Cannot install Cinnamon on Debian. Is this environment compatible with it?
Unix & Linux Asked on October 31, 2021
One year and half ago, I tried to install my new Debian 9 computer with Cinnamon : it failed and froze at installation. Because I had no Linux knowledge I installed Gnome instead.
Today, I am on Debian 10 and I did a try on an Debian 10 VM to be safe… With Cinnamon again, and I installed it that way :
sudo apt-get install cinnamon-desktop-environment cinnamon-l10n -y
- The VM started,
- after login a Debian wallpaper screen appeared. But it was empty : no icons, no menus, nothing.
- Then 30 seconds after a crash message came.
Is Cinnamon definitely not compatible with Debian ?
One Answer
I've just installed Debian 10 in VirtualBox using default settings and everything works as expected.
Cinnamon is fully supported by Debian since it's included. You could try installing Cinnamon using tasksel: https://linuxhint.com/install_cinnamon_debian_10/
