what version of cinnamon do you have?

Dazhann · 09-19-2013, 04:03 AM

Not sure its a fresh and updated mint 13 so 1.4? where do I look to find out

Firerat · 09-19-2013, 04:06 AM

well, that weather applet is for 1.8+

in settings --> hardware system info is where you will find version

Dazhann · 09-19-2013, 04:33 AM

I seem to be running the latest version checked using terminal. Im very new to mint/linux, about 2 weeks so Im still stumbing round not really knowing what Im doing, so I appreciate your patience

Firerat · 09-19-2013, 04:52 AM

latest version never means anything to me

give me a number

Firerat · 09-19-2013, 04:53 AM

thinking ahead, try

Code:

sudo apt-get install cjs

Dazhann · 09-19-2013, 04:59 AM

The reason I used terminal, I couldn't find a number all it said was that it was cinnamon. I've also installed cjs, no change, same error messages when I restart

Firerat · 09-19-2013, 05:07 AM

ok, I'll download and install Mint13, to see what I can do

Firerat · 09-19-2013, 06:47 AM

full install of Mint13, full upgrade ( which seemed to take twice as long as the install

)

cinnamon --version
Cinnamon 1.4.0

I will look at the older versions of that applet

Firerat · 09-19-2013, 06:57 AM

Code:

rm -r ~/.local/share/cinnamon/applets/weather@mockturtl
cd 
mkdir CinWeather
pushd CinWeather
   wget https://github.com/mockturtl/cinnamon-weather/archive/v1.4.tar.gz
   pushd $(tar vxf v1.4.tar.gz | head -n1)
     ./install.sh
   popd
popd

then add via applets menu, restart cinnamon ( alt+f2 r )
