Debian bullseye and cinnamon
I have just installed Debian Bullseye with cinnamon. None of the settings menus appear: For instance Menu->Preferences/Display shows a running clock icon briefly then nothing. Same behavior for all other Prferences items. Any clues?

Do you also use Sid and wonder why things don't work?

Instead of useless comments, you could provide solution: https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues/8495
Btw, you can wait... maybe forever

Re: Debian bullseye and cinnamon
From past experience cinnamon didn't get much support on debian.
the date for cinnamon-desktop-environment changelog https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/ ... _changelog goes back to Tue, 07 Aug 2018 ...there's had to have been some active development since then.
Since then I've become happy with mate-desktop. Mint seem to have cinnamon 4.0

Re: Debian bullseye and cinnamon
It's pretty easy to compile. I'm on 4.2.1, compiled from source, you can find debs on forum. Official Debian support does not exist, or I am blind. I think Cinnamon will be eventually removed from repos, as it's not functional anymore and there is no support

You really think installing things that aren't from the Debain dev team is a solution?giaur wrote:Instead of useless comments, you could provide solution: https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues/8495

Or better maybe reinstall the whole mess and start over since it's testing and is going to break anyway from time to time?
Re: Debian bullseye and cinnamon
Do you really think not working desktop is cool? You will wait forever, with broken desktop. Your choice. You actually need to edit one file to fix bug. You don't need to install anything.
And you should realize: there is no any Debian team for Cinnamon, and nothing is going to be fixed in any near future. Ofc you can wait, but as fix exists and bug is fixed months ago, you could link that, "wait" is not solution.
If you are smart enough, you can fix some isues by yourself (in this case, apply fix from devs), if not, you will always wait. Well maybe you are not smart enough, but let the others choose what they want to do.

Haha calm down junior.
Youy really think your idiotic attempt and trying to talk down to me and make yourself look superior matters at all in my life?
If you weren't so childish you may have acted differently in the first place.

The guy that asked this:
is kind of handicappped I guess, and enjoys posting nonsense, making useless comments , but any way I do use SID, and everything works just fine, I have not had any problems that can't be fixed with a little search foo, and some logic, something this pill popper is lacking.Do you also use Sid and wonder why things don't work?

I'm trying to show which comment is useless. Your answer does not help and it's totally useless. If you don't want to help, it's ok.

Re: Debian bullseye and cinnamon
Agreed, spam is not ok, and childish trollbots are not really ok either, the irony, this trollbot calling someone else childish. Hey troll bot, nobody has to do anything to make you look inferior, you do a great job of that your self,by theblueplll »Haha calm down junior.

at least giaur offered a possible solution,
Really thhe only other solution would be to use Linux Mint, cinnamon is something they made, and that is why they keep supporting it and developing it. Since Linux Mint is based on Debian, Cinnamoun can be compiled for Debian, but yes it does take some tecnical skill, not much, but some .Mint seem to have cinnamon 4.0

Re: Debian bullseye and cinnamon
Afaik, Cinnamon 4.2 will be released with next Mint release, so yes, current stable Mint is on 4.0. Regarding to issue reported by OP, I posted bug report and fix (until Debian applies it, which is not going to happen anytime soon).
If somebody afraid to apply fix by himself, wait for official update. Or compile (guide is straighforward) or use debs I compiled (4.2.1). Choice is always yours

Re: Debian bullseye and cinnamon
I'm not a trollbot
I try to make jokes and you idiots take them as me being serious and clueless.
I am not handicapped but that is pretty rude.
If not for the "we are superior you are an inferior imbecile" attitude in this forum maybe things like thsi wouldn't happen.
Do people think they are all that special because they know something about a piece of software or an OS?
When in reality a lot of times a lot of you are wrong and dismiss anything people say because you are so sure that your ( or the person that posted ahead of someone else)are correct even when shown proof that you're not.
I simply asked if something was a wise idea and got talked down to like I am 5 and the peson saying it was my mentally challenged abusive guardian.
And then more people come at me like this is a gaming forum full of frustrated 12 year old nerds that think they are tough hiding behind an internet connection.

Re: Debian bullseye and cinnamon
3 /15 post have anything to do with Cinnamon much less bullseye and/or debian. Given the play-baby pointless tone, it would seem an ms windows environment better suit you.

I used to used LMDE3 and it had the same bug. Part of the reason I switched to Debian Testing with Cinnamon is because Mint didn't fix it. This link does have a fix for it. A simple edit to a file. Perhaps the Debian Cinnamon Developers could link to this fix???
PS... Stop being a bunch of squabbling jerks, people like you are the reason many people don't use Linux. They don't like being treated like crap by a bunch of childish people.
Re: Debian bullseye and cinnamon
Unlike some orhers, I posted solution. In response, I got "answer" saying, that solution is wrong and we should wait.
Btw. Very easy to find solution. Enough to copy - paste console error message to Google. Fix is included in Cinnamon 4.2 and latest Mint released just moment ago. For Debian, I have already said everything I think about it, I would not expect any Cinnamon update anytime soon, hopefully Cinnamon is easy to compile.
Also, has anobyody posted bug report to Debian?
