I installed rawhide in qemu-kvm by updating from default f18 installation in qemu using yum. Then installed the other desktops with sudo yum groupinstall gnome-desktop-environment kde-desktop-environment xfce-desktop-environment lxde-desktop-environment cinnamon-desktop-environment mate-desktop-environment sugar-desktop-environment development-tools Then tried to start cinnamon, it fails immediately with the “Oh no! Something has gone wrong.” frowney screen. (Gnome, KDE, xfce, ... all work). Cinnamon version: $ rpm -q cinnamon cinnamon-1.6.7-7.fc19.x86_64 mfabian@fedora-rawhide-x86_64:~ $ Which logfiles would be useful to attach?
Looks like something is conflicting somewhere. I just did a fresh install of Cinnamon using F18 netinstall CD and it works fine. You installed 7 different DEs. You have most likely display manager conflicts going on there. Check your .xsession-errors and /var/log/messages. Working fine with fresh install of F18/netinst cd/cinnamon/latest packages from updates-testing. http://i.imgur.com/43paZZM.png

There is no .xsession-errors on rawhide when cinnamon starts.
I remember Leigh mentioning some stuff about rawhide issues. I'll upgrade to rawhide and see if it still works.
I don’t know where gdm stores the log nowadays, it used to be here: mfabian@fedora-rawhide-x86_64:~ $ ll .cache/gdm/session.log -rw-------. 1 mfabian mfabian 8757 3月 6 09:34 .cache/gdm/session.log mfabian@fedora-rawhide-x86_64:~ $ date 2013年 3月 11日 月曜日 16:13:30 CET mfabian@fedora-rawhide-x86_64:~ $ but this file is not updated on rawhide when cinnamon starts. So I tweaked /etc/X11/xinit/Xsession a bit to get the log to ~/.xsession-errors again: $ diff -u /etc/X11/xinit/Xsession.orig /etc/X11/xinit/Xsession --- /etc/X11/xinit/Xsession.orig 2013-02-19 05:42:11.000000000 +0100 +++ /etc/X11/xinit/Xsession 2013-03-11 16:10:50.614457614 +0100 @@ -9,7 +9,7 @@ # Foundation, Inc., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA. # redirect errors to a file in user's home directory if we can -if [ -z "$GDMSESSION" ]; then +if [ -z "$xxGDMSESSION" ]; then # GDM redirect output itself in a smarter fashion errfile="$HOME/.xsession-errors" if ( umask 077 && cp /dev/null "$errfile" 2> /dev/null ); then mfabian@fedora-rawhide-x86_64:~ $ Attaching the .xsession-errors produced ...

I haven't seen Leigh in a few weeks so I will try and look into this.
I'm aware of the gjs changes and started porting https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/1620 hopefully others will help as the task is beyond me. https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/1788
Hi Leigh. Thanks for the reply. Glad to see you are OK.
*** Bug 924097 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
After further looking in to this, this is cause by Gnome 3.8. Upstream is looking at fixing this. ETA: none at this time.

I have this kind of working in Fedora 19, Cinnamon 2D and 3D (3d not working as well), lightdm on top of MATE. Proof attached. Leigh, let's sync up on IRC or via email when you get a chance.
*** Bug 959712 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Discussed at 2013-05-06 blocker review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2013-05-06/f19beta-blocker-review-3.2013-05-06-16.02.log.txt . Cinnamon is not a release-blocking desktop, so this bug is by definition not a blocker. However, showstopping bugs in non-release-blocking desktops are accepted as freeze exception issues, so this is rejected as a blocker but accepted as FE.
UPDATE: cinnamon 1.8.2 / muffin 1.8.0 were tested by QA and work. Will try to get this out to the repos by the beta freeze (05-13-13).
nemo-1.8.1-1.fc19,cinnamon-1.8.2-2.fc19,muffin-1.8.0-3.fc19 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 19. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/nemo-1.8.1-1.fc19,cinnamon-1.8.2-2.fc19,muffin-1.8.0-3.fc19
Update has been pushed stable. Looks good to me so far.
Please reopen as this bug have hit back in 1.9.1
(In reply to Knut J BJuland from comment #22) > Please reopen as this bug have hit back in 1.9.1 I doubt it's related to the original report, please post any error logs to confirm this. Did you install any thirdparty applets, extensions or desklets as they haven't been ported for the gjs/gnome-3.8 changes.
