We need a little more Information what version of Mint are you installing it on? obviously not Mint 12.

What video card are you using? some video drivers are having problems with 3D and thus will not allow Cinnamon to run.

Hi!
Same problem here.
I've been using Mate for the last month, today i wanted to switch to Cinnamon, and when I selected it at the login splash screen, it started without deskbar, so i have to execute
Code: Select all
cinnamon --replace

to have the deskbar started, but it shows a lot of errors
here they are:
hrafn@hrafn ~ $ cinnamon --replace

Also it failed at first to establish wireless connection (it started working at the second or third attempt)
ALSA also doesn't work
snd_pcm_open failed: Connection refused.

I'm using Connamon 1.4.0 in LMDE with 3.2.0-2-686-pae kernel.
Any hint about what the solution may be?
For what i have read and investigated, de "JS" errors can be solved marking the lines (the ones with errors) marking them as "true/false". (although i dont know how to apply this solution, nor where or how)
Also, some users in the cinnamon github page suggested that the 'StBoxLayout' errors could be because of a Poorly coded GTK theme or an Menu-applet. I have no other installed theme but the default one, the same with the applets.
Thank you very much, and please, sorry about my english, it's not my native language.
Thank you in advance
Coronel
