gnome-tweak-tool can't be launch

recently, I have set the theme of the gnome. After trying several time, I can't open tweak.
I run gnome-tweak-tool, this showed:

[root@archlinux ~]# gnome-tweak-tool -vd
DEBUG   : Schema not translated org.gnome.shell (domain: gnome-shell)
DEBUG   : Schema not translated org.gnome.shell (domain: gnome-shell)
DEBUG   : Schema not translated org.gnome.shell (domain: gnome-shell)
DEBUG   : Schema not translated org.gnome.shell (domain: gnome-shell)

DEBUG   : Caching gsettings: <gtweak.gsettings._GSettingsSchema: org.gnome.shell>
DEBUG   : Shell version: [3, 26, 1]

Is there any problem?

Re: gnome-tweak-tool can't be launch

And this is the  /usr/bin/gnome-tweak-tool file

Posting that file should be completely pointless, but I noticed it's different from the gnome-tweak-tool from arch repos. Install gnome-tweak-tool from official repositories, and see if the problem persists.

Also, why are you trying to launch gnome-tweak-tool with root? You really shouldn't do that.

why can't? sorry for ignorance. Beginner of Linux
Also, I use pacman to download gnome tweak tool, isn't it official?

Use code tags when pasting to the boards: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … s_and_code

Your system is not up-to-date.

Please do some research yourself why this is a bad idea. It's explained in detail all over internet.

Also, a lot of applications aren't supposed to be used as root user, e.g. gnome-tweak-tool doesn't start as root for me either.

Also, I use pacman to download gnome tweak tool, isn't it official?

Yes (as long as you're configured to use official repos), but most likely your system is not up to date, as jasonwryan mentioned.
If you're new to arch, you should read this, especially the part about upgrading the system.

Re: gnome-tweak-tool can't be launch

I had the same problem. Find out that you need nautilus to be installed before you can run gnome-tweak-tool. Hope this helps!

Also you need to log out and in again inmediately after installing nautilus!
