Written by M. Zinoune on February 18, 2012. Posted in Fedora, Linux Mint, Linux tutorials, Ubuntu

Cinnamon is the new desktop environment created around the Gnome 3.2, to give power Gnome Shell users a Gnome 2 like layout and experience. It is develloped and maintened by LinuxMint team. The latest release is Cinnamon1.3.

Install Cinnamon 1.3 on Ubuntu/Fedora/ Opensuse

For LinuxMint12:

Cinnamon is available from the Linux Mint repository:

sudo apt-get install cinnamon

For Ubuntu

Use the following ppa to install Cinnamon on Ubuntu:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:merlwiz79/cinnamon-ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cinnamon

When installation is done, logout and Change the session to Cinnamon.

For Fedora:

Open terminal and enter the following commands:

su
curl http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/leigh123linux/cinnamon/fedora-cinnamon.repo -o /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-cinnamon.repo
yum install cinnamon

For Opensuse 12.1:

- Cinnamon – CLICK TO INSTALL

- To install using the command line

Run the following command (as root):

When I try to add the rep to ubuntu 10.10 it says:
“Executing: gpg –ignore-time-conflict –no-options –no-default-keyring –secret-keyring /etc/apt/secring.gpg –trustdb-name /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg –keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg –primary-keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg –keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d//wuala-keyring.gpg –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com –recv 52F5110E7CBF278A5AF178E8584BD6410AAFAD78

After installing Cinnamon in OpenSUSE 12.1, the option to open a Cinnamon session is there in GDM — but when trying to open a Cinnamon session I have no title bars in my apps even pannel. Only the wallpaper and nothing else. I was able to run applications through Gnome Do, but I do not think that is working properly. Someone else have this problem?
