TigerVNC Cinnamon session on Fedora 17

http://unix.stackexchange.com – I'm trying to properly start a Cinnamon (2D) session in tigervnc-server on Fedora 17 "Beefy Miracle". The only way I currently know to accomplish this is to modify the file /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients. The first line originally looks like this: GSESSION="$(type -p gnome-session)" and I'm changing it to GSESSION="$(type -p gnome-session-cinnamon2d)" The problem with this approach is, that this change is reverted if the xorg-x11-xinit package is updated, which already happened to me. Is there a better way to do this, without having to reset it each time I update my system? (HowTos)

Stories similar to TigerVNC Cinnamon session on Fedora 17

I have just installed Arch Linux first time on Virtual Box. The minimal installation was successful. After that I installed Xorg, again which was successful as I was able to create an X-session with 3 terminals and a clock. Then I installed 'cinnamon' as GDE. Now I am unable to start a graphical session for normal user using 'xinit /usr/bin/cinnamon'.

Cinnamon crashing too 16 weeks 5 days ago

Thanks Trilby,I unchecked all items from Cinnamons applets and gnome-session-properties. Cinnamon still fails.

Thanks for the link schwim. I added gnome-session-cinnamon to the slim config and was able to login to cinnamon

Sorry if that came off as snappy.  Been dealing with this for the last hour,and its been stressful.   Here is my current xinitrc:#!/bin/sh # # ~/.xinitrc # # Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)

#if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then # for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do # [ -x "$f" ] && .

OS: Linux Mint 14 Cinnamon

$ cat .xsession xmessage -file /etc/motd /usr/bin/cinnamon

why do not I get the same look and feel as i do get without the above .xsession file? it also affects a few things

when i open a terminal, i cannot see what i type log out button looks different and does not logout on press

why does /usr/bin/cinnamon need to run in the foreground?

Gnome-session issues over SSH 3 years 17 weeks ago

Hey guys Ive had this problem with 3 versions of Fedora now. Currently using version 12.

Cinnamon is a LinuxMint project, a fork of Gnome Shell. Cinnamon comes with a Gnome2-like panel at bottom, with classic menu, favourite apps, and system tray icons on it. Cinnamon also has Gnome Shell Activity icon on top-left with “Windows & Themes”.

Cinnamon just released 1.1.3 version few hours ago with improvements of menu, panel launcher, etc.

Hi!

I have Ubuntu 12.10 system with TwinView dualhead setup. I have correct Xorg.conf generated by nvidia-settings.

hi, I would like connect to a Fedora linux desktop by using vnc with a couple login/passwd and take the control of the current user session. I v installed vncserver (tigervnc) and x11vnc.

I v configured an user session in /etc/sysconfig/vncserver and launch vncserver :1 -name user. I can connect remotly but it's a gui root session. How take the current user session and see what he do?
