    Wow, old news is old. :|

      Is not old, you know that cinnamon stopped working on Ubuntu 12.04 for a while now, this is just to inform people that the PPA is working again on precise Pangolin.

    Thanks for sharing :)

    It’s nice to have options, but I can’t get it to work on my computer.  I’m thinking it’s the graphics card and seeing how it’s a laptop, there not much I can do about that.  Installing Solus Os has been easier for me.

       Might be your drivers. Cinnamon runs off of gdm3, if you can only run Gnome classic (fallback) then Cinnamon will not work. If you can run Gnome 3 fully then there is another underlying issue than the video card more than likely

    Also having problems here, I have an ATI card with catalyst driver…. maybe because that?, I only can see wallpaper and nothing more.

    After successfully installing cinnamon, cinnamon desktop look lime Gnome classic.
    How can I get Cinnamon menu?

    • Guest

       I have the same problem… I’m wondering if it has to do with the fact that I also installed gnome-panel, the more “classic” verison of the new shell.

         After reboot choose cinnamon instead of Ubuntu

    • Akash

      1 Uninstall any GPU drivers that you have.
      2 Uninstall cinnamon
      3 Do an Update
      4 Install cinnamon again

I tried it and it works with a regular zip file, but if you password-protect the .zip file it does NOT work.

After install as above, run shell script /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/wfica.sh manually and note lib errors still occur. I had the x64 motif loaded but had to manually install the x86 too. Got that from http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libXm.so.4 Even after that, I still had to do a “yum install alsa-lib.i686 alsa-lib.x86_64″ to resolve any additional libasound.so.2 errors. Once those two lib issues were resolved, Citix Web Interface launched apps fine by telling browser to open launch.ica using /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/wfica.sh. Good luck Ernesto!
