Unable to log in to Cinnamon after installing Deepin

JaredBusch

I installed the Deepin desktop experience the other day on my desktop.

It works fine, or seems to do so.

But I wanted to boot back into Cinnamon and when I choose it, type my password and login, it just comes back to the login.

Dropped to alternate shell with Ctrl+Alt+F2.

sudo dnf group remove "Cinnamon Desktop"
sudo dnf group install "Cinnamon Desktop"
sudo dnf group remove "Deepin Desktop"
sudo dnf group install "Cinnamon Desktop" # this installed 26 packages
reboot

Cinnamon Desktop usable again

This is a single OS.

sudo dnf -y group install "Deepin Desktop"

Try removing Cinnamon and then installing again.

Yeah it replaces some of the cinnamon packages with deepin versions apparently. Can't run them both at the same time as per some posts on other sites.
