Re: Cinnamon nightly builds
IMO they are just more bleeding edge, I didn't have any issues with them. But some extensions crashed Cinnamon, so I needed to add the new version numbers into metadata.json.
Re: Cinnamon nightly builds
I've been using the Cinnamon nightlies for months without any issues. And I'm working on themes, which requires constant reloading and tweaking, so putting it through some riggers, and it remains very stable. I've had a few system freezes, since getting my laptop months ago (immediately wiped Win7 and installed Mint 14), but I assume it's related to the known integrated intel graphics on the CPU issue, which I believe was fixed in Mint 14.01.
Re: Cinnamon nightly builds
I used the nightly builds ppa to get the latest Nemo -- some good work has been done and I wanted to take advantage of it. Otherwise I keep the ppa deactivated.

Re: Cinnamon nightly builds
ok i found the issue (sorry for taking so long)
1- the ppa is correct (no need to edit)
2- the question is pin-priority, cinnamon and nemo are also in mint's repo and those have higher priority than the ppa's
3- to overcome this we have to
in the file that opens add the following rule
save the file; update and upgrade.
this should do it
1- the ppa is correct (no need to edit)
2- the question is pin-priority, cinnamon and nemo are also in mint's repo and those have higher priority than the ppa's
3- to overcome this we have to
Code: Select all
gksu gedit /etc/apt/preferences
Code: Select all
Package: *
Pin: origin ppa.launchpad.net
Pin-Priority: 700
this should do it
Re: Cinnamon nightly builds
Thanks for all your help. Reboot and synaptic had updates for cinnamon,muffin,nemo tho version still shows 1.1.2 tho now pane icons look cleaner and somekind of blue underline under /home /root and my usb external drives (Disk Space used?).
Just assume it's nightlies or some way to check versions?
But thanks for your help as didn't want to wait till april and may to get the goodies improvements for 1.8.

yep,
i'm running in this install raring
the hostname is a misnomer
this week (with desklets and some other commits) cinnamon has been a bit unstable but this is not the usual self; on the other hand this is a development branch and can break anytime.

Re: Cinnamon nightly builds [Solved]
Has the Cinnamon nightlies broken some applets for anyone else? It might be just other menu applets. They're all blank now.
