Thank you very much smil99, I'll redo a package with your changes, adding 'dbus-daemon - system' for each startup.
Thanks to you we'll can get a cinnamon stable and ready to use.

Thanks for your kind patience !

We will succeed!

New Cinnamon package :
-Install package an simply launch "xwin gnome-session-cinnamon", don't need to restart.
I saved, rebooted, and Cinnamon works. I rebooted 6 times, I think it's enough

Maybe the final package ?

Smil99 had a great idea by renaming .desktop files, so preventing them get started, and thus improving stability !
I added "dbus-daemon --system" in rc.local, to launch the process to each startup.

Hi jejy69
I installed cinnamon version 3 provided by you on a pristine install and I can happily confirm that cinnamon now survives after reboots.
Hooray!
Thanks for your efforts and cooperation.

Will post back if I encounter any show-stopper again.

Cheers.

Hi Jejy69, just wanted to let you know this. I uninstalled current Abiword, and then installed your new Abiword from your Sourceforge page. It installs and works, but it installs to Utility, not Document, Document/Publishing. Otherwise, everything so far looks good. Thanks, Rob
P.S. Frostwire installs the same way, into the Utility portion of Menu.

Hello !

@smil99, thanks you to confirm it works !
Now link is present on the website.
I wrote a new to announce that Cinnamon is now avalaible, and you helped me greatly.

@oligin10 Thanks you for your report, I will rebuild packages.
It's .desktop bug.
If you want, you can fix with editing abiword.desktop in /usr/share/applications.

I added 4 games :
-Nexuiz 2.5.2
-AssaultCube 1.1.0.4
-Lincity Ng 2.0
-Super Tux Kart 0.7.3

Thanks for your help !

Hello Jejy69

Fantastic distro ! cinnamon was a little bit demanding
for my old computer amd athlon xp i install compiz-xfce4 lucid
on top of cinnamon and now is very happy !!!

Is there a possibility for a build using Precise Retro (w/o PAE)? Unfortunately my old Pentium M doesn't have PAE. I am currently enjoying using your slacko version.

Hello Pchan

On lxpup i install nvidia-glx-394.43-precisek3.2.29 from precise repo , thats for my gforce 6200 , reboot make a save file , install
cinnamonv3 , reboot install compiz-xfce4 reboot compiz was on

in the menu settings -- Appearance you change styles and icons and fonts and in the emerald settings you can change borders , you will have
to download some themes for emerald (google emerald themes) and click import that is it good luck.

Hi jejy69,
You may want to rectify this:
After installing cinnamon, many menu entries are lost. For example, third level menu entries under 'Multimedia' do not appear at the expected places. However, they are visible when one clicks 'All Applications' at the top of the menu tree.
Nevertheless, I am loving Cinnamon, thanks to you.

Cheers.

Hello !

I added a package for Xfce 4.8, on the website !
However I recommend to use Carolina by Geoffrey and Elroy or ( Elroy and Geoffrey ) for a perfect Xfce puppy distribution.

mandibule2005, Wow, good job, I tried to get it working but without success for now. I will try to do qs you said, thanks

nufan, I begin to create a no-pae Lxpup based on the retro Precise tomorrow.
I think it will replace the venerable slacko version.
Thanks for your advice.

smil99, exact... Cinnamon's menu bug ? It seems it does not support sub-menus...
I will try to find something about it.

Thanks all !

hello I will try on another old computer today send you report if i succeed.

[mandibule2005]

I did not succeed with a old computer and older nvidia graphic card
GLX components missing Lxpup still very fast for this one.

P.S. Congrats for your web page !!!!
