[Cinnamon] Can't open Cinnamon control panel

Rukiri · 2013-03-23 15:17:01

I don't know if there's any bugs, but I haven't seen anything over on the Mint forums nor from github. Basically, I can't open the control panel. I'm using the latest version from the repos.

Anyone else having this issue, or if you solved this issue please share on how you solved the problem.

Thanks!

Post the output of $ cinnamon-settings

trailblazerz · 2013-03-25 13:55:40

I have similar issue, the output for cinnamon settings is

   File "/usr/lib/cinnamon-settings/cinnamon-settings.py", line 330, in <module>
    MainWindow()
  File "/usr/lib/cinnamon-settings/cinnamon-settings.py", line 124, in __init__
    mod = modules[i].Module(self.content_box)
  File "/usr/lib/cinnamon-settings/modules/cs_keyboard.py", line 163, in __init__
    gclient = gconf.client_get_default()
NameError: global name 'gconf' is not defined

orschiro · 2013-03-25 13:57:24

Have you got gconf installed?

trailblazerz · 2013-03-25 16:09:02

Yes I do

I found this though https://github.com/Lusito/Cinnamon/comm … 7ba3d62922
Supposedly fixes the same error I have however I get the following error after those changes

Traceback (most recent call last):

I had the same issue and I look for the repository traiblazerz links in his post. I see that almost the change was gconf with capital G in the file so I backed up /usr/lib/cinnamon-settings/bin/SettingsWidgets.py and edit it and see a commented line like this

#import gconf

I uncommented and try to execute cinnamon-settings again and it works good, maybe it can work for you

Just wanted to report that uncommenting the gconf import worked for me.

Strider · 2013-03-25 20:54:33

Uncommenting the gconf import solved the issue for me too, so please update the package.

orschiro · 2013-03-26 12:49:22

I created a bug report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/34472

cinch · 2013-03-28 19:23:16

those changes^^ fixes it... sorta: the control center launches but then i click on the sound button:

% 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

Very strange indeed. For me it works flawlessly.

The latest "news" on the Cinnamon page is from November 14th, 2012... That's kind of old for a fairly young (Dec.2011) project if you ask me. I just recently wanted to try Cinnamon - but when I saw that there is no news, I passed, for now.

orschiro · 2013-03-30 08:39:02

@vvd

You should not judge based on the official cinnamon website. News are rather posted jointly with Linux Mint: http://blog.linuxmint.com/

vvd · 2013-03-30 09:47:18

Another reason why this is a bad timing: Gnome 3.8 is just around the corner and Cinnamon depends on lot's of gnome stuff! Those are things that need to be considered on ArchLinux.

@orschiro
I would suggest everyone who is interested in Cinnamon to install LinuxMint on a free partition (it's always good to have some of those).

I have this problem, but it seems that the changes suggested in trailblazerz link have already been implemented. There is no

#import gconf

to uncomment, and checking all the files listed, the changes have been made. The bug report https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/34472 is marked as solved, but I am still getting

orschiro · 2013-04-07 15:57:01

I cannot reproduce your error. Have you tried reinstalling all Cinnamon packages, including glib packages?

chsinpc · 2013-04-07 19:43:56

I have got the same error. Reinstalling librsvg solved the problem (Found it in another thread on this forum https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=89043):

sudo pacman -S librsvg

Awesome, this solved it. I had also lost all my applets on my panel but they have returned now too!
Thanks.

@checholin87

Did you do `sudo pacman -S librsvg`?

What happens if you use `$ cinnamon-settings`?

checholin87 · 2013-11-08 00:07:59

Hello

Yes I have do 'sudo pacman -S librsvg'.

In this moment I haven't any idea was going on..

orschiro · 2013-11-08 10:24:55

It complains about a missing bluetooth module. Did you install `bluez` from the official repositories?

checholin87 · 2013-11-10 18:07:44

Yes, i have installed "bluez" from official repositories, but the problem persist.
