Ubuntu 14.04 Installation Cinnamon Desktop environment

May 26, 2014

Mint Open Source Network, Mintos, the network as its name, the most natural concern is also Linux Mint this distrowatch ranked first Linux distribution. The previous Linux Mint Cinnamon RC version still has a problem with FCITX, resulting in the use of FCITX rename in the Nemo File Manager to be stuck or flashing.

've seen, there is less time than blue. Use Ubuntu for the time being, but I really don't like Unity, so install Cinnamon and try it. The process is very simple, intentional toss, with blood ties grass seems.

Turn on Ubuntu system settings.

In software and updates-other software, add the Cinnamon the latest version of the PPA source address.

ppa:gwendal-lebihan-dev/cinnamon-nightly

After the add succeeds, close the settings.

Then open the terminal and update the software source cache:

sudo apt-get update

At this point, you can start installing Cinnamon.

sudo apt-get install cinnamon

Installation is complete, but also to upgrade the relevant software.

sudo apt-get upgrade

Then reboot and select Cinnamon in the login window.

Once logged in, the familiar Cinnamon is present.

Small partners can see, although it is Cinnamon, but absolutely no Linux mint Cinnamon Beautiful, interested to make it more like a Mint friend, can contact blood ties grass Oh, I toss Cinnamon is still very much experience, and recently collected 2 good-looking Cin Namon theme.

Through this toss, presumably some friends will understand: Linux Mint is not on the basis of Ubuntu on a different desktop environment. But in the icon, theme, features tools, software collocation and so on a great effort, and is not a common mix and mix, but to achieve very unified, coordination.
