Cinnamon

j_v · 04-06-2014, 11:07 PM

I wonder if the older colord is somehow abi incompatible with the version of libXrandr installed on 14.1. You'd think that would make the build fail, but I've seen stranger things pass building phase only to fail at runtime.

that could be possible as well, but for now, i'm trying to build unsatisfied deps for cinnamon-launcher. I think it also relates to the problem i'm having.

The deps are getting bigger and bigger. It's almost 1:3 (deps:main)

This is way different than tracking MATE deps, which is 3:4 (deps:base+extra)

This is the latest trace of cinnamon on my VM: http://pastebin.com/mDgaXVMY

Now running cinnamon on top of Slackware 14.1, but still under software rendering mode, since it's inside the VM

Still have to polish some issues, but at least it's working now

I think this should be satisfied by pygtk, but eventually not

Your problem is a missing gobject-introspection, or at least something wrong with python bindings.

yeah, finally i recompiled some of the packages again and now it's working fine

Great, nice to hear that.

Hey willysr,

I would like to say that you've done an awesome work on Cinnamon.

I've just a little question about your build :

Is your Cinnamon build compatible with the ALSA audio stack provided by Slackware ?

@Nh3xus:
I only tested on VM, not yet on a real machine, so i can't give a precise answer on that, but the sound level is detected just fine here

FYI, i'm doing a second round of testing on a clean VM again just to make sure it works out of the box, since when i removed all packages yesterday and started a new compilation, some packages got broken (again). Hopefully this time, i got it fixed

so is this still where one says hey slack-cinnamon not working, or you got somewhere else to go to for that.

I just update it today off of what is in git and settings and add applets off the tool bar not working. that is all I've seen thus far.

That's because you posted in a thread that hasn't been responded to in over 5 years. I think you are looking for this one:

Oh thanks, I just googled slackware cinnamon and grabbed the first link I seen for LQ. I just made a zombie.

let me go to the right one, and post this, and hopefully this one will die soon.
