Ubuntu Users Will No Longer Have a Cinnamon PPA
================================================================================

**Many Ubuntu users have been employing a third-party repository to test Cinnamon without installing Linux Mint to do it, but it seems that that will no longer be possible in the future.**
If you have an Ubuntu operating system, you are now able to test the Cinnamon desktop environment just by adding a PPA and installing the appropriate packages. This is as close as you can get to Linux Mint without actually installing another OS.
Unfortunately, this functionality is about to disappear, but not because the main maintainer doesn't want to continue offering it. Apparently, the Ubuntu repositories will no longer keep older versions of GNOME packages, which Cinnamon requires, making it difficult, if not impossible, to install it through this method.
“The stable PPA is indeed no longer being maintained. The nightly PPA is being kept for development purposes and should not be used on any sort of production machine (it can and will break at any time).”
“To be honest, I don't have an alternative to offer Ubuntu users at the moment, apart from switching to a distribution that does support Cinnamon. There are many such distributions out there, and I'm only hoping for someone to (finally) step up on Ubuntu's side to provide proper packages to its users,” [said][1] Gwendal Le Bihan, the maintainer of the Cinnamon packages.
This means that, for now, only an unstable PPA will be available, but it's only for testing. Users shouldn't employ it on their production machines, and soon the only way to see what Cinnamon looks like will be by installing Linux Mint (or Arch for that matter) or compile it for yourself.
If you still want to install Cinnamon, the unstable PPA is available for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr). All you have to do is to enter a few commands in a terminal (you will need to be root in order for it to work):
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gwendal-lebihan-dev/cinnamon-nightly
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cinnamon
After the installation has been completed, all you have to do is to log out of the system and choose Cinnamon from the greeter.
The Cinnamon desktop environment was developed as a GNOME shell fork with the aim to provide a simple and conservative alternative to everything that is offered right now. Many users are not happy with the direction taken by GNOME, Unity, and KDE and are looking for desktops that haven't strayed too much from the norm.
It's possible that someone else will set up another PPA with all the required packages to make Cinnamon work with the upcoming Ubuntu 14.10, but that is unlikely.

Ubuntu用户将不再有Cinnamon的PPA了
================================================================================
![](http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/news2/Ubuntu-Users-Will-No-Longer-Have-a-Cinnamon-PPA-443933-2.jpg)
**许多Ubuntu用户过去一直在使用第三方仓库体验Cinnamon而不用安装Linux Mint，然而似乎在不久的将来，不会再有Cinnamon的第三方仓库了**。
如果你在用Ubuntu系统，目前你能够通过添加一个PPA源并安装相应的软件包就可以体验到Cinnamon桌面环境。这让你可以获得像Linux Mint一样的体验，而不用真的去安装它。
不幸的是，该功能即将消失，但不是因为主要维护者不想再继续提供该软件。很显然，Ubuntu仓库将不再保留旧版本的GNOME软件包，而Cinnamon却需要这些包，这让Cinnamon要想通过PPA方式安装，即使可能，也困难重重。
“稳定的PPA源确实不再维护了，而每晚更新的PPA源也只为开发而保留，不应该用于任何种类的生产机器上（它可能会在任何时候中断）。”
“坦率地说，除了切换到其它支持Cinnamon的版本外，目前我没有其它替代品可以提供给Ubuntu用户。外面有很多这样的版本，我只是希望有人（最终）站到Ubuntu这边来为它的用户提供合适的包。”Gwendal Le Bihan——Cinnamon包的维护者[说][1]。
这意味着，从今往后，只有不稳定的PPA源可用了，但也只是用于测试，用户不应该将该源部署到生产机器上。而不久之后，你要想见见Cinnamon的样子，就只好去安装Linux Mint（或者Arch也行），或者你自己动手编译吧。
如果你仍然想要安装Cinnamon，Ubuntu 14.04 LTS（Trusty Tahr）可以使用不稳定的PPA源。你所要做是在终端下输入一些命令（你需要root身份来做此事）：
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gwendal-lebihan-dev/cinnamon-nightly
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cinnamon
安装完成后，你所要做的仅仅是注销系统并从欢迎屏幕选择Cinnamon桌面。
Cinnamon桌面环境是作为GNOME shell的分支开发的，目的在于提供一个简洁而保守的替代品用于替代当前提供的一切。许多用户不满意GNOME、Unity以及KDE的取向而正在寻找那些没有便宜常规太多的桌面。
有可能有别人会构建另外一个提供了所有所需软件包的PPA源，让Cinnamon能在即将发布的Ubuntu 14.10中正常工作，但可能性似乎不大。
