Hi,

I'm Fale, one of the cinnamon maintainer of Fedora and I was working on a Cinnamon Spin too. Due to the big amount of work I'm doing during these months, I kind of left it behind. I can join you with this project if you want too :).

Thanks a lot, Fabio

Thank you, I would definitely appreciate any assistance. Right now the spin is rather simple, it is using the fedora-live-base.ks, installing the cinnamon-desktop group and otherwise mostly following the XFCE spin's kickstart for setting up lightdm and the liveuser.

Hello, I have put together a basic Cinnamon Live spin, and was wondering if this is something people would like to see become official. It's not ready for submission quite yet, there is a bit of a hack to change the default gtk-theme to Zukitwo, as the Adwaita gtk-theme messes up title-bar and desktop icon colors (something that should probably be fixed upstream, this happens for any Cinnamon install by default in F21).

Please file a bug report.

I'm not a Fedora packager nor do I have a whole lot of time to put into this, but I am willing to update and maintain the spin as necessary.

Spins do take sometime regularly and you should either be actively working with the Cinnamon maintainers in Fedora or be a co-maintainer yourself but now that you have gotten a headstart, hopefully others can step in and take it forward working with you if you are interested/have that time. Thanks!

Thanks for the information. I have filed a bug report as I didn't find one existing about this issue: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1176370

I have the kickstart files in this github repo: https://github.com/Grinnz/spin-kickstart-cinnamon And resulting images, which I have briefly tested and installed in a VM: https://grinnz.com/public/spins-cinnamon/

I added a skeleton wiki page as well: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cinnamon_Spin

I successfully installed the cinnamon x86_64.iso via f21 liveusb-creator with the (dd) option [1] and installed it to Bare metal from the USB.

Thanks for this build I hope it becomes a spin.

I included links to your build here: [1] http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Fedora_22#liveusb-creator

NOTE: Install error anaconda 21.48.21-1 (liveinst) **(anaconda:2201) : Warning **: Binding '<shift>Print' failed! repeated many times in terminal.

Thank you for the feedback. I will look into these, but I don't know much about anaconda.

Dan, thank for the new but the download links for the spin (wiki skeleton) isn't available :(

Update: Cinnamon is now using an updated version of the Zukitwo gtk-theme and I have re-spinned isos at https://grinnz.com/public/spins-cinnamon/ . Once the next cinnamon update goes through the workaround to set the gtk-theme can be removed. IMO the spin is now suitable for further testing and development for inclusion in the fedora spins, if anyone is up to the task.
