I have Cinnamon installed on my 14.10 system and recently it stopped working properly. Maybe I did a bad config and therefore want to completely (200%) delete and reset all data belonging to this for having a fresh clean installation later.
The original question about how to solve the issue was this one, but nobody answers, so I ask for it a bit different.
I already performed sudo apt-get purge cinnamon
as well as gsettings reset-recursively org.cinnamon
, but after any reinstallation it still suffered from the same error.
Please help me to understand what happened and how to get rid of the bad setting I think is responsible for this.
apt-get autoremove
andautoclear
which deleted some other cinnamon packages. Then I deleted the~/.cinnamon
and~/.config/cinnamon-sessions
. I will now reinstall it and check if it works. Thank you so far.apt-get clean
should remove installation packages. May be you can look for them in/tmp
sudo apt-get autoclean
(spellling error in comment above), which obviously it did not delete them. I will try looking in /tmp later as I am currently surfing with another pc.
