Cinnamon Desktop Environment

Cinnamon is a desktop environment for X.org.

Known issues: Some apps/features fail to startup in Cinnamon currently. This appears to happen when a mix of python 2/3 modules are installed and it gets confused about what it's using.

Tested on 2.0-CURRENT. Works as root user, and some other users. If you previously had setup xfce, some of the apps try to run in the user account and can cause issues.

Enabling Cinnamon Install from packages with mport install cinnamon

Install from mports with cd /usr/mports/x11/cinnamon; make install clean

Starting Cinnamon manually Modify ~/.xinitrc and add

3D version exec cinnamon-session

2D version (software render) (use if you have to run on VESA/SCFB, xf86-video-intel or without acceleration.) cinnamon-session-cinnamon2d

Post Install Setup Restart Cinnamon nohup cinnamon --replace > /dev/null 2>&1 &

Setting the number of workspaces gsettings set org.cinnamon.desktop.wm.preferences num-workspaces 4

Why does fallback mode not work? In order for fallback to be useful, metacity and gnome-shell must be installed.
