I'm running Arch Linux/Cinnamon in Virtual Box on a Windows 7 machine. One of the technologies I need to use is WebGL. For whatever reason (that's a different issue), WebGL will not work when Display->Screen->Enable 3D Acceleration is enabled in Virtual Box. As a result, I've turned off 3D Acceleration, and am able to use WebGL just fine.
When I boot, though, I get a warning telling me I am running in software rendering mode. Is there some way to disable this warning?
I found a more targeted solution here. In short: Just comment out or remove the notifyCinnamon2d(); line in /usr/share/cinnamon/js/ui/main.js.
I have been searching for an answer to this, and the best I can do is go to System Settings > Notifications and turn "Enable notifications" off. This does not actually disable it but puts it in the systray area.
Cinnamon notices that only software rendering is available but the 2D mode isn't set implicitly.
(See @Zoltan's answer)
if (software_rendering && !GLib.getenv('CINNAMON_2D')) {
notifyCinnamon2d();
}
in /usr/share/cinnamon/js/ui/main.js
The easiest (and probably intended way) to get rid of this warning is selecting software rendering mode in the logon screen:
Be careful editing main.js!! You could really screw things up, maybe make a backup copy first if you're going to try this:
cp /usr/share/cinnamon/js/ui/main.js /usr/share/cinnamon/js/ui/main.bak.js
sudo nano /usr/share/cinnamon/js/ui/main.js
Press F6 to search and search for notifyCinnamon2d..
Literally just comment out this function call notifyCinnamon2d as per my screenshot link (Which I can't post because I'm under the limit to be able to post screenshots)
