Does anyone know if Cinnamon 2.2 is avaible in Gentoo.

And if so, can I have this without systemd?

There's Cinnamon 2.0.12 in the sabayon overlay.

As far as I know, you can have Cinnamon without sysd.

I suppose it depends on exactly how much of the gnome tree you are building.

As of Cinnamon 2, it doesn't really "require" anything regarding Gnome 3 anymore. At least that was the Cinnamon teams plan anyway.

That could be, I don't keep up with it.

I just know that it was originally a different shell on top of gnome 3.

If they've managed to separate it from the base gnome 3 more power to them.

This gives you a really good guide to try out Cinnamon 2.0 from the Sabayon overlay.



As far as I know, the devs just haven't gotten around to it yet as they're probably bogged down on Gnome 3.12 stuff in the gnome overlay.



Given that Cinnamon 2.2 depends on gtk 3.10, however, this looks like a great time to look into it if any of the devs are interested in pursuing that work. As always, I appreciate the devs and their time. If it takes a while to get to Cinnamon it's not a big deal, but there are a few of us who would love to try it out as it seems to be getting more proliferated



[edit]

If any devs are also doing any Gentoo work for Cinnamon in an overlay or are considering an overlay I would be happy to try out any ebuilds there and help with any bugs.

Thanks again!







I saw that bug update, I want you to know that I appreciate it greatly. Building it out now alongside gnome 3.10. If I run into anything I'll file it in the bug system.



[edit]

Built with no problems. Very nice!

Posted: Thu May 15, 2014 1:55 pm Post subject: On a 32 bit Gentoo ~x86 non-systemd box, i used to run Gnome and Cinnamon, but had to remove them both when gnome required systemd (too much trouble to mess with the complications of trying to keep Cinnamon without gnome/systemd, as my main DE has always been KDE).



However, I did like to keep Cinnamon, and do have a Mint partition on this box, among several other distros.



Was pleasantly surprised to see Cinnamon reappear in today's emerge -uDN @ world (along with kde-4.13.1).



Code: [ebuild N ] gnome-extra/cinnamon-desktop-2.2.1:0/4 USE="introspection -debug" 543 kB



Apparently, this means that on Gentoo Cinnamon is basically divorced from both gnome and systemd, and only needs gtk+-3.10.x, as no gnome stuff was being pulled in by Cinnamon.



Correct?



If so, wonderful! Cinnamon is a great DE I always liked to keep around, but didn't want to move all my systems to systemd, plus I'm not currently a big Gnome fan. Many Thanks to the Devs!

... So although I actively disable networkmanager USE flag, I do not use it, the (then useless) nm-applet is pulled in, which pulls in networkmanager.



So no Cinnamon for me. That wretched networkmanager installs udev-rules that autostart it on every boot. No, thanks.



And although I have "-pulseaudio" in my make.conf USE flags, and not re-activated in package.use, I see this in the tree: Code: [nomerge ] gnome-extra/cinnamon-2.2.6 USE="bluetooth -networkmanager" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python2_7" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7"

I just tried with an explicit Code: USE="-pulseaudio" emerge --ask --tree gnome-extra/cinnamon with the same result. What?



I then added it to package.use: Code: ~ # grep alsa-plugins /etc/portage/package.use

media-plugins/alsa-plugins ffmpeg -jack libsamplerate -pulseaudio -speex



No idea what's going on.

Posted: Sat May 17, 2014 1:44 pm Post subject: Yamakuzure,

Thanks for the reply, however I knew how to get rid of the flag, I was asking CAN I get rid of it without other problems creeping in. IIRC, bluetooth was or is a dep of a few other packages.



All the packages I posted above emerged OK, Cinnamon shows up in KDM, but the normal GUI desktop immediately crashes at startup, but I can open a gnome-terminal and issue a halt command to reboot and get back to a KDM login screen. Emerge didn't complain of any missing deps, USE flags, etc.



I haven't investigated much as yet, but it appears Cinnamon might be actually running, but no DE is visible.



I share your feelings about networkmanager (at least on Gentoo). I've used wpa_supplicant GUI for years now with no problems.



Currently I'm installing Cinnamon on another identical Gentoo install on this box, but it uses systemd (wanted to get some systemd experience with gentoo). If my booting to Cinnamon problems don't appear, I'll suspect and look for a difference is this supposedly identical Gentoo system that uses systemd instead of RC. Either way, I'll post back.



Are you by chance on systemd, and does your Cinnamon DE actually boot OK, notwithstanding the audio complications?



UPDATE: OK- It's a little better on the systemd Gentoo partition. Cinnamon crashes when i login, but goes into "fallback mode" if you select "no restart cinnamon" in the dialog box (Black screen, with 7 icons, only one is normal (Chromium, which is functional), the others (generic white icons) all crash on trying to open them, except Leafpad, which works.



The Chromium window works normally, wireless is up, but the browser window is frozen in place on the black desktop. No panel, or menus, but right-click seems to have a few functions like created new doc or folder, but no application menus.



Any clues as to my problems, or what causes cinnamon to only login to fallback mode? I'm obviously not that experienced with Cinnamon.

I had the same problem. I was running cinnamon-2.2.6 just fine then I upgraded to cinnamon-2.2.9 and it crashed to fallback mode. I think one of the new ebuilds is missing a dependency. "gnome-themes" Probably muffin-2.2.3 . Anyway try installing "gnome-themes" and see if it works. It did for me I had the same problem.

Posted: Mon May 19, 2014 12:37 pm Post subject: binbash,

Thanks much for the tip! That points me in the right direction, and I have a partially functioning Cinnamon DE.



However, it still seems to be missing a few things, like still having a black desktop background. Some default themes are installed, but will not display. I now have a menu, and can open most apps, but some Cinnamon related things don't seem to be fully functional. Desktop icons are still generic, and control-center doesn't have full functions. All the kde apps and other non-cinnamon relater stuff open and work normally.



I'm looking at the cinnamon ebuild to see if I'm missing deps, but so far i have the few that I've looked at. Here's a list of my gnome-extra packages: Code: gentoo-audio wrc # qlist -IC gnome-extra/*

gnome-extra/cinnamon

gnome-extra/cinnamon-control-center

gnome-extra/cinnamon-desktop

gnome-extra/cinnamon-menus

gnome-extra/cinnamon-screensaver

gnome-extra/cinnamon-session

gnome-extra/cinnamon-settings-daemon

gnome-extra/cinnamon-translations

gnome-extra/cjs

gnome-extra/gnome-audio

gnome-extra/gnome-color-manager

gnome-extra/gnome-screensaver

gnome-extra/nemo

gnome-extra/nm-applet

gnome-extra/polkit-gnome

gnome-extra/yelp-xsl

gnome-extra/zenity

gentoo-audio wrc #

Any ideas on what I still might be missing? Maybe I should just go ahead and install gnome. Really don't want to, but it might be easier than sorting out one-by-one all the cinnamon ebuild deps listed.

Thanks much for the tip! That points me in the right direction, and I have a partially functioning Cinnamon DE.



However, it still seems to be missing a few things, like still having a black desktop background. Some default themes are installed, but will not display. I now have a menu, and can open most apps, but some Cinnamon related things don't seem to be fully functional. Desktop icons are still generic, and control-center doesn't have full functions. All the kde apps and other non-cinnamon relater stuff open and work normally.



I'm looking at the cinnamon ebuild to see if I'm missing deps, but so far i have the few that I've looked at. Here's a list of my gnome-extra packages: Code: gentoo-audio wrc # qlist -IC gnome-extra/*

gnome-extra/cinnamon

gnome-extra/cinnamon-control-center

gnome-extra/cinnamon-desktop

gnome-extra/cinnamon-menus

gnome-extra/cinnamon-screensaver

gnome-extra/cinnamon-session

gnome-extra/cinnamon-settings-daemon

gnome-extra/cinnamon-translations

gnome-extra/cjs

gnome-extra/gnome-audio

gnome-extra/gnome-color-manager

gnome-extra/gnome-screensaver

gnome-extra/nemo

gnome-extra/nm-applet

gnome-extra/polkit-gnome

gnome-extra/yelp-xsl

gnome-extra/zenity

gentoo-audio wrc #

Any ideas on what I still might be missing? Maybe I should just go ahead and install gnome. Really don't want to, but it might be easier than sorting out one-by-one all the cinnamon ebuild deps listed.





That looks ok. I don't have gnome-audio or gnome-screensaver but I have the rest. When I first installed cinnamon on gentoo it wasn't in portage so I had to create a local overlay and hack some ebuild's. cinnamon was designed for linux mint so some things need tweaking or don't work on gentoo. I think it works better if you install a DM and login with that. I use gdm-2.20.11-r1 as I have most of gnome-3.8 masked, I don't use systemd. I use a theme called cinnamon but don't know where I got it. I don't use control-center but if you go into cinnamon-settings you can download themes from there. Also if you open "cinnamon-settings" go to hardware and click "system info" it just open's a blank window.

That's because linux mint puts things in a different place then gentoo but you can edit "/usr/lib/cinnamon-settings/modules/cs_info.py" and change both instances of "lspci"

to "/usr/sbin/lspci" save it and log out of cinnamon and back in then system info will work.
