Thanks, I look forward to the improvement in this and a cinnamon mix profile is a excellent idea. As Mate and Cinnamon confines to carry on the similarities of gnome 2 with it's simple functionality.

The only way I got out of this was masked systemd and upower. But I installed upower-pm-utils first. Cinnamon refused to installed as the fore mention was in conflict with each other all of them wanted to be installed at the same time.

http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/mint_main/qiana/main/base/mint-backgrounds-qiana I extracted this .deb to get linux mint wallpapers. Which look nice by the way. Cinnamon-Settings is not changing the desktop background so, just right click the image in the file manager. Apparently this effects all non-linuxmint distros.

Thanks! OpenRC is my choice and took about 2 hours. A wooping 170+ ebuilds. But it's worth the wait for 2.2 new features.

Finally got cinnamon running like linux mint. Had to add dbus to runlevel default. Make sure to eselect you gpu driver for opengl as this is not done automatic. Enable the introspection,dbus,and networkmanager flag. Install upower-pm-utils to prevent systemd upower install.

What tools are good to use to post terminal output without X to be use for logging info? etc..

http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/sys-power/upower-pm-utils/ChangeLog?revision=1.1&view=markup Had to emerge upower-pm-utils to get around the upower systemd conflict. Also I change my mix-ins profile to gnome as I figure I will probably need that will wait and see after merge what I get...

http://www.funtoo.org/Installing_Portage_From_Snapshot This should fix your problem I just wait till that get fix to change my password. Instead of changing password it's askling to create a new account for me.

I'm having problems changing my forum password. Everytime that I go to my profile setting to change there is a redirect to the account setup page. For appartley a new account setup. Thanks

Thanks! I need to learn to write ebuilds now so, I could have reported and fix the bug myself.

My problem is >=dev-lang/spidermonke-1.8.5 is needed for cinnamon2.2.14 and cjs-2.2.1

Actually cinnamon was installed on gentoo and was crashing in fallback mode not working in both modes So, any users got pass this issue. Next I'll try the IRC which I should have before posting.

Hi, I'm a new user to funtoo and was very amazed on how easy it is to configure and setup(Due to my sleepness nights of my first gentoo install) . Funtoo has rekindled my love for portage again :). I had this setup in no time now I want to try the cinnamon desktop. Would like to know if anyone has installed and how does it run. I know i had some problems on my gentoo machine and went back to slackware version of cinnamon(thanks to willysr). So I'm giving 2.2 a try since slackware only have 3.8 gtk3 version and 2.2 requires 3.10. Thanks
