Ubuntu Cinnamon Remix

Completely average intranet internate state controlled Ubuntu HDD push over the pullover pulling back the HP contemporary car inmate ;)

I like Ubuntu as base for it's stability and relayability, and the software used standardly is more common to my preferences. The most enoying was my desktop preference for Cinnamon. With the fact it will be officialy supported by Ubuntu I'll hope soon for upgrades and optimisation of this environment in a near futur. I do not use the Cinnamon Remix iso, because I do not use almost none of the software distributed with it, and no option to install without it is available. I only need the base system, as I use Google Workspace for all desktop software needs. Webmin, Wireguard, Bind, Spotify from snaps and Steam and Wine for gaming. Thus only system tools (gedit, gparted, gnome-disks, gnome-software, deepin image viewer, document viewer, gnome-calculator, hardware listener, ...) are required. No games, no libre-office, no Firefox (as it is should be a user choice to select the browser he likes) and no many more .... I just need Ubuntu Cinnamon ! I've tested the installation of Ubuntu server 22.04.3 LTS with Cinnamon 5.2.7 lastly, and still has many errors when loading slick-greeter at boot (xorg testing with lightdm) I also tested it with wayland and could it get to load the desktop but had to install it with gdm instead of lighdm. Therefor unity-greeter was used instead of the slick-greeter. But I couldn't reproduce the working installation from scratch twice. I've also made tests first with the 22.04 and also with Mint Vanessa. I've made at that time a bash script availble on github for easy resolving issues I had and installing propriarity software automaticaly. I was a Askubuntu user - topic name: how-do-i-install-the-cinnamon-desktop See github for user wingarmac and repo Bash-installer-menu for more details about my bash menu for Cinnamon on Ubuntu. It still resolves the network applet issue, and makes it easy to install cinnamon, or add the Vannessa repos to do so before. (watch with that option of setting the Vanessa repos for not crash the all thing, because you can't reverse it) So, I would like to ask to consider to add an option in the setup process to install only the system and system-tools, without additional software. I also tested the last iso in vmbox, that can't load it because of an intramfs error for writing on the drive: ... 0.740641] initramfs unpacking failed: write error 1.013384] failed to execute /init (error -2) ... Cheers !

Running remix 20.04.5 on a HPxw4400 with 4GB memory and 2 TB HDD with the latest BIOS version 2.7 which doesn't support EFI. I like the default GUI configuration and included applications. Just received the invitation to upgrade to 22.10 and gave it a go. The system on reboot couldn't find hd0.0 and failed to start. Upon further investigation it appears the issue is either in grub configuration or that the BIOS doesn't support EFI. The solution was to boot from the 20.04.5 DVD open a file fold for the FAT boot partition and remove all files associated with the 5-15.0-58 kernel (config, initrd.img, System-map and vmlinuz).

Very nice & close to Linux Mint. I don't know why this isn't an official Cononical offering. Keep up the great work!

I use Rufus 3.17.1846 to get ubuntu or debian iso's to my USB drives when trying them out. thats what I recommend but also its windows software, but its the best way to do that as far as I know. ok, so I have a question why is it linking to 22.04 testing instead of 21.10 which is the current stable version? I noticed from the download link at ubuntucinnamon.org that it doesn't say anything in the blog on their website about the release of 22.04 which says is testing but instead of them linking the download to the current stable version they instead of it linking to the testing version which is great if the testing version is stable, otherwise thats not so good, I plan on trying both iso, with Rufus 3.17.1846 windows software to my USB drives to see which of the versions seem most stable before installing them, I am also looking at KDE neon to see how it compares it looks alot alike in the desktop images of them, I tried ubuntu budgie already which is kind of mac desktop like, and these seem to copy the windows style a bit more, that budgie version of 21.10 has some bugs in it, I got errors on that desktop version on my gigabyte desktop.
