Repair broken(or new) Installation of Cinnamon on Debian Wheezy:
I have experienced that using the linux Mint repository in wheezy causing broken packages. This is because Mint (LMDE) is using the testing/developer version and wheezy are the stable version.
Use synaptic to uninstall everything from the mint repository except "libopus0".
Comment out lines with the mint repository in /etc/apt/source.list.
Download and unpack this archive - 32 bit - / - 64 bit -and run cininst.sh as root.
Open terminal:
32 bit:
$ su
$ mkdir /root/cininst
$ cd /root/cininst
$ wget http://onnet.dk/download/cinnamonwheezystable_i386.zip
$ unzip cinnamonwheezystable_i386.zip
$ ./cininst.sh
64 bit:
$ su
$ mkdir /root/cininst
$ cd /root/cininst
$ wget http://onnet.dk/download/cinnamonwheezystable_amd64.zip
$ unzip cinnamonwheezystable_amd64.zip
$ ./cininst.sh
Finally you can set cinnamon as default:
$ update-alternatives --set x-session-manager /usr/bin/cinnamon-session
This is "as is" - No warrenty or support at all
The packages were build using instructions from this Site.
