Gnome Cinnamon

Post by eipapp »

I'm currently running Mint 14 Cinnamon. I've used Gnome 3 before on Mint 13 so wanted to take it out for a spin, however, I'm not getting the usual Gnome 3 affects I'm used to, for example, when I depress the Windows Key nothing happens. Is something missing from the installation, has it been changed, what haps ??
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Bruce

Cinnamon is a shell on top of Gnome 3, just as Gnome Shell is. So I'm a bit confused what you mean that you have used Gnome 3, but I think you mean Gnome Shell. This topic has some notes on what to do to get Gnome Shell working fully: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... 8&t=117580. Read it till the end for full details.
