Fedora 17 + Cinnamon
After playing with Xfce 4.10 for the desktop, it was a good time to give Cinnamon a play and see what is about. So on my netbook running Fedora 17 Beta I yummed Cinnamon from the repo and saw it in its full glory:
Very Apple like but totally useless. Sorry, I am redundant: very Apple like.

Very strange it works perfect on my F17 Beta, I installed yesterday (dvd install, Intel gfx)
ReplyDeletemine was F17 Beta RC installed from Xfce live and then yum updated
DeleteThis is probably related to some API changes in the clutter toolkit embedded in Fedora 17 (as Cinnamon's windows manager relies on it).
ReplyDeleteIf Cinnamon was part of the official Fedora repository, this situation would be probably addressed faster.
I do (pseudo) nightly Cinnamon builds. Would you like to try a slightly more recent Cinnamon version and see if it's been fixed?
ReplyDeleteare they yummable?
DeleteForgot to add. I'm not in Fedora 17 yet. There's a horrible preupgrade bug preventing me from enjoying it :-/
ReplyDeleteVery... Chrome-ish? Google-ish?
ReplyDeleteAny way, Cinnamon sucks :)

ReplyDeleteNicu, that's not a cinnamon message, that's a Fedora message. I got it when I upgraded from F15 to F16. Specifically it's a DM error message that doesn't even tell you what it is. Really annoying and hard to track down
ReplyDeletethen GDM is retarded... no wonder
DeleteI've seen that message in Fedora but, in more than 10 years of using Macs, I've never seen anything that clueless. Even if you totally mess things up and the kernel panics, you get a bit more than that.
ReplyDeletei take you missed my link above: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sad_mac.png, is a classic, part of the computing history
DeleteHuh. I got that same problem today. Did it work in 16?
