on the other hand, i am trying to enable it:-) I rarely use ctrl-c to copy so having gpaste to recognize what I mark is a must for me.lurkatron wrote:no, im trying to avoid thatunixsurfer wrote:have you manage to get gpaste to save what you mark with the left button of the mouse?lurkatron wrote:awesome, thanks for gpaste!

Any chance there will be an extension for controlling screen brightness? My keys do not work. Thanks

Works for me when it's enabled.

Glad to see the new cinnamon-settings patch. I had some trouble upgrading to it from cinnamon that was stored in the lisa repository. Synaptic wanted me to remove everything I kept getting messages about broken dependencies when I tried to force the version to the upgrade on the ubuntu repository. I eventually unchecked the linux mint repository and got it to work. Because of another issue when I tried to recompile cinnamon from the latest git commit, I think I found out what happened. The cinnamon in the oneiric repository depends on libmuffin0 >=1.0.0-0ubuntu1~oneiric and my libmuffin 1.0.0 from the lisa repository was not good enough for it.

Just curious...i have a friend who uses ubuntu 11.10 and he was interested in installing Cinnamon Session...If he does (using the ubuntu file for cinnamon from the site) will he get updates for newer versions of Cinnamon in his ubuntu update manager? And if so, do they usually become available shortly after each new Cinnamon release?
Thanks
Thanks

Go to Menu > Preferences > Cinnamon Settingsjamesmania88 wrote:I installed everything now how do I get to apply these extensions?
Choose Extensions. Then check which extensions you want to apply.
To change the settings go to Menu > System Tools > dconf Editor
Then chose org > cinnamon > extensions. Select the extension and then make the changes in dconf. There are screen shots in the first post of this topic.
merlwiz79 is really good at getting those updates in his ppa. He even uploaded a package which included a patch for the latest theme settings before the next official release. You're friend will be in good shape if he adds merlwiz70's ppa to his repository.The link for the ppa is in the first post of this topic.craig10x wrote:Just curious...i have a friend who uses ubuntu 11.10 and he was interested in installing Cinnamon Session...If he does (using the ubuntu file for cinnamon from the site) will he get updates for newer versions of Cinnamon in his ubuntu update manager?

thanks mordant23...he will be very happy to hear that
just one question though...does he need to install Cinnamon session first and then add the ppa or does he only need to install the ppa?
(pardon my confusion about that...lol)

Add the PPA to your repository list and then install cinnamon.craig10x wrote:thanks mordant23...he will be very happy to hear that

Sorry I'm not working on themes at the moment.jamesmania88 wrote:I have my issues fixed! are you working on themes to import them as well merlwiz? that would make themes easier to install
I'm moving soon so I don't have much time to work on the PPA.
It would be nice if the cinnamon plugin installed the applets, extensions and themes.
Compatible themes should be here http://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/themes

I've put some thought into a theme repository, and I've taught myself how to load my own themes into a repository. There may be an easy way to do it, but I think it would be a complicated task to coordinate with the theme designers to get what you need to convert their themes into a debian package. In addition to the theme folder, you also need to create a debian folder. Every time there's an update to the theme, the debian folder has to be changed, tarballs created, packages built and tested, source packages loaded into the repository and then builds copied into all the different series. It would probably work better if the theme designers who want their work included in the repo created their own packages and then could copy them into the central repository.jamesmania88 wrote:I have my issues fixed! are you working on themes to import them as well merlwiz? that would make themes easier to install
It's an interesting thought and I'm curious if there is an easy to manage it.
