OK, I didn't do the re-install. I did try using Gnome with a new user but I got the same result.xenopeek wrote:No, if you have Linux Mint 17 that shouldn't be the problem. Cinnamon can coexists with Gnome Shell in that release. It must be something else.
My next recommendation would be:
1. Create a new user account
2. Log out, and log in with the new user account to Gnome Shell
I think perhaps something on your current user account (user preferences or settings) might be causing issues. I always test new desktop environments on a new user account.
