[SOLVED] building Cinnamon (sid)

And they are all there and all ticked...............................

In the latest official 1.4 I have lost pull down menus in Iceweasel, Chrome and Chromium. Possibly others, but those are the ones I have tried. My autostart programs are autostarting.

[xircon]

Pull down menus (like the "wrench" menu in Chrome) seem to be OK. Tried Chrome & firefox-nightly. Iceweasel crashes:

Code: Select all

 iceweasel
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module"
/usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin: relocation error: /usr/lib/xulrunner-11.0/libxul.so: symbol SSL_RestartHandshakeAfterAuthCertificate, version NSS_3.13.2 not defined in file libssl3.so.1d with link time reference


Don't use it so this may have been the case for a while.

Iceweasel not running might be something to do with having both Iceweasel and Firefox installed.

My pull down menu error is something I have had in the past. The solution was to do with window themes or something odd, but I don't remember. My system is an updated Wheezy install with the Mint repos added, so I guess I might have some Debian package in place of a Mint one. Although I think that unlikely. I am a dedicated Gnome Shell user anyway, I just play with Cinnamon every now and then so I will just wait for 1.4.1

Bit of a silly question, I know, but how can I install 1.4?

It's in the repos now:

Code: Select all

$ apt policy cinnamon
cinnamon:
  Installed: ...
  Candidate: 1.4.0-lmde1


So just:

Code: Select all

$ apt install cinnamon

Cool. Many thanks for your reply!

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.

no idea how i missed this yesterday does this mean that i can still rescue that cinnamon?

I bet so, if you wipe everything the build put into /usr/local.

Upgraded to 1.4-lmde1, no problems so far. Only a very long start noticed: computer starts from power-on to logon-screen same time that from logon-screen to desktop.

[leafpaul]

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??

I have had a problem from the start with cinnamon starting from the log on screen, I was getting the "Oh No! Something has gone wrong screen" when trying to log on using cinnamon, I was having to log on to gnome shell then alt F2 and cinnamon --replace to use cinnamon. This mail got me looking at the start up programs were I found gnome shell listed with a tick. I have no idea why this would be there. But unticking it and now cinnamon starts properly from the log on screen.

There is a strange behaviour of Cinnamon after 1.4-lmde1 update.
Situation: Cinnamon window list applet is active and there are more than 5 windows opened.
Result: "Cinnamon Menu" applet button and "Panel launchers" applet buttons shrink There are three dots instead of "Menu". More windows open, applet buttons shrink to nothing (but I still can click somewhere in the screen corner and menu opens).

Seems like a bug, applet buttons should not shrink at all like system tray icons do.

Anyone still building cinnamon? I Built it today after a git pull, it crashes to the "aw snap" type screen. Have dropped back to the version in the repo.

I haven't been keeping up. With 201204 shipped and Precise dropping tomorrow, they'll start to ramp up for Maya with GNOME 3.4. We'll have to wait a while to see compatibility with wheezy.

Keep an eye on the status page, and give a shout when the dependencies arrive.

In Debian Experimental the latest code is probably able to run. Ubuntu 12.04 is also not 100% up-to-date with upstream Gnome 3.4. We don't need everything to be coloured dark green on that page for cinnamon to run.

muffin 1.3 builds in sid, with gir1.2-clutter-1.0 v1.10.0-1 from experimental.

Cinnamon (2b85ba3) seems to hit more api changes:

Code: Select all

st/st-scroll-bar.c: In function 'st_scroll_bar_scroll_event':
st/st-scroll-bar.c:649:3: error: enumeration value 'CLUTTER_SCROLL_SMOOTH' not handled in switch [-Werror=switch]
st/st-scroll-bar.c: In function 'stop_scrolling':
st/st-scroll-bar.c:789:3: error: 'clutter_set_motion_events_enabled' is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/clutter-1.0/clutter/deprecated/clutter-main.h:49): Use 'clutter_stage_set_motion_events_enabled' instead [-Werror=deprecated-declarations]

edit: full upgrade from experimental, including gir1.2-clutter-gst-1.0, gir1.2-gtkclutter-1.0; still no joy

edit: I see this in Precise, too

apparently was just an OOPS https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/i ... nt-5403626
and today i logged in in my precise partition, updated and cinnamon was working

Clutter 1.10 has migrated to testing; the libcogl update wants to wipe out muffin 1.0.2.

I'll provide updated wheezy tarballs once I've verified everything builds in sid.

Make sure to build the upstream stable branch (not the default master), per the Cinnamon blog.

Code: Select all

$ git checkout -b devel origin/stable
$ git lg -1  # custom alias for `git log`

I'm not following the changes, but it looks like there's been a version bump.
