Hi,
I have a fedora21 workstation install with gnome3, and trying to replace
the desktop with Cinnamon.

Running 'yum groupinstall "Cinnamon Desktop"' results in the following

   You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
   You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Any ideas how to proceed? It's not normal to skip-broken, so I thought I
would see if there was a more common problem here...

Thanks, that's very helpful. I ended up solving it using "yum install @cinnamon-desktop" which seemed to work without issue.

Cinnamon, on the other hand, is significantly slower than the default GNOME. I've also realized it's easier to just go back to "GNOME Classic" for a beginning user via the gear icon at login time.

Thanks again,
Alex
