install Cinnamon 1.6 in Maya

[Ivan76]

I have the Nigtly PPA, but to me from that ppa Cinnamon 1.6 will not install, it tells me Cinnamon is updated to the latest version??

[mank_in]

Do you used ppa:gwendal-lebihan-dev/cinnamon-nightly

At this time (3 sept 2012 ), thats PPA still contain cinnamon 1.5.3
You can see cinnamon version with command :

Code: Select all

cinnamon --version


[zerozero]

cinnamon 1.6 is not out yet http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com/?p=195

As usual there’s no ETA (we release “when ready”) but we’re getting close to a feature-freeze. [...]If you’re interested in following the project and running the very latest builds of Cinnamon (we’re currently at version 1.5.3)

so if you have the nightly ppa, you have the latest cinnamon available right now

Strange, I'm getting "Cinnamon is already the latest version" after adding the PPA.

[zerozero]

the latest version of cinnamon today is 1.5.3-20120904044006.

1.6 is going to be released.

[zerozero]

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get upgrade

[d00med]

Tried that, zerozero, but it doesn't upgrade Cinnamon here (Maya 32bit). Hmm.

[zerozero]

SCrid2000,

Code: Select all

apt-cache policy cinnamon

[SCrid2000]

Very strange

  Version table:

When I do apt-get update I get

Code: Select all

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/gwendal-lebihan-dev/cinnamon-nightly/ubuntu/dists/maya/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/gwendal-lebihan-dev/cinnamon-nightly/ubuntu/dists/maya/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found


which would explain why I don't have a 1.5 candidate in my version table.

[zerozero]

there's no distribution maya in that ppa, you have to replace the occurrences maya in the ppa source.list with precise

Thanks, changed the ppa and sudo apt-get install cinnamon=1.5.3-20120905044010-precise made it available, just had to update the following dependencies (for anyone else looking to do this):

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install muffin-common=1.0.6-20120905024006-precise
sudo apt-get install libmuffin0=1.0.6-20120905024006-precise
sudo apt-get install muffin=1.0.6-20120905024006-precise


and then sudo apt-get install cinnamon=1.5.3-20120905044010-precise.[/s]
Broke cinnamon lol

[zerozero]

sorry for having missed those but the only maya i have installed is kde.
[edit celebrating too soon]

[zerozero]

SCrid2000,
i see in your [edit] that it didn't went that well
can you check please if all the dep are installed and matching the latest version?

Code: Select all

gir1.2-muffin-3.0 GObject introspection data for Muffin
libmuffin-dev Development files for the Muffin window manager
libmuffin0 window manager library from the Muffin window manager
muffin lightweight GTK+ window manager
muffin-common shared files for the Muffin window manager


if it wasn't pulled as a dep i think that gir1.2-muffin-3.0 is missing.
