i installed cinnamon from Aur, but cinnamon-settings doesn't run. launching from terminal:

[lepton@Potato Documentos]$ cinnamon-settings
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gobject/constants.py:24: Warning: g_boxed_type_register_static: assertion `g_type_from_name (name) == 0' failed
  import gobject._gobject
Traceback (most recent call last):

    img = GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf.new_from_file_at_size( iconFile, 48, 48)

    return info.invoke(cls, *args, **kwargs)
gi._glib.GError: No se ha reconocido el formato de imagen del archivo

translation of " No se ha reconocido el formato de imagen del archivo" is Uknown image file format. Reading the code of cinnamon-settings, i realize than the app is triyng to load svg images, so what packege i must install to get svg support?

Have this problem too.

I've got this too, have no idea what it is. Here's the error in english:

[greg@tab ~]$ cinnamon-settings

I'm not sure what the extra module errors are there, I certainly do have cinnamon-control-center package installed, which makes that error extra frustrating.

Moving to AUR Issues...

orschiro · 2013-03-05 09:45:38

Do not forget to install cinnamon-control-center if you want to use cinnamon-settings.

MisterAnderson · 2013-03-05 10:19:59

@jasonwryan:

[greg@tab ~]$ sudo pacman -Ss cinnamon
community/cinnamon 1.7.1-4 [installed]
    Linux desktop which provides advanced innovative features and a traditional
    user experience
community/cinnamon-control-center 1.7.1-3 [installed]
    The Control Center for Cinnamon
community/cinnamon-screensaver 1.7.1-4
    Screensaver designed to integrate well with the Cinnamon desktop.
community/muffin 1.7.1-1 [installed]
    Cinnamon window manager based on Mutter
community/nemo 1.7.1-2 [installed]
    Cinnamon file manager (Nautilus fork)

Could you please explain why you moved questions about a community package to AUR?

@MisterAnderson

Any errors when you launch cinnamon-control-center?

Do you have gnome-control-center installed, too?

Yes I did have gnome-control-center installed, but I got annoyed at cinnamon and installed XFCE4 instead. I don't know why I always try something else, XFCE always does it for me. Sorry I can't help anymore.

# edit: I hadn't realised that cinammon was moved between the OP and subsequent
posts—my bad. Moving back…

Try to uninstall gnome-control-center and only use cinnamon-control-center. Further, make sure that you install the most recent packages from community instead of the AUR.

MisterAnderson · 2013-03-06 13:59:54

Just for troubleshooting for others, I fresh installed all of gnome and cinnamon the day that I posted, I didn't use any AUR packages, so it's not related to that.

orschiro · 2013-03-10 10:27:03

I can confirm that there is something wrong with cinnamon-control-center. Even though it is installed it reports that it cannot find the region module and asks me whether cinnamon-control-center is installed at all.
