Description: Upon upgrading the cinnamon package from
1.9.2-3 to 2.0.2-1, both Cinnamon and Cinnamon (Software
Rendering) fail to start, giving the dialog box "Cinnamon
failed to start. Would you like to restart?".
Reverting cinnamon back to 1.9.2-3 resolves problems. This only occurs with my set-up with an AMD Radeon 6480G card running AMD Catalyst installed from Vi0L0's repository. This problem is not present on a separate set-up with an Intel Graphics 3000. Please see the first post of the following thread for Cinnamon 2.0.2-1 with AMD Catalyst packaged at version 13.10. I have also tested the cinnamon 1.9.2-3 vs cinnamon 2.0.2-1 with AMD Catalyst packaged at versions 13.4, 13.8 and 13.11 and the result is the same. |

EDIT: This is the "following thread" that I was supposed to refer
to in the initial posting:

Ok, so after some profound rage about why I couldn't get Cinnamon
2.0.2-1 to work, I did a fresh install of ArchLinux with Catalyst
13.11, Cinnamon 2.0.2-1 and Linux-ck 3.11.5-1 packages from the
pacman cache I had from the old installation and it all magically
works, despite not working previously with the exact same
packages. Not really a solution as such, but I thought I'd tell
you all.
