Description Mike FABIAN 2013-03-11 19:37:50 UTC
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?

Comment 1 Dan Mashal 2013-03-12 03:26:40 UTC
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.

Yes, it works on F18. This report is for rawhide.

There is no .xsession-errors on rawhide when cinnamon starts.

Comment 3 Dan Mashal 2013-03-12 06:46:02 UTC
I remember Leigh mentioning some stuff about rawhide issues. I'll upgrade to rawhide and see if it still works.

Comment 4 Mike FABIAN 2013-03-12 06:49:00 UTC
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

I haven't seen Leigh in a few weeks so I will try and look into this.

Comment 10 leigh scott 2013-03-15 16:22:16 UTC
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.

Hi Leigh. Thanks for the reply. Glad to see you are OK.

Comment 13 Dan Mashal 2013-04-17 22:08:25 UTC
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.

Comment 18 Adam Williamson 2013-05-06 16:34:00 UTC
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.

Comment 19 Dan Mashal 2013-05-09 05:50:37 UTC
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).

Comment 20 Fedora Update System 2013-05-09 13:47:58 UTC
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.

Update has been pushed stable.

Looks good to me so far.

Comment 22 Knut J BJuland 2013-07-13 09:09:19 UTC
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.
