopic from the properties of the development release.
We didn't install the "fat" metapackage cinnamon-desktop-environment (which pulls lots of gnome stuff), but we took selected dependencies and recommends of the rather small metapackage cinnamon-core.
The siduction look and feel for the development state "paintitblack" is packaged in our "next" repo
(somthing like "deb http://packages.siduction.org/base/ next main")
$ dpkg -l | grep paintitblack

There is a nice shortcut to add theese packages, but i have to ask convbsd about it.

hello musca,
thanks for moving the post!
in fact it's not "something like", but exactly "deb http://packages.siduction.org/base/ (http://packages.siduction.org/base/) next main"
I had hoped that the siduction-settings-cinnamon-paintitblack package might get cinnamon to run, but unfortunately it doesn't... I guess I'll have to debug cinnamon, which I'm not very keen to do ;-)
Gnome has stoped working a long time ago. The only desktop-environment that's running right now is i3 - which I am VERY happy with. However in some situations it's nice to have something more intuitive.
Whatever.
Thanks alot!

In this post about LXQT (http://forum.siduction.org/index.php?topic=5110.msg42056#msg42056) convbsd used the (part of siduction-scripts) command
addpkg $flavour . So maybe with
addpkg cinnamon
all the needed stuff and configs for a working siduction cinnamon gets installed?
And when you write "it doesn't start properly" perhaps it is not cinnamon but some other stuff (graphics driver, Xorg, pam,...). So when addpkg does not help please come back with more specific information what does not work, probably links to some logs and infos 'bout your system ;).
addpkg cinnamon doesn't add any packages. It might have changed some links for libraries (glib-libraries, maybe?)
Cinnamon _has_ worked before. I can't remember when it stopped working. When I log in from lightdm or slim the login-screen disappears but I only continue to see the background of the login-manager.
It sounds like cinnamon is searching HDD and CD-Drive but on the screen nothing happens.
Sure, it might be a graphical issue. I don't have a xorg.conf.

Do you want to continue? [Y/n] I think the problem is you already have it installed by using
cinnamon-desktop-enviromentLike said above by musca, it installs a lot of gnome stuff, that could* be whats screwing things up
'aptitude full-upgrade' * could also have something to do with it.
6.2.3. System Upgrade (debian manual)
apt-get is slightly more demanding than aptitude
because it will refuse to install packages which were not installed beforehand.
I myself am not a fan of aptitude , but if you know how to use it correctly, should not create harm, OTOH can be dangerous in sid.
