I saw your post earlier, when you hadn’t ran these commands yet. I don’t know how to reset the Cinnamon settings, except from Cinnamon’s troubleshooter on the panel You could create a new user, and that user should get the default Cinnamon configuration and not yours. I’m not sure where to go from there, I hope somebody else can pitch in.

Sorry answered you PM and not aware of your situation.
zerozero gives a good suggestion.
And you can’t change themes in Cinnamon Settings>Themes?

Reset Cinnamon to its original state

Post by cecilieaux » Sun Nov 15, 2015 9:48 am

got rid of customizations that got me into trouble as a result of tweaking. Is there a similar «back to brand new» command for Cinnamon?

[SOLVED] How manually reset user’s cinnamon settings?

Post by christian.convey » Tue May 29, 2012 11:10 am

I’ve somehow goofed up my account’s Cinnamon settings. (I’m using Linux Mint 13, but it’s an upgrade from Mint 12, and I retained the content of my ~ directory).

Is there some set of files I can blow away, so that the next time I log into my account, I have a default Cinnamon configuration?

find/grep have been less useful than I hoped.

[Edit] your original post and add [SOLVED] once your question is resolved.

“The people are my God” stressing the factor determining man’s destiny lies within man not in anything outside man, and thereby defining man as the dominator and remoulder of the world.

Could you be more specific?

I have LOTS of settings for programs in my home folder that I’m not willing to lose. I made a guest account and cinnamon works fine for it, but my main account gives a fatal error and logs out.

Does anyone know where the settings for cinnamon are in home?
