Cinnamon,Desktop---SOLVED

[burrina]

I rebooted and now my desktop is Gnome and no longer Cinnamon even though it is chosen when logging in.There is simply no difference anymore between them,what happened? My Mint menu is gone,the top taskbar is not the same anymore! Any ideas as to why? I had everything set just fine and now it's all gone.

Thanks, I removed the Nvidia thing and all is well.

Check what graphics drivers you use now, because graphics can go into fallback mode, if something unexpected happens.
That means the current used graphics driver doesn't support some desktops 3D elemens, so you can't get into correct desktop look.
You can see graphics drivers in system settings -> system information, graphics tab - > what is driver?

Example a lot of people had issues when they updated Cinnamon 1.3, because by accident it also installed nvidia driver.
There is Clem's instruction how to fix that. Now the Cinnamon 1.3 is fixed, so that should not happen anymore.
