Topic: Cinnamon-session

Did a new install of Milky Way v0.2.5. But cannot launch Cinnamon-session because of dependencies on systemd.  I tried editing with Dconf but no luck.

Suggestions?

Re: Cinnamon-session

Indeed. I suggest that you open a bug to report it, here is the full error message :

cinnamon-session: error while loading shared libraries: libsystemd.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Meanwhile, you can install xfce or mate instead.

Cinnamon is down right power hungry. I would anyday of the week prefer XFCE or Trinity when it becomes available for Hyperbola rather than that annoying DE.

meh...

But yeah, rant aside, Devuan does need libsystemd for testing and unstable I believe... so yeah... Kudos to emulatorman!

We should definitely send some money to them via transferwise. I already have btw.

Re: Cinnamon-session

Besides cinnamon is on the list for removal. Perhaps it'll come back with version 0.5 but I have doubt about it as desktop-environments like Gnome and some more include even more functionality from systemd over time and this takes even more work for removal. Work and time which could be better used elsewhere on the way towards a free, libre BSD.

btw i have downloaded cinnamon yesterday and there was the same bug libsystemd needed haha ;p.

Well, good for a removal as this desktop-environment is just therefore not functional without systemd. wink
