Cinnamon 1.4.0 is now available for update/download through GNOME:Cinnamon repository. This release includes major features, such a menu editor based on alacarte, a new expo experience and a lot of bug fixes.
Regarding the openSUSE packages there has been some refactoring and some of the changes were:
[ul]
[li]Cinnamon packages were split:[/li][LIST]
[li]cinnamon[/li][li]cinnamon-menu-editor[/li][li]cinnamon-browser-plugins[/li][/ul]
[li]Languages have been merged with the main package to take advantage of the massive updates in Cinnamon translations (this is also related to a bug in lang package generation in non-openSUSE platforms, I often do the builds on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux system).[/li][li]All non-build/customization patches were removed, we now offer a clean upstream experience (everything is tweakable through cinnamon-settings, users are now able to choose how to customize their Desktop Experience);[/li][/LIST]

Cinnamon is made to work on top of a working GNOME3 installation, so before you actually run it, make sure you have a working gnome-shell install. Whatever issues you have it would be interesting to know:
Distribution (I’ve only tested it on 12.1, which should be pretty much the same with Tumbleweed and Factory is broken meanwhile);
You require GDM to login (untested with everything else);
~/.xsession-errors should have whatever issue is making it not work, so I want those logs (ex: SUSE Paste to paste the log).
I did installed a clean GNOME LiveCD (oS 12.1) and then cinnamon and it worked without any issue at all. I’ve also removed the packages for 11.4 since I’m not supporting it because it rellies on additional repositories and I don’t have time to support that.
Hello again, I have installed gnome-shell-3.2.2.1-2.8.1.x86_64 and i cleared the xsession-errors before log out from gnome3.2 and log in in cinnamon 1.4 and here is the actual log SUSE Paste Thanks
I have tested installing Cinnamon on a openSUSE 12.1 KDE LiveCD and GNOME, in both cases a plain
# zypper install cinnamon
does the job and it works. Furthermore:
Cinnamon can be directly installed on KDE based systems, the dependencies are all pulled for Cinnamon to work;
Cinnamon does work ok with KDM;
Cinnamon can be directly installed on GNOME based systems, the dependencies are properly pulled;
Cinnamon cinnamon does work fine with GDM and lightDM.
Please update cinnamon and make sure you are running Cinnamon 1.4.0 and Muffin 1.0.2 (which should be the default install), otherwise try with a LiveCD (GNOME preferred).
I got the same behavior as @morbidwar. When opening Cinnamon nothing else happens – only my Gnome wallpapper and icons, no title bars or any pannel.
Here’s my .xsession-error file:
etc/X11/xim: Checking whether an input method should be started.

I’m also not sure how did you proceed installing Cinnamon from Tumbleweed. Had you performed a dist upgrade (zypper dup) using Tumbleweed before installing Cinnamon? Would you clarify?
Thanks for the clarification!
However it still doesn’t work. I removed the pre-existent cinnamon/muffing packages, installed the Tumbleweed repo and run a “zypper dup --from Tumbleweed”. It upgraded a lot of things, but nothing that I judged “relevant” (it upgraded libreoffice, some xfce packages, clementine and another things). After that I installed Cinnamon using the One Click Install that @caf4926 sent, it did install but still does not work.
Here a screenshot of how Cinnamon is currently running.
I don’t know if it’s the case, but I’m using a Dell Vostro 3450 notebook with a Radeon HD6600m “external” video card, my OpenSUSE is a 12.1 version. The ATI/AMD drivers are correctly installed and Gnome 3 is able to run as it is. However, as everyone else I prefer use the “Gnome 2 Look and Feel” option – hence I’m trying to use Cinnamon because I’m not sure how much time will Gnome still do support to the “Gnome 2 Look and Feel” alternative, and using the Gnome 3 “native” interface is a pain in the ass.
Do you still have any other idea about what may I try?

However, there is something weird, as he says he gets gnome 3 in full mode. :-?
