Repository with cinnamon-desktop-environment for Ubuntu

Question

I need a repository with cinnamon-desktop-environment for Ubuntu. Googled, but all of them have no CDE. P.S. No, answer about Mate is unuseful because of pure design.

arthur@arthur-pc:~$ apt-cache policy cinnamon cinnamon-common

The package was introduced in 15.04, so it's unlikely you'll get in 14.04. Just install manually. — muru, Jun 22 '15 at 15:26

Check the official MATE wiki http://wiki.mate-desktop.org/download — xangua, Jun 22 '15 at 15:48
@A.B., because of I have no Cinnamon session after the Cinnamon installation. — Arthur Kharkivskiy, Jun 22 '15 at 17:21
@ArthurKharkivskiy if you don't have a Cinnamon session, then ask about that, not about a package you think will solve your problem. http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/66377/what-is-the-xy-problem Which files are present in /usr/share/xsessions and, what is the output of apt-cache policy cinnamon cinnamon-common? — muru, Jun 22 '15 at 20:22
@muru, /usr/share/xsessions/cinnamon.desktop /usr/share/xsessions/cinnamon2d.desktop. Output in the question description. — Arthur Kharkivskiy, Jun 22 '15 at 20:55
@muru, a desktop environment and a distro is not the same. He don't use a different distro, so here or in launchpad will be the correct place to ask, but not in linux mint, as clear this is not a Mint problem. What is not ok is that he open two question for the same thing. http://askubuntu.com/questions/639537/ubuntu-14-04-cinnamon — lestcape, Jun 23 '15 at 04:38
@lestcape I know the difference between a desktop environment and a distro. I also know the Mint repositories when I see them. — muru, Jun 23 '15 at 04:40

You could use ONE of the PPAs below. Please do not use both PPAs simultaneously.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lestcape/cinnamon
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cinnamon

or

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tsvetko.tsvetkov/cinnamon
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cinnamon

You can remove Cinnamon with ppa-purge:

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge

And depending which PPA you have used:

sudo ppa-purge ppa:tsvetko.tsvetkov/cinnamon

or

sudo ppa-purge ppa:lestcape/cinnamon

Both contain a cinnamon-desktop, neither contains cinnamon-desktop-environment. What's the difference? – muru Jun 22 '15 at 16:10
@muru Ups, OP needs cinnamon-desktop-environment? I clarify that. – A.B. Jun 22 '15 at 16:12
