I guess #! + Cinnamon (or Mate) is off topic?

hinto · 2012-05-21 13:06:42

Hi guys,
I'm in the process of re-imaging my home system (read, the fam has to use it) from LM 10 to something else.
I use #! solely at work and roll on sid... However, the fam is not quite so adventurous. I really like the rock-solid stability of #! (and the forums) and would like to re-image with #! and add say Cinnamon (or Mate) like LMDE did. I guess, under the covers I'd modify sources.list to bring in those things to match LMDE. Has anyone done something like this yet?
Thanks for any info.
(and yes I like like OpenBox, too, but my family hasn't developed a taste for it yet)

Definitely not taboo hinto...

Doing a quick search, I have not found anyone who has tried it yet and posted about it the way you are suggesting.

Thanks,
Seems pretty straight forward... but I wanted to check first.

^ I would, for the sake of safety, disable the crunchbang repos before adding LMDE's sources, then do an update. God knows what the green guys have put in their service packs big_smile

Hey Hinto were you ever able to get Cinnamon installed? Ive been trying something similar but cant seem to get passed the dependency issues

hinto · 2012-09-13 17:15:10

^haven't tried it yet... but thanks for reminding me. I've been using razor-qt + xfwm4.

Cinnamon installs, but there are a few problems running Java/Swings over ssh.
Going back to a more tried and true UI wink

Sorry I missed this thread originally.

Someone at the debian forums built cinnamon and muffin packages for testing that I tried awhile back. These should install to Waldorf using the steps in my post from the bottom of that thread, though I can't speak to stability or bugs...

Yes, they do, that's how I found the bug.

^Ha ha, ok!

saneks · 2012-10-30 21:50:24

dual boot? - ok, it's not possible to just change user..

i really liked Linux Mint Debian with Xfce (maya), why not have that add cinnamon+mate for family and crunchify it in your account? --

you should've never showed them the blingbling in the first place wink --
just kidding, i loved that mac-esque "show all windows" thing on our workshop computer.

You can just install it on #! if you want.

I'm running cinnamon alongside #! using gdm3 as the login manager.

# Cinnamon Themes, Applets And Extensions LMDE : http://www.webupd8.org/2012/04/cinnamon … sions.html
# Secure APT : sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 4FA9719D

deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian main upstream import

aptitude install cinnamon-keyring and then just aptitude install cinnamon
I've also got Gnome3 running on here as well and Window Maker.
You'll find out the software notifier/updater will work with OpenBox automatically via the Gnome3 install.
Then you have the option upon startup to change over to the new folder names if you choose to.
