Call for Testers: Cinnamon SlackBuilds
Hi everyone,
I have created a new repository for building Cinnamon Desktop on top of Slackware 14.1 located on github: https://github.com/willysr/csb Please read the README for detailed instructions on how to build it. There are no binary packages at the moment, as this is still considered unstable, since i only tested this desktop on VM only and not yet on a real machine. Most of the scripts are reusing what's available on SBo project, plus some modifications or version bumps to the newer version. Feedback, suggestions, and improvements are welcome :) |
Wow! this is amazing work you did! I've never expected cinamon to be available on slackware, but here it is. Will definetely test as soon as I can. It should be a very nice DE for newer computers running slack!
Thank you! |
I think Cinnamon requires a more decent computer with a discrete graphical cards + hardware rendering, unlike MATE. On my VM, it will only run on software rendering mode, so it's very slow.
|
Building now, about half way. My connection is slow at the best of times but seems a bit slower with all these net related security issues :P. I always wanted to try cinnamon but was never motivated enough to download mint.
Thank you and I'll let you know how I get on. |
Gonna try it when I get home
|
:D Super snappy
It works pretty well too. My hardware is an Athlon X2 @3000MHz with onboard radeon 3000 using stock kernel driver. Renders very nice. Software: slackware-14.1 (32) full install (up to date) with not much on top; jdk, netbeans, geany, libreoffice and a few other things. This has great potential. Again, thanks willysr :hattip: |

should have stopped when I seen pulse audio on it. because that will break a lot of my work. I will throw a clean slackware image on a disk try again. |
@01micko:
Thanks and enjoy :) @Drakeo: Have you build a 3D driver from NVidia? |
Do I reslly need pulseaudio?
|
Yes, i'm afraid so
You can try to tweak cinnamon-settings-daemon if you would like to explore more about disabling pulseaudio |
hey Willy I know whats going on I am working through it. just switching to a different install instead of my work desktop. :)
I reinstalled mesa and it seems that all the configs for it are trying to default to /usr/lib on the mutilib install. and it is building now. I wont to do this with the pulse audio just to see what it takes to handle it with these multi media fresh Slackware backup images I keep. |
@Drakeo:
Just FYI, i didn't test it yet on multilib I only tested it on x86_64 VM, not even in x86, since if it works on x86_64, i assume it should work on x86 as well :) |
it getting tested now :)~ and in current :)
