[SOLVED] Cinnamon Desktop Selection

Hi, I'm running Archlinux with the cinnamon desktop, does anyone know how to achieve the desktop dragging? (Dragging a selection box on the desktop)
I know it's possible as I've seen Manjaro do it, and Manjaro is based off of Archlinux. I'm going to assume it is a package, or maybe a config file. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thank you, I have used openbox for about four years now, so I never played with gnome that much, but the recent xorg update broke openbox's logout, so I switched to cinnamon. Overall happy with it, now that I have control over my desktop. Thanks again!

[Solved] Cinnamon desktop quirks

Hey, I installed the cinnamon desktop, but I can only see my usb drive under the root acount, not under the my user account. I've looked in the wiki, but nothing. I've got myself added to the groups, but nothing either.
I also can't seem to shutdown from within the menu.
Any help would be great, thanks.

[SOLVED]How configure keyboard configuration to kill Cinnamon Desktop.

Hello I have installed Cinnamon desktop and i try enable ctrl+Alt+Backspace to kill it, passing terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp to XkbOptions.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … on_in_Xorg
This is my 10-keyboard.conf.

Sorry, I feel like I should have done some more googling but it only occured to me while writing this post that other universities use eduroam. With a quick google search I found a solution.I will redeam myself by posting my solution.
1. ip link set wlan0 up where wlan0 is your wireless interface you are trying to connect from.
2. Create/edit /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf to look like:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
ssid="eduroam"
scan_ssid="eduroam"
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
pairwise=CCMP
group=CCMP
eap=PEAP
identity="abc1@university_name.ac.uk"
password="PASSWORD"
ca_cert="/usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/GlobalSign_Root_CA.crt"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
3. As root:
wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
4. then dhcpcd wlan0 again where wlan0 is the interface you are trying to connect from.

[SOLVED] Cinnamon 2.0.6-2 crashes with pulseaudio-4.0.5

Hello
After yesterdays cinnamon update issue have been solved I've proceeded with full system update only to find Cinnamon crashing again, though error comes from different package this time.
After starting X with startx Cinnamon opens up, then pops message like "Cinnamon has crashed and is running in fallback mode, do you want to restart?" if I restart same thing happens if I don't environment hangs up.
I have concluded that culprit is libpulse-4.0.5 and/or pulseaudio-4.0.5 since one cant be installed without other there is no way telling witch it is - I've everything else up to date except for these 2 packages and everything is working.
here is jurnalctl -b

[SOLVED] Cinnamon appearance settings not working.

I have a strange problem concerning Cinnamon 2.2.0-1 from [community-testing], in which some appearance settings simply do not work. Specifically, I can't change icons or gtk theme, and making any change in cinnamon-settings has no effect whatsoever on the system. I've tried changing the appearance with lxappearance to some success - now the panel and some Gnome3 applications show the selected theme and icons, but the rest of the applications keep the old appearance settings. I have no .gtkrc files in my home folder and I start Cinnamon from LightDM.
This is the output from running cinnamon-settings from a terminal:

I've got a whole raft of problems with the latest update, which I've listed here.
EDIT: I'm going to wait until these two are updated before I start reporting bugs, purely because it may just be that not all the updates have been pushed at the same time.

[SOLVED] Cinnamon cannot set background in settings

1. There aren't any wallpapers in background settings.
2. I cannot add any wallpapers (jpg, png) to the background settings.
3. My wallpaper now is a default blue color.
This is a newly installed Cinnamon desktop. I searched related questions, is it because of nautilus? I didn't get a clear solution for this issue. Thank you very much.

Cinnamon Desktop GVFS Timeout

I use the cinnamon desktop. I just did a system update, and now, I get a behavior where after I log in there is a delay before conky and the icons on the desktop appear.
There are messages in the journal the would appear to be relevant, but I don't quite understand what they mean.
org.gtk.vfs.Daemon[476]: ** (process:577): WARNING **
: send_done_cb: Timeout was reached (g-io-error-quark, 24)
cinnamon-session[468]: WARNING: Application 'cinnamon.desktop' failed to register before timeout
cinnamon-session[468]: CRITICAL: We failed, but the fail whale is dead. Sorry....
These messages only appear once per login.
So it seems this indicates that gvfs is timing out for some reason, but I don't know how to diagnose that any further. Any suggestions for how I could dig into this more?
Thanks,
Tom

[SOLVED] How change language in Cinnamon Desktop Environment

Hi,
I wanted to change the language of cinnamon but I do not see any option to change the language. I have installed cinnamon-translations.
Thanks for all help
Last edited by formoza (2014-08-01 20:00:31)

Things changed recently with the introduction of the "mintlocale" package in Linux Mint, which now handles this in Cinnamon.
For now, to add new locales you need to still use the /etc/locale.gen and locale-gen way of adding them.
To change language used, you need the mintlocale package installed.

[Solved] KDE Desktop Effects no longer working

Hello,
I just did an update, (I didn't think it was a major one, I don't recall seeing graphics update, though I'm not sure how to confirm - is there a way to see recently updated packages in yaourt?) and after a brief issue with powertop that was solved by a restart (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=179789 - it may be unrelated though) I found that when I restarted, KWin Crashed, and since then, my desktop effects are not working.
I have gone to the KDE Desktop Effects Settings Menu, and under the advanced menu, set the compositing type back to OpenGL 3.1, clicked apply, and confirmed that I wanted to try it even though it had evidently crashed Kwin. I then received a message stating "21 desktop effects could not be loaded". When I clicked details, a popup window said:
"For technical reasons it is not possible to determine all possible error causes.
Desktop effect system is not running."
For the record, I am on a Thinkpad X201 with intel graphics.
Any ideas?

Some Extra information:
I just tried a restart, that didn't work.
I then went back into effect settings, and saw that "enable effects at startup" was not checked. I also saw that under the advanced settings, Qt Graphics system was set to raster. Since I'm not sure which it was supposed to be on originally, but the current configuration wasn't working, I also set that to Native, and then clicked apply. KWin then crashed, here is the output:

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I found this on another site:
1.) Start the Desktop Manager software
2.) Connect the blackberry using USB Connector
3.) Select "back-up and restore"
4.) Select "advanced"
5.) Look at the list of information showing in the "device memory" window on your computer
6.) Select "calender all" and DELETE it
7.) Go back to the main screen and syncronize.
8.) Everything should work fine!
In essence it was a corrupt calendar data file on the Blackberry device, apparently.

[Solved]update-desktop-database doesn't work

The output is:
Warning in file "/usr/share/applications/epiphany.desktop": usage of MIME type "multipart/related" is discouraged ("multipart" is a media type that probably does not make sense in this context)
The databases in [/usr/local/share/applications, /usr/share/applications] could not be updated.
Can anyone help?

[FIXED BUT NOT SOLVED] NVIDIA - Desktop shifted left off the screen...

Hello Community!
For a pretty long time right now, I am trying to fix the video setup of my HTPC but without success. Because I'am run out of ideas, I really need Your help.
PROBLEM:
The desktop is shifted left off the screen, round about 100 Pixel.
It started some time in the past, while upgrading a one year old Ubuntu installation (NVDIA drivers). Because I couldn't fix it and also wanted to replace Ubuntu with ArchLinux, I performed a clean ArchLinux installation.
First I used the nouveau drivers ending up with the same problem. I read an configured using xrandr and cvt, but with no success.
So I restored the system to a snapshot taken before X11 and nouveau drivers installations, thank's BTRFS, and installed the proprietary NVIDIA drivers ending up with the same problems. Again I tried all the tips and tricks found in the documentations and forums, used nvidia-xconfig, hand crafted the xorg.conf all with no success.
HARDWARE
The system is a MSI Media Live (http://www.msi.com/product/desktop/Media-Live.html)
. Support AMDR Athlon 64 X2, Athlon 64 and Sempron in the Socket AM2 package
. North Bridge: nVidia® C51PVG Chipset
. South Bridge: nVidia® MCP51 Chipset
. Graphics is Integrated NVIDIA GPU GeForce 6150 LE
. VGA, SCART and HDMI - Connectors
The display Problem is on VGA and HDMI now, where in the past the VGA was perfect. Therefor I connected and used the VGA port only, in all tests.
INSTALLATION HISTORY
2012-12-30 + Installation according ArchLinux install guide
2012-12-31 + pacman -S openssh
systemctl start sshd
2012-12-31 + pacman -S btrfs-progs
2012-12-31 pacman -S sudo
2012-12-31 + sudo pacman -S bash-completion

2013-01-10 + pacman -Syu nvidia-304xx-utils
2013-01-10 + pacman -S xorg-server xorg-xinit xorg-server-utils
2013-01-10 + pacman -S mesa
2013-01-10 + pacman -S xorg-twm xorg-xclock xterm

2013-01-10 + pacman -Suy lxdm
2013-01-10 + systemctl enable lxdm.service
2013-01-10 + pacman -S xorg-xdpyinfo
2013-01-10 + pacman -S pkgtools
2013-01-10 + pacman -S pkgfile
2013-01-10 + pacman -S bc
As You can see, I installed only a minimal X11 environment for test. The lxdm display manger shows up but with very small font and shifted to the left. Only if I force a resolution of 1024x768 the image is centered on screen/tv but still the very small font. Obviously not a solution for a HTPC.
Here are the xorg.conf and the Xorg.0.log of my last test configuration.

Thank You Mr.Elendig!
The simplest answer often is best. After I connected a TFT display, instead of my TV, I was able to calibrate the screen output and got the desktop shifted. Knowing that, I tried the settings of my TV again. There is a hard to find option for calibration wich is set to automatic but doesn't do it. Trying to turn it of did the trick. Even the option stays on automatic and even the display format is fixed to 4:3 instead of 16:9, finaly the TV adjusted the display correctly.
None the less, the problem not to be able to shift the desktop using the screen paramters in xorg.conf remains.
Thanks
