cinnamon crashes after install + Hello

Sushiant · Mar 6, 2015

Hello everyone.

At first, I would say hello to all of FreeBSD people (administrators and members) who are trying to make it better.

I am using FreeBSD on VirtualBox and now have a problem with starting cinnamon, and making port in /usr/ports/x11/cinnamon/.

I used $ sudo pkg install cinnamon to install it, and add exec gnome-session-cinnamon in ~/.xinitrc. But when I run it at startup, it crashes.

Also I have MATE (de) on my FreeBSD, and it works great.

Any help?

Best Regards,
Sushiant

Try putting the following line in your ~/.xinitrc file instead:

Code:

exec cinnamon-session

There is also a fallback software-rendering mode that can be started with the following in ~/.xinitrc instead:

Code:

exec cinnamon-session-cinnamon2d

I got this from the following FreeBSD desktop how-to site:
