Failed to load session "cinnamon"

CrazyTux · 2013-10-27 08:20:17

I just did a pacman -Syu, and it upgraded cinnamon to 2.0.6. When I restarted for something else, I got this error message while trying to log in. What happened? When I typed startx from the CLI, with 'exec cinnamon-session' in .xinitrc, I got the same thing.
I'm using GDM 3.10.0.1 and Cinnamon 2.0.6

same here.

Ittle info:
[2013-10-27 09:54] [PACMAN] upgraded cinnamon-desktop (2.0.1-1 -> 2.0.2-1)

[2013-10-27 09:54] [PACMAN] upgraded cinnamon (2.0.2-2 -> 2.0.6-1)

Any way to stop that? Do you know if something has changed?

dif · 2013-10-27 10:55:51

As a temporary solution I have reinstalled to the previous version:

# pacman -U cinnamon-2.0.2-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

from the /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ directory.
I did not reinstall the other cinnamon elements, and it worked.

I am not sure, but the environment feels a tiny fraction of a second slower now. Or maybe it is a false impression.

Same problem here.
Journalctl gives an error: Unable to find required component 'cinnamon-fallback-mount-helper', but nothing else.

Thanks dif for that temporary fix suggestion.

HaRDi · 2013-10-27 11:18:58

I used downgrader

downgrader cinnamon

All of cinnamon packages where updated excepte for cinnamon-settings-daemon where cinnamon-fallback-mount-helper lives, which I think the cause of the error.

messo8080 · 2013-10-27 11:45:29

I downgrade cinnamon-control-center from 2.0.5-1 to version 2.0.2-1 and same error.
you have to downgrade package cinnamon to previouse version.

for begginers:

sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/cinnamon-2.0.2-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

I have the same error, but i recently cleared pacmans cache.... So another solution would be nice.

You can download it from the New ARM (x64 version) New ARM (i686 version). See the ARM Wiki for details.

dfanz0r. I put up a link to my dropbox you can download the old version from.

sergi34 · 2013-10-27 15:29:14

same problem here.

I've changed "exec cinnamon-session" for "startxfce4" until it is solved

hmm, didnt know about that, Thanks.

klindqvist · 2013-10-27 17:46:34

I too have this problem, tried running it as a diffrent user with a clean home directory but it did not help

baenre · 2013-10-27 17:50:40

Had the same issue, downgrading the "cinnamon" package through the ARM worked. Thanks for the tip.

I see this has been reported as a bug here: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/37517

Please vote it up as I can confirm I am also having this problem as well. This is the entry from journalctl -b:

You'll need to create an account on the bugtracker, log-in with it and then you can vote it up.

EDIT: Ok, so I see rumblings on the github that it doesn't just effect us. I am going to do some testing on my Linux Mint installation and see whether that is affected as well.

Thanks a lot. I decided to give Cinnamon a try today, so I of course didn't have a previous version in cache. This worked like a charm.

Roland Deschain · 2013-10-28 03:39:00

Exact same issue here. I just set up my desktop with Cinnamon this morning and had the issue. My laptop was updated, but I'm fine with just leaving it on until upstream can fix it.

I ocassonally see updates for Cinnamon componets rolling in, so hopefully it will be fixed soon.

silent · 2013-10-28 05:20:35

Fixed

Latest package Cinnamon at 2.0.6-2 in the repos resolves this problem. Just tested it, so update to it.
