I tryed from the live and I suceeded to open just a failsafe session with

Exec=/usr/bin/cinnamon-session2d
TryExec=/usr/bin/cinnamon-session2d

Not a big result!

Yes I got lots of failsafe session while trying whatsoever command
When not big crashes, where I had to go with mc from emergency console…
(grub recovery mode I mean )

I got also a kernel warning in journalctl -b. It really seems a bug.

Lx 3.0 is the past

Yeah, guess wandboards and arm are more important.

Some dependencies are missing:

sudo urpmi lib64cjs-gir1.0 lib64xfixies-gir4.0 lib64gnomekbd-gir3.0 libgnomekbd-common gksu python2-imaging python2-pexpect

Then type the following command in fail-safe terminal

cinnamon --replace &

Not all is working so other dependencies are missing …

urpmi lib64cjs-gir1.0 lib64xfixies-git4.0 lib64gnomekbd-gir3.0 libgnomekbd-common gksu python-pil python2-imaging python2-io python2-pexpect --test
No package named lib64xfixies-git4.0
No package named python-pil
No package named python2-io

Which repo do you have enabled please?

mandian · April 17, 2017, 3:06pm

I’m sorry, I did some error in reporting packages name (I took them from the history so I reported some failed attempt). I corrected the above and I report here again:

sudo urpmi lib64cjs-gir1.0 lib64xfixies-gir4.0 lib64gnomekbd-gir3.0 libgnomekbd-common gksu python2-imaging python2-pexpect

Then type the following command in fail-safe terminal

cinnamon --replace &

Also note libgnomekbd-common is a x86_64 library even fi it is called as a i686 one.

rugyada · April 17, 2017, 3:22pm

I have the feeling that should be lib64xfixes-gir4.0 right?

[ruru@omlx-946 ~]$ rpm -qa|grep libgnomekbd-common
libgnomekbd-common-3.6.0-10-omv2015.0.x86_64

It’s so, of course
Today there is an ester egg into my keyboard

rugyada · April 17, 2017, 3:49pm

System Info does not work here (does nothing - like many others)
There is no cinnamon entry in sddm, like before…

cinnamon --replace & is the only way to launch cinnamon then?

Filed a bug report

Try to get a look at ~/.xsession-errors, maybe there are some pother missing packages

It’s the only one I have found until now. I think it has not been well configured or still missing.

About the SDDM entry you the file /usr/share/xsessions/cinnamon.desktop should be enough. If I remember well I wrote it by hand. However I’m testing LightDM and it can see both Cinnamon and MATE. I don’t know if Cinnamon has its own DM.

Here things requiring high privileges can’t start from menu. I opened mcc form terminal. Maybe some services is not properly started (keyring? dbus? other?)

rugyada · April 17, 2017, 4:23pm

I have no .xsession-errors file in my home

FWIW the console where is running cinnamon reads:

I really don’t know if there is something useful there.

You may try to launch cinnamon-settings from cli.
