gsettings set org.cinnamon.desktop.wm.preferences num-workspaces 4

I found this command will create whatever number you specificy. However I want a way to create a new workspace without having to know how many are already created. The use case for this is to create a shortcut key to add a new workspace no matter how many exist already. I do this in xfce as it has a command to create a new workspace.

Hello,

I've been trying to solve the issue by searching in various forums etc. But the problem doesn't seem to be too obvious and couldn't find a solution.

Basically whenever I interact with Cinnamon environment using the touchscreen, the desktop session is very prone to crashing. It affects taskbar, Cinnamon native apps (Nemo, Xed, Terminal etc.), applets.

It manifests as touch events hitting the objects behind the area of activated components:

• touching the items inside applet windows causes touch events to interact with applications/desktop behind the area of applet itself (ie. choosing categories in Menu applet causes interaction with desktop)
• selecting drop down menu items causes the touch events to interact with main window of the application (for example it's impossible to choose show hidden files in Nemo using touchscreen)

If the action is repeated, it leads to crashing the desktop environment and return to the login session.

Here's detailed info of my system specs:

The issue is persistent on fresh install, running live image from the USB. it also affects MATE DE and it happens on Cinnamon version of other distributions (I tried Fedora). The touchscreen works correctly in Gnome 3.28/3.30 environment however where it doesn't cause crashes (I tried with both Fedora/Mint).

Also the issue doesn't affect applications like Chrome browser, Steam, Gnome apps in Cinnamon session etc. generally not provided with distribution.

I would like to use the latest stable version of Cinnamon on the Ubuntu 18.04. Is it possible ? If yes, please tell me how. Thanks.

Would it be possible to have multiple pages of desktop icon like is possible with stardock fences for windows, I've missed this feature since i left windows a few years ago

Library packages must be named according to the lib's soversion number.

For NetBSD and other non-systemd platforms, cinnamon-session crashes in various ways because the org.cinnamon.desktop.session keys:

• session-manager-uses-logind
• settings-daemon-uses-logind

Are unconditionally set to true regardless of whether the system actually uses systemd or not. For NetBSD it's easy I just patched the dconf file to set it to false but this project would benefit from a check and replace at configure time with meson since some linux distributions don't use systemd.

It replaces working keys with ['']

Hi.
I know this might not be a cinnamon desktop issue, but my hope is that you can help me finding out where to report this bug.
Basically, sometimes, when I connect an external monitor to my linux, using HDMI, it works pretty well. Some other times, the screen freezes, and only the mouse moves. Keyboard does nothing, and can't even change from X to the text consoles.
Thanks
Alberto

The Welcome Screen for 18.3 does not abide by the user preferences for single or double click rule on icons.

Please could you implement a vertical and horizontal grid and a option to change the grid size?
Right now you only can adjust to a vertical grid, but elements won't align horizontally.

Version 4.0.10-1 (on debian) - two change desktop background options on desktop right-click, top one works

All - For ubuntucinnamon-wallpapers package: Suggestion for the backgrounds to show everything inside and beyond /usr/share/backgrounds, such as a budgie folder inside with more backgrounds

I would propose to improve tiling. Currently there is possible to tile minimal 1/4 of screen. I would propose even half more - this means 1/8 of screen.
Shortcut keys Super+arrow is great - just pressing repeatedly like currently would be great.
This would be useful to be configurable e.g. from Settings->Window menu:

• Maximum window tiling:
  • 1/4 window
  • 1/8 window
    This tiling improvement could be useful especially for large screens.

Another improvement would be to keep e.g. ALT pressed while Super is pressed and then moving arrow keys would resize window. Currently there are unassigned shortcut keys to resize vertically and horisontally - I would propose to add Super+ALT+arrow for them. If this is assigned already then choose something similar else.
Possibly there would be useful to get some ideas from i3 window manager - http://i3wm.org/ - how to effectively use screen layout.

with slideshow enabled in cinnamon 3.2.1 i see a little bug at boot, in the first 2 seconds before the desktop is loaded my wallpapers switch very fast, still the same on 1 minute or 6 minutes - its littlebit annoying, maybe a feature :D

hi
i want to creae 3 layers of application in menu but after define level 2..all apps gather in one place.
look:

Mint 18 Cinnamon amd64. If I run Gimp from the gimp-edge PPA or build it myself from git master, the Gimp menu bar only shows the 'File' menu item. The other menus (Edit, View, Select, etc) are not visible, but they are actually there, because if I click on the File menu and then use the left arrow on the keyboard, I see each of the other menus drop down as they become active, and I can select any of the menu items and they work as expected.

If I change the Cinnamon System Settings for Themes, Settings, 'Show icons in menus' to OFF, then all items in the Gimp menu bar menu become visible.

Linux Mint 18 "Sarah" x64
after I enabled root login from login window, the desktop icons are disappeared, also right click not work, it's working normaly on another user

i am very impressed by the way gnome has introduced message tray at bottom of screen.
it would be great if Linux mint has same functionality but this messge tray would
pop up at top of screen if we hit a hotcorner. we can use space more eficiently like adding message etc

On many occasions, the mouse does not convert to a waiting symbol for an icon/executable that is currently opening and has not made an appearance on the desktop. As a result, the user may click a second time causing multiple executable requests and having the OS open many application windows.

One example where this occurs is the 18.3 Welcome Screen.

Linux Mint 19.2 64bit
Reproduced on other Mint PC's

### Issue, how to reproduce etc.
If we change the default setting for alignment of icons on our desktop more to the left(if we are keeping the icons on the default left side),
and if we then add some icon with a long name like for example "GNU Image Manipulation Program" from the menu program list "add to desktop",
then the icon will be aligned more to the right then the rest. It looks like it's happening in order to keep the whole text in the screen area.
After we move the icon to other place it aligns correctly, but the text is out of the screen area.

I am not sure if this is the right place to post this issue as I have not tried to reproduced this on any other distro with cinnamons.

Steps to reproduce:

1. When typing, press CTRL+SHIFT+E,
2. Try to input some other words, and it was not as expected.

In some input areas Ctrl+Shift+E would interrupts following keyboard inputs.
It happened in following places so far:

• in the search area of the menu
• entering address in firefox
• gnome-terminal

It did not happen in hexchat(the only place where the reproducing failed).
And I also found that after press the ENTER key, the keyboard works again.

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	LinuxMint
Description:	Linux Mint 19.2 Tina

The theme used is Mint-Y-Dark. And I reproduced this with theme Cinnamon
Thank you for your attention.

I also tested a live image on the VM, it was with an underlined e and following inputs(the undelined e and the following inputs are hidden on my machine). CTRL+SHIFT+E is used to enter emoji.

It is weird that I do not see it configured in ibus-setup. And I get nothing with the cmd below:

$ gsettings get org.freedesktop.ibus.panel.emoji hotkey

Dear all,

I was just facing this situation and recall that Ubuntu with Unity has/had a feature to easily add an "unknown" program to the menu by right mouse click on the left launcher panel icon.

In my case I ran a snap package for which there is no entry in the menu. Obviously, running the snap from the command line is inconvenient.

I would find it logical and a sensible enhancement if I could do a right mouse click on the entry of the program in the window list and then select an option to add this program to the menu.

In my concrete example:

1. Right mouse click on "Writefull"
2. Select the option "Add to menu"

What do you think?

Sound works on laptop.
(Radeon) hdmi gets plugged in.
Audio changed to hdmi. Works on TV.
Unplug HDMI. No sound on laptop.

Workaround. Plug HDMI back in.
Select internal sound.
Unplug HDMI.
Laptop sound works again.
Problem is I only see 1 of 2 sound sources when HDMI is not plugged in.

Tried alsamixer. No luck.
Not an issue in mint 17.
2 Sound sources stay selectable without HDMI being plugged in.

In Cinnamon 18.2 Beta, when I log out and log in again, the desktop wallpaper I've set gets jumbled up. - I then have to choose another wallpaper and then the old one, and everything gets restored.

and here as it should be (after I set the wallpaper anew): http://imgur.com/a/3Cdz1

See the file 'INSTALL'. If you are not using a released version of
cinnamon-desktop (for example, if you checked out the code from git), you
first need to run './autogen.sh'.

Currently there hibernate works but it will not restore the previous session. I would propose to set it up in such way that there would be possible to use hibernation even if swap is encrypted.
Here is one idea - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnableHibernateWithEncryptedSwap - this should be asked right away from user when installing as whole disk encrypted or activating encryption later - would I set up permanent password for swap to make possible restore session when hibernating or not. If user will answer yes then this should all be set up after installing.

Mint 18.1 'Serena' Cinnamon 64 bits
Every time I plug a USB device (my phone or USB flash; but USB mouse is ok) in a port (any usb port), my desktop stops working. This happens exactly at the moment when a new popup opens allowing me to explore the device.
I cannot click on any icon or any file in my desktop, however I can still access them through "~home/desktop/whatever.txt". The desktop background picture disappears, it turns black.
This issue happens always.
Everything else keeps working as usual (the Menu button, the low panel.. all other software and internet work fine).

Allow the ability and associated key binding to switch to the last visited workspace. Dexpot window manager (windows) has this capability as the following screen print shows:

keybinding in 'org.cinnamon.desktop.keybindings.wm' should be something like 'switch-to-last-workspace'

Resizing a window much more wider than the screen makes cinnamon crash. I am running Cinnamon version 2.6.13 on Linux Mint 17.2.

I don't know if you already know this but I didn't find any issue here about it.

1. Linux Mint 18 'Sarah'. Cinnamon 64-bits. Kernel 4.4.0-34. Resolution 1366 x 768.
2. I put my laptop in Suspend mode. Then I turn it 'ON'.
3. The fonts from the task bar and menu disappear and the battery percent font turned black.
4. This happened one time.

The links created by Mint should take into consideration the shared security on a shared data drive , be it internal or a USB / eSATA external drive .

Ich möchte von Fedora auf Mint Debian migrieren, das stabiler ist und Cinnamon macht es nichts aus, sehr reaktionsschnell und scheint nicht zu viele Ressourcen zu verbrauchen.

Ich habe gelesen, dass ein neues "LMDE Debby" veröffentlicht wird. Aber wann?

After the resolution changed(16:9->4:3),the icon on the desktop(especailly those at the corner) get overlapped.

How about at least give us a warning before this happened?
Or the arrangement of icons on desktop use “align center”

I know ya'll have your share of compiler warnings in this project anyway (I usually run -Wno-error) but this caught my eye:

Issue

I have a Dell UP2414Q monitor which requires the display to be split in two halves using DisplayPort Multi-Stream Transport (MST). On Linux I get the two halves of the monitor on separate displays. I.e. both halves have a separate login window, and after login, only one half has the task bar. Both displays are swapped (right display on left part of monitor). On nVidia hardware I can use the Xorg option TwinView to turn these displays into one.

To achieve this on Radeon hardware, I read that I need amdgpu version 19.0.1 to make use of MST tiling support. So I upgraded the default amdgpu version 18.0.1 to 19.0.1 using the famous oibaf repo.

After a reboot, it seems to be a success. I only have one single login window spanning the entire monitor. No more (swapped) separate halves.

However, after login, Cinnamon crashes and starts in software mode.

Steps to reproduce

1. Use an MST High DPI monitor with Cinnamon 4.2 and xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu 19.0.1.

MST monitors are often high-end monitors used by professional designers and photographers with a tendency to work on OSX or Windows. I hope there is a Cinnamon developer out there with (access to) this hardware so they can test/verify this.

Expected behaviour

After login, Cinnamon works fine on one monitor with the panel AKA task bar spanning both "halves".

Other information

I'm also curious if there is a different method to achieve the desired display on amdgpu 18.0.1 in the meantime. I.e. an alternative to nVidia's TwinView, TwinViewXineramaInfoOverride, and nvidiaXineramaInfoOrder.

1. Pull the right edge of gnome-terminal to an 'extreme' length by the mouse
2. When its size extends the 251 width a kind of 'shadow' frame appears around the window's normal frame which corrupts the desktop screen!
3. This always happens and 'undo-able' by decreasing the window size

Hi,

On websites where I click on Browse to upload files, the file dialog loses focus, so I can't use the keyboard to type the first letter of the file. I have to use the mouse to click on the name input field first. I am using Linux Mint 17 with Cinnamon. I also have the issue as #1318152, and in addition, the issue I described above. Please the how the dialog title is dimmed (?) in the attachment below.

Linux Mint 17 'Qiana' - Cinnamon 64 bit

NVidia video driver version 304.117 and 304.121

When pressing Ctrl+Alt+up arrow to display the workspace switcher panel, characters rendered by Cinnamon are replaced with partial rendering only - that is black squares where the characters would be, or in some cases letter shaped shadows, and the vanilla mint menu icon is displayed. Attached screenshot shows that time desklet is also affected. Applications are not affected, so it does not appear to be a general driver rendering issue.

Using the Ctrl+Alt+L & R arrow keys to switch workspaces or the workspace switcher taskbar applet does not affect rendering at all, so the issue appears to be related to the rendering of the workspace switching panel itself. Possibly switches to a specific rendering mode and does not switch back?

This happened when using the recommended driver (304.117) and the newer driver from NVidia (304.121), so I think it may be a general driver interaction issue. I don't know whether it happens in the Nouveau driver - I never use that.

Problem is reproducible approximately 70% of the time.

I'd like to be able to set the computer to suspend when inactive - and when on AC power - after two hours. (Why? Well, my computer gets a bit hot after a while, but I don't want it to go into a deep sleep after only one hour . . I note that Windows - or at least Windows 8 - offers a wider range of time options than, at present, does Mint.)

Mint 18.1 x64 Cinnamon (3.2.7).

In the wallpaper options, when i change the aspect of the image, it shows the gradient option
But when i choose an option that should cover all the screen, the gradient option, disappears, just as it should, if the image is a .jpg
Because when you have a .png image with transparency, you can make the wallpaper area cover all the screen, and still have transparency filled with the gradients

The 'solution' for now is change to a option that let you change the gradient, and then return to see the changes, but it doesn't makes sense this way

I have a kind of unusual monitor set up with two in landscape and a third in portrait orientation. When I try to span a wallpaper in Cinnamon instead of the expected result of the wallpaper covering the whole area as in other desktop systems, it only seems to cover the smallest area. Here's a reporesentation of what I have and the result I'm getting:

What I would like is for the wallpaper to fill a bounding box that encompasses all monitors and zoom to fit that with cropping as necessary.

This seems to be an issue in gnome-desktop but I'm posting it here since I don't use Gnome. The responsible file looks to be /libcinnamon-desktop/gnome-bg.c but I don't have enough of a grasp of what all the functions do to figure out where the exact problem lies.

The backlight key works fine in setting the backlighting, however the icon that displays does not show any change to the 'progress' bar underneath it.

Picked up from Cinnamon Nightly, so please ignore if this represents a change in progress

Currently the systray unmount utility does not mount completely. I still have to right-click on the device in Nemo file manager and choose "Safe remove". I would propose the unmount utility should do it right away.
