I like boot my computer to multi-user.target ( it is command line )
and I like Cinnamon desktop environment.
But I can NOT to start Cinnamon desktop environment from command line :
root@ferrum:~# cinnamon-session
**(cinnamon-session:51470):WARNING**:Cannot open display:
This notification is the single result of command cinnavon-session,
Cinnamon X session does NOT start !
. . . This does NOT depend from existence or value
of the DISPLAY environment variable.

Hi,
cinnamon-session is a session manager: it doesn't start an X server, it
needs one already running, so from a text console "Cannot open display"
is the expected result. From the console you can start X together with
the session as a normal user (not root), e.g. with "startx
/usr/bin/cinnamon-session-cinnamon"; note that upstream only supports
starting Cinnamon from a display manager such as lightdm.
This is not a bug, so I'm closing it.
Regards,
Fabio
