[zerozero]

Trying to update cinnamon today, sudo apt build is failing:

Any ideas?

:Edit: It appears I need a new version of muffin. I still cannot build

Don't worry, that zapped the devs too. If I caught the gist, top_window_group was added this weekend to fix a bug, and an old muffin doesn't know about it. I think they've fixed it now.

my amd64-wheezy:
muffin builds and installs (0e57527)
cinnamon builds and installs (ce6bbce)

I can zip up the debs and/or try a i386 build, if you like. Apparently 1.4 will drop this week.

I'm getting a better handle on a correct installation sequence; I guess make install is supposed to output to /usr/local, but make uninstall removes the files in /usr.

"A later version is already installed". Should I force?
And, by the way, what exactly updated in this archive? Same names as present

UPD: Suddenly found that I could move elements on upper panel just draggin 'em. So the panel is customizable! Wonderful!!

The official version in the linuxmint repos is 1.3.1-lmde1. My files are labeled 1.3.1 because the configs are not bumped to "1.4" until the release.

APT thinks the official version is newer, so if you apt-get upgrade before then, the stable 1.3.1 will overwrite the almost-1.4 you just installed.

I haven't been following along, I'm sure the changelog for the past 3 weeks is massive.

Cheers MT, that has done the trick, will be able to build cinnamon again (until my muffin goes stale again ).

[iLobster]

1.4 installed, thanks. Everything seems all right so far.
Is there any changelog or something?

1.4 release announcement

Is it just me or do the themes not work properly with the new version? (except cinnamon theme) In expo overview, I am missing the "x" on the desktops and the "+" on the right.

I have fixed by copying the contents of the default theme over the theme I am using and skipping all files except the cinnamon.css, so that I get the missing files.

Also the colour code for the panel has gone from rgba to html styleee (I think! - color: #ffffff).

[AlbertP]

The style code used with HTML is called CSS, but yes "HTML style" also clearly describes what you mean.

In fact it's still kind of RGB: #ffffff

Yep. No hot-corner icon, either. Clem's advising commenters on the blog to revert to the default (Cinnamon) theme until artists have a chance to update. Bimsebasse jumped on it already.

I have fixed by copying the contents of the default theme over the theme I am using and skipping all files except the cinnamon.css, so that I get the missing files.

Good idea!

Code: Select all

export THEME=Minty  # or whatever
sudo cp /usr/share/cinnamon/theme/*.png /usr/share/themes/$THEME/cinnamon/
sudo cp /usr/share/cinnamon/theme/*.svg /usr/share/themes/$THEME/cinnamon/


Restarting cinnamon, it looks like cinnamon.css will need classes for workspace-add-button and workspace-close-button, probably more. I'll wait for a proper update. That laptop's ugly anyway.

I tried building muffin 1.0.2 and cinnamon 1.4 separately from getting the source code from Git (following instructions from here) ...it didn't work

Because Cinnamon 1.4 depends on Muffin 1.0.2 I've already built and installed Muffin 1.0.2, here's hoping this doesn't break Mockturtl's source code in his post (although I've noticed that his code is compiled for wheezy rather than sid)

[GeoNeil]

Oh they're packages, never mind

[mockturtl]

I had a little trouble upgrading to the official 1.4.0-lmde1 package. Kept crashing on startup. I fixed it by cleaning out all cinnamon references from the build process (find /usr/local -name cinnamon*). Tracking down the error messages, gsettings was giving precedence to an old local version of the schema (/usr/local/share/glib-2.0) missing some new keys needed by 1.4. Got rid of that directory, and everything runs smoothly.

Seems like the same problem ZZ encountered in the 1.3 upgrade. I believe we should have been running configure with prefix=/usr all this time.

[xircon]

Upgraded to official release, am not getting Mockturtl's problems, but have some of my own

Some of my autostart programs, well, no longer autostart:
Gmail screenlet
Clear Weather screenlet
guake
clipman

They do launch from nautilus.

Any ideas where to look??
