I have just installed 12.10, but my graphic card doesn't support Unity (3D) and I installed Cinnamon.

My problem is that when I go to open Cinnamon it's like GNOME (when I go to GNOME there is the same, no changes). It's not like Cinnamon and when I try to put something in the desktop I can't.

My question is, how can I do for make Cinnamon run?

    Please give me original (on your language) of "it's like gnome (when I go to gnome there is the same, no changes). It's not like cinnamon and when I try to put something in the desktop I can't." That sentences don't have some sense. I fixed some of your bad grammar :)

  • @pablo. You need to be more specific. I use the same setup 12.10 with Cinnamon with no issues. Its not clear what you are asking. What are you trying to put on you desktop? Are you selecting the correct environment at log in? Jan 14, 2013 at 15:58
  • ZDroid en mi lengua quiere decir que cuando entro a gnome sale exactamente lo mismo que en cinnamon

  • @pablo, your post should be in the form of a question, since that's what this site is set up for. Can you please rewrite you post so that you're asking something and not just listing off the problems you're having? Thanks.

Use dconf-editor. Go to org.gnome.desktop.background and tick "Show desktop icons".

I have the same problem and I found the answer at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2076524 .
