Cinnamon disappeared!

Uh oh. You do not have to enter -s after every sudo command. You just have to enter the one and then you are superuser. What this does, is when you are using terminal, it opens root as a whole..so say you are going through terminal and want to run as root instead of shell. This way you are root. Notice the change before entering commands in the lines? bdoggates@ultimateedition3:~/$ ................after sudo -s becomes.......root@ultimateedition3:~/#

Unix is pure awesome sauce. Being familiar with Unix is in no way a bad idea. You do not have to use Oracle.

It might be a bad idea to use sudo -s though:(.

I have tried getting cinnamon to work on 3.5, checked out the linuxmint romeo repositories and all that and I just don't think KDE and Cinnamon are going to work well at this point. Cinnamon said "Hi" for a moment and then went away. Presumably to tell all its friends how much of a failure I am.
It's worth mentioning that it is not an option in Linuxmint KDE. Since Cinnamon is their thing there may be something to that. It is a continuuing effort. I'm going to try something else, I'll get back to you.

About Nautilus showing KDE files. Nautilus is the file manager for Gnome. So when you are running gnome shell ..(nautilus..shell..get it?..wordplay is fun) you are using nautilus as your file manager. If you are in KDE you will be using Dolphin or Konqueror as file managers, but generally Dolphin. Since they are on the same system they have access to the same files. If you are on Windows the shell/file manager is Explorer. Just so you know, the shell can totally be changed in Windows. To see all the files, open dophin, click on the wrench, click on show hidden files and it makes a whole lot more sense.

Yes I figured is a one time deal only having to enter -s. Thing is in the past when have tried to take command at certain points(building a file, rebooting) I issued the wrong command and was told, no dice! So yes am super grateful on knowing the right way now! I want to assemble my own programs someday, which is just another reason I love Linux! Always loved building stuff cars, models, you name it! I know Dolphin is part of the management system, but is strange and am not giving a line, that I didn't have both file managers working at the same time about a week ago. Now they are! Is kind of cool as both have different ways to do things! So actually is quite an asset! Yeah generally the main command with the Unix one I used was Kdesu dolphin. Figure Oracle should be fairly close, but main issue is finding what Office software they are using and do my best to learn it! A few places out here use it, so will be an asset after graduation! Even though I have to use all MS stuff for school(office software) I am doing my best to make the connection between Libre and MS! Have used KDE systems quite a bit and don't mind them at all! In fact a few of those OS's had great software which helped me to learn more things! Been to Linux Mint before! Too many reloads for that OS! Very surprising and annoying was the fact their premium desktop(Cinnamon) actually had issues! I say Premium since they did much boasting about it! So yes I ran into problems using in on Mint. When I used Sabayon it worked very well. Funny thing is they did not boast it! They just said it would work, which they were quite right! Only issue I ever had on Sabayon & Cinnamon was the temperature add on. Since add-ons get old and sometimes never updated, is the reason won't function anymore. Let's face it, Linux constantly changes and for the better. If you write a program for it, you will have to update it within a few months. Gnome 3 was having issues on there and for me was best to use Cinnamon most of the time. Was just a drag that the eventual cures for Gnome 3 in Sabayon wound up to be disabling a great percentage of the extensions. It left Gnome on the ugly side and not so functional! When I moved to Ultimate, I was so relieved to find most of those functions back and working to the utmost! The last of the functions came back with 3.5 with the Sheer taskbar! I know most would find this a small thing, to me is a real big thing! I absolutely love the look of it! As I have mentioned with College, leaves me on the computer many many hours. I am no genius and some things take me twice as long to learn! I am very very grateful people as yourself have helped me to the best of your ability! Without that I would be lost! Means a real lot to me and can't thank you enough! Gnome also had a real beautiful weather add on a few months back! That also went south. The icons and descriptions were so brilliant am really surprised the author would chose not to rework it! Alas is his/her choice and will just remember it as a great piece of work. One day I hope to write something as brilliant! Will keep trying here and there with Cinnamon also, love the novelty stuff! For now as will always say love my Gnome desktop as is nothing I would ever want to change on it! Looks perfect works the same and all responsible should be quite proud!!!!

Started looking into this situation a little more and is a problem that is not centralized with Ultimate! Since the workings of Ultimate are really great, I theorized this months ago that it has to be some failure within Cinnamon. I have been busy searching for a solution, but it appears many others are suffering the same plight with the same error messages. I found the command "cinnamon --replace which leads to displaying the following message:

bob@bob-System-Product-Name:~$ cinnamon --replace
Window manager warning: Log level 8: gtk_style_context_add_provider: assertion `GTK_IS_STYLE_PROVIDER (provider)' failed
Window manager warning: Log level 16: Unable to register authentication agent: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: An authentication agent already exists for the given subject

(cinnamon:10275): St-WARNING **: percentage lengths not currently supported

I found one site talking about some wording in a java file and linked to it. Is about 900 lines. There was a claim of another file used to repair some lines muffed in it. Am not 100% sure repairing this file is the solution, but when time permits, will work on it! I have the repair file and just have to go in and find the 40 or so lines and replace them! LOL! Maybe this is a good reason to take Java in college? Am hopeful I am on the right track and will do my best to let all know. There is still another post in 3.4 that is also curious to this situation, so am hopeful to solve this issue some time as to all of us that want to use Cinnamon novelty wise or full time can! Wish me luck, need it am no Einstein!!! All is worth it cause Ultimate is the best and deserves to always run as it should!!!! All was meant to run on the money and am confident there is a way to solve this problem so everyone can enjoy!!!
