how remove cinnamon

Post by snowraven667 »

i'm using was using mint 17 with Cinnamon then i install 17.1 "Rebecca" (not upgrade, i fully reinstall the system), but cinnamon start freezing for no reason, even with only libreoffice application open... I try a lot of things (disabling hardware acceleration, upgrading video drivers) but keeps happening; so right now my only guess is my CPU and RAM is too weak for Cinnamon, i decide to install XFCE, I know mint XFCE edition was released but i don't to have to reinstall my system again... I install through apt-get xfce4 and now is running like a charm, but i want to remove cinnamon how can i do, i try --purge but the synaptic manager tells me that still have cinnamon packages and he don't let me remove, How i can fully remove cinnamon/gnome packages...

Just for the record i have a Core2Duo E7600 with 2GB RAM and internal GPU...

Since you installed from the Cinnamon disk, there is no way. You will have to install from an Xfce disk to completely remove Cinnamon.
