Welcome to Ultimate Edition forums.
Like Xanayoshi said, Only run 'apt-get update'.
It will help you to install from repos on the net.
As far as Cinnamon is concerned, its still not in a very good state. Try your luck.
If you are getting a broken desktop, with panels missing etc...try and install nvidia proprietary drivers for your card from their website.(Its also available
in the PPA). Check the How-to section of forum on installing..
Nouveau is good but if its no luck, then go with the official drivers.
Thank you. Do I have to black list the Nouveau drivers when I install the Nvidia ones? I'm not 100% sure of my download either. I just learned what that md5? checksum is and that purpose while reading these forums. When installing this time I did not check the 2 boxes to "update while installing" and "install third party software" I ran an apt-get update after install and just ran through it's thing, but didn't update anything. My update manager was going insane popping up every few seconds and said I needed over 900 updates totaling just under a GB. I ran a partial update just for giggles to see if it would work. It added about 40 packages or so for the update and added Cinnamon 2D and another one, but still only Ubuntu and Gnome classic runs. Is there a way I can do the checksum on the disc it's burnt on? I saw how to do it for the downloaded one.
