Greetings! I installed openSuse 12.2 today. I could not find Cinnamon and was wondering what I need to do to install it. Thank you!
There are third party repositories. Please note I have not tested them personally to recommend one.
software.opensuse.org:
Much better link above. ^^
Thank you for this link. I tried it and received the message: the package could not be installed.
It wants to open cinnamon.ymp with YaST 1-Click Install (default), but it tells me the packages could not be installed: cinnamon and cinnamon-menu-editor.
I am not sure if this affects it, but I deleted all partitions and set up:
/swap 30 gb
/home 100 gb
/ remaining gb
I did not create a boot.
*The main thing I was trying to do was remove other OS and just use OpenSuse 12.2. * After deleting the partitions and searching mucho numero mind numbing docs and threads I decided to just go with the partition setup above.
I think this is what other Linux OS had me set up, so I just copied it into OpenSuse.
I see now my system wants me to put my disk 1 in the computer when I try to use Yast. Thank you for any input.
By the way, there was nothing on the computer I wanted to save.
You need an install version of openSUSE, preferably Gnome
Fully patched
The partitions have nothing to do with it.
It may require some user input of an intelligent nature.
I got your intelligent nature. I used the 4.7 GB dvd, don’t know how much full version you can get.

How is all that related to getting Cinnamon, which is the question of
this thread?

The main thing I was trying to do was remove other OS and just use OpenSuse 12.2.
Follow The option here:https://dl.dropbox.com/u/10573557/12.2_liveCD_Install/3_Suggest_Part.jpeg
Then at this screen choose the first option (or if you have more than one HD the one that selects the entire HD you wish to use) https://dl.dropbox.com/u/10573557/12.2_liveCD_Install/4_Custom_Part.jpeg
You should select Gnome for the Dektop (Default is KDE)
Once installed
Run this twice:
zypper patch
Reboot
Now try the cinnamon install by clicking this: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/Cinnamon/12.2/cinnamon.ymp
This assume you are using 12.2
If you encounter any problem with the install, post the details here. There is a ‘expert’ button in any dependency issues that enable you to save the details to file and then copy the text here.
